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.
Register for the event.
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.
