MARCH
EVENT
The Big Debate: Rating Tools
31 Mar. | 5-7.30 pm
Arup Sydney, Sydney
The National Construction Code, NatHERS, Basix, NABERS, Green Star and the rest…there is a bevy of constraints and expected outcomes that are driving designers, developers and other professionals a little bit nuts. Or are they?
We’ll hold a debate with the audience voting before and after they hear the arguments to see if their thinking has changed.
Here’s our proposition: Rating tools are brilliant ways to achieve sustainability and quality

JUNE
THE GREEN LIST – SPECIAL REPORT
Interior Design – Finding Glamour in Sustainability
30 Jun. | 9 am – 5 pm | Sydney
Offices, hospitality and public spaces are leaning into the beauty and glamour of nature and sustainability
In a world of shrinking resources, bringing in nature and organic materials is starting to look cool. Even sexy. Old furniture is being repurposed for advertising studios. And the notion of “emotional durability” (the love of objects for long) is starting to take hold. New bio-based materials continue to encroach on traditional ones. We’ll invite architects and designers to show us how they are redefining the glamour in our offices, hospitality and public spaces.

THE GREEN LIST – SPECIAL REPORT
Lighting & Acoustics
Published in The Green List, The Fifth Estate and in the TFE newsletter
The new breed of green illumination and acoustics. Lighting has an enormous range of functions and forms. Think task lighting that makes a place feel intimate and quiet, safety in dark public spaces, the role of light pollution on nature and the diverse needs of people, whether at the office, public spaces or at home.
Acoustics is equally a delicate matter and in some cases keeping workers away from the office and apartment dwellers awake at night.
If we are to work together and live closer together we need to have vastly better solutions for both these challenges.

OCTOBER
EVENT & DEBATE
Circular Disruption and why we’re talking about China
20 Oct. | 5-7.30 pm | Sydney
Developers, architects, engineers, scientists and builders have a huge job ahead of them to re-invent how we build buildings while we protect and regenerate nature. Meanwhile most of our materials come from China – learn about its embedded carbon metrics and the 6 zeroes it’s working on for radical sustainability.
The big debate: Glass versus steel, versus timber, versus concrete – is the answer really “and and” or does one overwhelmingly come out tops?

NOVEMBER
EVENT – QANDA
Green Developers – Secrets and Lies
3 Nov. | 9am – 5 pm | Sydney
Good developers exist! But like the rest of us they’re still learning and can make mistakes. How about a warts and all look at the case studies of what went right and what went wrong?
Let’s get an architect, engineer, builder, consent authority together and ask them how they got the client over the line on a special sustainability ambition – what worked and what didn’t work? And why?
The good the bad and the ugly
