EDITOR’S NOTE
While some things remain the same, Energy efficiency moves forward
A
fter a few stop start attempts at delivering an in person Green Living Conference this year we have had to again deliver an online event. 2021 marks the 16th year of the Master Builders Green Living Conference. One of the things that I’ve found most enjoyable over the years is catching up with attendees and seeing attendees enjoy catching up with each other; swapping ideas and stories. It’s something that I often get comments about from people who attend for the first time. So while moving online is not quite the same, it has provided an opportunity for more to be involved from regional,
interstate and even from international locations. In this issue we share an update with you about Master Builders’ work as part of the Building CRC 4.0. We also have a look at last years best sustainable house and project winners from the Master Builders Excellence in Housing and Construction Awards and review the coming changes to energy efficiency in the NCC 2022. I’m extremely excited to continue to provide you with the most up-to-date information and most importantly, solutions. Cheers, Phil
