Stories With A Heartbeat - Episode 6 - The Bridge

This Living Building Conversation focuses on the ways we ensure that our buildings are built to perform and ensure we live and work in efficient and comfortable places.

Buildings can be designed to be energy efficient and intended to provide comfortable places to live and work, however whether the building performs as is intended during operation can be a grey area. Gaps in actual construction, quality assurance through construction and user behaviour can all be contributors to buildings using more energy than anticipated. There is a gaining focus within the development industry to address these gaps via testing & monitoring of buildings, improving quality checks throughout construction and improve user behaviour.

Our Panel is be hosted by ASBN’s Chairman Ken Long who will lead the discussion spanning the latest research and industry trends. 

Our Panel for Living Building Conversations #13 is: 
Mark Clayton – SUHO
Rachel Brdanovic – Tandem Energy
Dr Lyrian Daniel - University of Adelaide | Healthy Cities Research Group
