AMCA Australia is hosting a Building Ventilation Summit as a virtual event on February 24 and 25.

“Recognising both the technical and people challenges involved in providing safe indoor environments,” says AMCA Australia, “the Building Ventilation Summit brings together experts from across the sector and beyond to discuss the latest approaches being adopted by industry, the health, economic and political contexts, and the likely medium-and long-term reform implications.” 

Day one of the Summit will have a largely technical focus, covering discussions about current approaches being adopted by industry and the medium-and longer-term implications of COVID-19 for buildings. 

Day two will focus more on people, workplaces, and communities, as well as the broader economic, demographic, and political context. 

Confirmed speakers include erstwhile Victorian Premier Ted Baillieu; Brett Fairweather, M.AIRAH; Geoff Hanmer; Rob Adams; Kate Cole; journalist Jon Faine; celebrity demographer Bernard Salt; and Tim Wheeler.

Desiring to use actionable data from our buildings is undoubtedly a good thing. To effectively do this, however, defining terms and allocating responsibility for tasks is essential – especially when the “smarts” from our edifices exist in the space between systems.
