Green technology conference – register now!

28 July 2010 - The Australian Institude of Refrigeration, Airconditioning & Heating (AIRAH) is running an exciting new conference on sustainable building technologies.

‘Achieving the Green Dream: Tomorrow’s Technology Today‘ will be held from 16-17 September, 2010, in Melbourne.
This national conference will focus on gaining practical knowledge on implementing and delivering new sustainable building technologies.
As we all know, there is a formidable array of new building technology that is designed to improve sustainability and energy efficiency in buildings, but the volume of information is stretching the skills and understanding of those who implement it. The idea behind the Achieving the Green Dream conference is to identify the new technologies confronting those who work in our industry, and to better prepare them for the challenges they face.
Topics and case studies presented on include:

  • Solar cooling in Australia
  • Geothermal
  • Phase change material
  • Black and greywater reuse
  • Cogeneration / Trigeneration
  • Biomass renewable energy
  • Seawater cooling
  • District energy precincts
  • Report on world leading intelligent buildings - integrated controls
  • Mixed mode ventilation.

    I am a research student at the University of Nottingham in the UK, researching about the potentials of O&M manuals in sustainable designs and why building designers must see it as a way forward in achieving sustainability for sustainable designs. Unfortunately am just reading about this promising conference today 30th July. So I will not be able to attend, but would like to get copies of all papers presented at the conference, I am positive that some would help in my research. If I need to pay a fee for that please do let me know. In future, I will like to get information about similar conferences in Australia well ahead of time. I may even be interested in making presentations too. I am a Nigerian and an architect with great passion for facilities management.
    Thank You.

Facility Management

For over 17 years Facility Management (FM) has been the only Australian publication dedicated exclusively to the facilities management industry.

Published bimonthly, FM is a truly independent publication. Its editorial is tailored to meet the needs of readers – not the vested interests of industry associations. As a result, FM is firmly established as the magazine of first choice for marketing products and services to the purchasing decision-makers responsible for the management of all aspects of the built environment.

Current Issue!

Welcome to the Aug-Sep 10 issue of Facility Management, Australia’s premier independent publication servicing the information needs of facility managers and allied professionals in the property maintenance sector.

In this issue we present a detailed expose of Australia’s cabling crisis; our buildings are being choked by data and electrical cabling and major policy reforms are needed to correct entrenched problems.

And don’t miss the following important features: Retail, Storage, and Landscaping.

Retail
Commercial pressures in retail environments are always present – the facility manager must deliver eye-catching external and internal signage, hygienic washrooms, OHS-compliant access, water-saving HVAC units – and everything else that goes into making a trouble-free, joyous shopping experience!. See our special case study profiling the new Doncaster BMW complex in Bundoora, Melbourne.

Storage
Property purchase and lease costs per square metre are enough to reduce seasoned businesspeople to tears, so the facility manager who can squeeze extra functionality out of limited storage space is delivering tangible returns to his company. We look at automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), as well as the latest developments in data storage.

Landscaping
Many facility managers think of landscaping as a rectangular garden in front of a building… but a new generation of building designers and managers is embracing a far bolder definition of landscaping – one that places plant life within, above and wrapped around a building.

And much, much more!
