Heat Resilient Building Design. Beyond Energy Efficiency
$99.00 GST
An energy efficient building can still be dangerously hot in a heatwave. Those are different problems.
This one hour CPD course covers advanced strategies for heat resilient design, including urban heat islands and passive cooling, and how resilience differs from efficiency.

Description
This Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course explores advanced strategies for designing heat-resilient buildings, moving beyond traditional energy efficiency measures. Participants will gain insights into urban heat islands (UHIs), passive cooling techniques, material selection, shading systems, and enhanced ventilation approaches to mitigate extreme heat impacts.
The course also examines National Construction Code (NCC 2022) compliance, Whole-of-Home efficiency factors, and climate-responsive architecture tailored for Australian conditions. Through real-world case studies and best practices, architects, urban planners, engineers, and energy assessors will learn how to integrate long-term resilience planning into sustainable building design. This session equips professionals with the practical tools and regulatory knowledge necessary to future-proof projects against rising temperatures and climate change.
