We’re in the race of our lives! We need to get to net zero, and the government wants to know how we’re tracking – big property owners, in particular, and their tenants – are under the pump. So, how are we doing?
Join The Fifth Estate and some of the best experts in the business to discover what’s happening in the world of energy demand management and how this can save money and our need for new energy.
And then jump into the extraordinary new world of big industrial sheds and discover what’s going on under those enormous walls and tall tin roofs? You’ll find highly sophisticated robotics, retrieval systems, mass EV charging appetites (along with fire hazards) and sustainability must have.
In fact, some tenants are being rejected by the landlord because, well they’re just not green enough and will spoil the Scope 3 and ESG reports. Blame Covid for our new online shopping habits and how the giants are giving us what we want. But at what cost? We’ve gone from analogue bricks to invisible but massive energy appetites.
You’ll learn:
- how owners and tenants stay competitive while juggling razor thin margins and the need to get to net zero as fast as possible
- what the Green Building Council of Australia, NABERS and the CDB disclosure programs doing to help
- the regulations and government policies on the way
And all the time, you will be immersed in the creative ways the best brains in the business are coming up with to solve our collective problems. Let’s see if we can prise some of the logistics secrets from those who hold them close to their chests!
