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 TFE 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 renewables. 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!

Buildings as Batteries – the power of demand management to slash the need for new energy

Craig Roussac's work on how demand management can accelerate the net zero transition through Buildings Alive is a story that grabbed the attention even of the Sydney Morning Herald.

But how does this work in practice? What does this mean for your business? Craig will take you through the key steps in this transformational opportunity.

You'll hear how Green Star is working with these ideas in industry policy and how the industry as a whole is collaborating through ASBEC on better outcomes that will help your business achieve net zero.

My Beautiful Big Electric Shed – industrial property, sustainability & ESG

The last time we looked, big sheds were vast and a bit rusty. Today, they've transformed into key drivers of our new economy. And they're sophisticated!

Discover the emerging world of logistics and related industrial property in this all-telling session. Behind the vast walls and under the tall roofs of the Big Sheds are now solar panel arrays, battery systems, sustainable sensibilities and strong drivers to ESG outcomes.

Find out why tenants demand the best designs and outcomes and why some owners are rejecting tenants if they don't cut the ESG mustard.

Meanwhile, the new building codes want to make sure they can carry a big solar load on the roof.

Also behind all this are big corporate drivers - companies such as Toll, DHL, Woolies and all the other big retailers that are sending goods straight to our doors.

So, how are the owners faring in this rapidly evolving world of industrial sheds? What is their plan? Find out from those at the top of the industrial game.
