This year’s Seminar Series offers 5 sessions to help build your tool kit when it comes to achieving net zero energy buildings. We are excited about session 3 of the series - Tools for Passive Design, happening on Tuesday 13 August.
This session will cover passive measures to create resilient and healthy places and reduce operational carbon emissions.
Starting with precinct design and the urban heat island effect, this session will narrow its focus to built form and facade design,before delving into building interiors, considering layout, use/function, and passive measures such as natural ventilation to enhance thermal comfort through modeling.
Highlights of Day 3 | Tools for passive design, chaired by Marius Rime Meyer
Presentations:
Overheating Criteria for Australian Residential Context
Learn about the challenges and solutions for designing naturally ventilated homes in Australia, including an assessment of CIBSE TM59’s applicability in subtropical regions based on data from over 140 dwellings in Sydney and Brisbane.
Urban Heat Island Effect - Digital Design for Healthy Precincts
Explore digital design tools and strategies for mitigating the Urban Heat Island Effect, creating healthier, safer, and more resilient urban precincts.
Façade Design in Net Zero Buildings
Understand the crucial role of façade design in reducing whole life carbon emissions. This session will cover the balance between operational carbon reductions and embodied carbon in façade construction and maintenance.
The seminar series provides exceptional CPD with five 2 hour sessions weekly that can be watched live or on demand. This is an event you won’t want to miss! Secure your spot today and be part of this incredible opportunity to gain valuable knowledge and insights from leading experts.
We look forward to seeing you at the Seminar Series!
