Green Buildings And Sustainable Performance On Display IN the biggest show in its 14 year history, ARBS 2012 will pack more than 250 exhibitors under one roof at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. Open over three days to allow visitors plenty of time to browse, exhibitors will showcase their latest offerings, including plenty that support architects and specifiers seeking high green star and NABERS ratings. Running alongside the exhibition, the ARBS 2012 technical seminar series gives you a golden opportunity for professional development and industry networking. This year’s seminar series focuses on sustainability and building performance. Behind the Curtain Keynote speaker Jerry Yudelson looks behind the curtain to see the reality about so-called sustainable buildings. In a sneak preview of the material to be covered in his forthcoming book The World's Greenest Buildings: Promise Versus Performance in Sustainable Design, international thought leader Yudelson discusses case studies and green building performance, including Australia’s own Pixel building. Nominated by James L Williams and selected as a finalist in the ARBS industry awards category for HVAC Project Excellence, the Pixel building has just been awarded the world’s highest LEED rating from the US Green Building Council. Those with a deep-seated interest in this area will not want to miss the opportunity to attend Yudelson’s MasterClass. The small group session offers the opportunity to pick Yudelson’s brains about the space, in addition to hearing the results of his latest research and practical work. If you’re looking to take your sustainable building design to the next level, this is an opportunity to seize. Green Star – Performance, Energy Performance Contracts and More Other seminar sessions include an update on the state of the Green Star – Performance rating tool. Presented by Robert Milagre of the Green Building Council of Australia, this session has the details you need to understand the new rating system and how and when it will be taken up by industry. Bryon Price of A.G. Coombes will tell you “everything you ever wanted to know about energy performance contracts – but were afraid to ask!”, while Anthony Calderone of Aurecon profiles a green retrofit project undertaken in Melbourne’s CBD.
