We’ve got a brilliant guest speaker this month. If you are interested in energy-efficient buildings, you must try and get along to this one.
Professor Sandy Bond, Lincoln University
speaking on
The Uptake of Sustainability Practices for Building Performance
Wednesday 19 October, 5:30pm
at Pomeroy’s Old Brewery Inn, 292 Kilmore St
Sandy has some fascinating research to share. Buildings account for around 30% of a developed country’s greenhouse gas emissions. Improving energy efficiency of buildings is one of the quickest and most cost effective ways of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Sandy’s talk will outline the results of research carried out in Australia in 2009. The broad aims of the research are to identify methods to increase the uptake of sustainability practices that will help improve building performance and reduce GHG emissions.
Professor Sandy Bond is Senior Member of the Property Institute of New Zealand (SPINZ), a Past President of the Pacific Rim Real Estate Society (PRRES), and is the Secretary of the International Real Estate Society. She was awarded the Property Institute of NZ Academic Award in 2010 and the PRRES Achievement Award in 2002 for her significant contribution to property education and research. Before commencing her academic career in 1991 she worked as a valuer in both NZ and the UK.
