Abstracts
AIRAH is now calling for abstracts to be submitted.
PreLoved Buildings Conference committee chair Paul Davy, M.AIRAH, says that abstracts are welcome on a range of topics.
“In general, abstracts that encourage interaction with the audience are encouraged,” Davy says. “We are looking for a higher percentage of workshops, panel sessions or other more innovative ways of including everybody's views and experiences in the conference. Horror story case studies are encouraged – not just success stories.”
Abstracts are welcome but not limited to on an array of subjects, including:
- Case studies of Grade B, C or D commercial buildings, data centres, healthcare facilities, aged care/retirement living facilities.
- Case studies of upgrades requiring attention to the building fabric and facades, perhaps dictated by a requirement to comply with Part J of the NCC.
- Building owner and building manager perspectives – what works, what doesn't. What do building owners and building managers want from their buildings and consultants? What work do they value?
- How practitioners can build a business case for improvement initiatives; how to communicate/market; how to make it happen.
- Securing project financing, and how the works can impact on a building's value.
The Sydney 2013 PreLoved Buildings Conference is the seventh in a series of highly successful AIRAH conferences, with previous iterations held in Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, as well as previously in the New South Wales capital.
By submitting an abstract, delegates are agreeing to submit a technical paper. AIRAH non-members chosen to present at the conference will be charged a small fee.
Abstracts are due July 26. Email kristy@airah.org.au to submit your abstract or for more information.
