The climate change issue continues to dominate in the public domain. But more awareness is still needed to provide buildings that are more energy and water effective and environmentally compatible – here's why:
Almost a quarter of Australia's total greenhouse gas emissions are a result of energy demand in the building sector* and the installed base of non-residential HVAC systems in Australia are estimated to**:
- Depending on the building type and use, be responsible for between 40% and 60% of all energy used in non residential buildings;
- On average create more than 55% of electrical demand recorded in CBD buildings during peak demand periods;
- Consume 9% of electricity produced in Australia and produce more than 3.6% of the total Australian greenhouse gas inventory (>21Mt CO 2 pa);
- Involve cooling towers that consume billions of litres of water per annum in Australia and
- Service approximately 120 million m2 of buildings.
Our expert speakers will share their approaches and insights on tackling these issues.
