1 PROGRAM CRC FOR LOW CARBON LIVING 2016 PARTICIPANTS ANNUAL FORUM AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL MARITIME MUSEUM, SYDNEY

2 CRC FOR LOW CARBON LIVING 2016 PARTICIPANTS ANNUAL FORUM AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL MARITIME MUSEUM, SYDNEY WELCOME FROM THE CHAIR I am pleased to welcome you to the CRC for Low Carbon Living s fourth Participants Annual Forum. This event brings together our many industry and government partners, researchers and students to celebrate the work of the CRCLCL over the past year. Industry peak bodies are an integral part of the CRCLCL community and this year, we are partnering with the Australian Sustainable Built Environment Council (ASBEC) on a panel on Day 2. The panel will discuss ASBEC s 2016 Low Carbon, High Performance report, which outlined the opportunities for reduction of carbon emissions in the built environment sector and proposed a related policy roadmap. The ASBEC panel will continue the conversation on policy and regulation begun on Day 1 during the Towards Global Best Practice in Building Policy and Regulation panel. Led by our Deputy Chair Sandy Hollway AO, the Day 1 panel will discuss global best practices for policy and regulation of energy and carbon outcomes in the built environment. A highlight of last year s Forum was presenting a prize for best student poster and I look forward to doing so again this year. Our student cohort is engaged in a broad spectrum of research, encompassing many areas of the built environment and I encourage you to take the time to look at their posters during the breaks. Our students will be on hand to answer any of your questions. Participants and partners in the CRC for Low Carbon Living are in a unique position to be able to actively contribute to the achieving the aims of Australian governments at all levels in lowering the carbon emissions of buildings, precincts and communities. I wish you a collaborative and enjoyable two days. The Hon Robert Hill AC Chair: CRC for Low Carbon Living WELCOME FROM THE CEO Welcome to the CRC for Low Carbon Living Participants Annual Forum 2016, an opportunity to explore the collaborative research and innovation that will underpin a globally competitive low carbon built environment sector. This year, we are dedicating a session to our Research Nodes of Excellence. Designed to be hubs for multidisciplinary research into low carbon built environments, the Nodes are hosted by five of our university partners and will form an integral part of our legacy. They will ensure that the research we initiated will continue to contribute to the sustainability and economic prosperity of Australia beyond the lifespan of the CRCLCL. The Nodes are up and running and you ll hear from Node leaders about their various activities as well as opportunities for collaboration. Though the CRCLCL is a national research hub, we make every effort to build global collaborative links with other organisations in the low carbon sector. This year, we are glad to welcome Dr Brian Motherway, Head of the Energy Efficiency Division at the International Energy Agency (IEA) as a keynote speaker on Day 1. I look forward to his presentation. We are also fortunate to be joined by Ms Jillian Broadbent AO, Chair of the Clean Energy Finance Corporation and Chancellor of our newest research partner, the University of Wollongong. Jillian will open the Day 2 panel with a short presentation on transforming investment in Australia s low carbon buildings. Her unique experience across industry and research sectors make her insights particularly relevant to all involved with the CRCLCL. I hope you thoroughly enjoy this year s Participants Annual Forum, and I look forward to catching up with you at some stage during the event.
