Retrofitting for Energy Efficiency - Melbourne provides a unique forum for everyone involved in the retrofitting of buildings to discuss how to get the most 'bang for your buck'. Developed through extensive research with key stakeholders it is the only event born from the industry for the industry.

Commercial building’s account for over half the carbon emissions in urban Australia. The more telling figure is that these emissions have grown 87% from 1990-2006. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions have become centrepieces to CSR statements and what private business is pushing for, Government is aiding with the easing of access to funding for retrofitting projects.

In Victoria and NSW, the Governments have provided roughly similar benefits including tax breaks, reduced loan rates and the capability of building owners to pass on project costs that create energy savings to tenants. Scott Bocskay, CEO, Sustainable Melbourne Fund, Niall McCarthy, Director, Eureka Funds Management Limited and Meg McDonald, CEO, Low Carbon Australia will be on hand to offer key insight into the funding that is available for your building retrofit.

Backing up their support of sustainable developments, both Victoria and NSW have ongoing retrofitting projects underway. In Melbourne the 10 year 1200 Buildings program moves from strength to strength and Sydney currently has 44 expressions of interest to reduce both energy and water use across the city.

Enabling all of this are the technology suppliers, expert consultant, architects and contractors that are enabling property owners and developers to get the 'biggest bang for their buck' as they embark no their own retrofitting projects.

Join us in Melbourne to hear from the industries leading experts and leave with a clear outlook on:

  • What funding your building is eligible for
  • Which technologies will get you best return on investment for your retrofit
  • Best practice for tenant engagement, communication and management, pre, during and post retrofit

Feedback from previous Retrofitting Delegates

The Retrofitting for Energy Efficiency conference proved to be a very interesting occasion to share and learn about energy efficiency oriented retrofits and renovations. We are all facing similar problems and obstacles, so the conference was a great opportunity to discuss different solutions and experiences, and allowed me to gain important insight of where the energy markets and technology are going. Although University buildings can be quite different to office buildings, the same basic principles can be applied to any building renovation project.
