Sustainability - Design and Build

How is sustainability incorporated into construction projects?

It starts with a mature client and experienced design team and is achieved with a competent constructor. As the guidelines and requirements improve to measure the “sustainability” of a building, precinct or infrastructure, how can quantity surveyors stay informed and assist with sustainability value management? Join leading Melbourne ESD consultant, Sian Willmott (AECOM), to discuss key sustainable design considerations and recent innovations across various sectors and Sustainability Manager (VIC and SA), James Wewer (Lendlease) who will present some recent case studies incorporating sustainability into construction.

Learn about sustainability trends in the industry and how they can impact your role; including:
•    The WELL Building Standard
•    The new release of Green Star
•    The rise of Passive House in Australia

Join us for an informative afternoon on AECOM's latest design consideration and Leandlease's latest sustainable projects.
