Master Builders Association of Victoria 2023 Green Living Conference Building for the Future

The National Construction Code 2022 includes numerous significant changes. The 7 Star and whole of house rating is here. What will this mean and how can you deliver on these most effectively?

With energy costs increasing almost constantly, cost of living pressures and people continuing to work from home there is an increased awareness of energy spending on household budgets. More than ever a well built, energy efficient home that is warm in winter, cool in summer and filled with daylight all year long is critically important. People looking to transition to renewable energy are looking for real information that bypasses all the myths.

The Green Living Conference features industry experts who will explain what it takes to build and renovate for improved energy efficiency and comfort. New methods, materials and appliances are changing the way we build. Take part in question and answer sessions with industry experts for the opportunity to have all your questions answered, as well as product demonstration sessions with the latest information.

Master Builders Victoria is proud to have presented the Green Living Conference for 17 years. Our goal each time is to raise awareness of the development of quality construction trends.
