Seminars are held in Hobart and Launceston. If you have any specific topic areas or issues you feel should be addressed please let us know. Winter Seminar Series 1. Environmentally Sustainable Building Practice Presented by Professor Roger Fay, Head of the School of Architecture at the University of Tasmania.
Buildings cause significant environmental impacts.
This happens due to where and how they are built and the significant amount of operational energy used each year to run them. Moderating these impacts is becoming a major national debate, currently centered on Greenhouse gas emissions. This seminar will look at these impacts, and approaches to minimise them through informed design practices and careful selection of materials. It will outline current assessment methods and design advise and look at case studies in both Australia and overseas. Hobart Hobart Vista Hotel 156 Bathurst Street 6-8pm, Thursday 28th June 2001 2.
