Net Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB): Industry Readiness and Case Examples
12pm-1pm

The global push towards developing Net Zero Buildings (NZEB) has already begun – but the definition of NZEB remains unclear to many within the property sector. Terms such as ‘zero carbon’, ‘net zero energy’ and ‘zero energy’ are used interchangeably and yet all provide a different outcome.

Several significant challenges exist to achieving NZEB status including; local climate, property sub-sector (e.g. commercial, residential), available technology, delivery method and cost.

Discover what net zero means and the different approaches to achieving this along with trends, challenges, strategies and industry drivers using real examples.

Optimising TVNZ’s Power Costs
1pm-2pm

Discover how TVNZ’s Auckland facility significantly reduced their power costs by integrating power quality reporting and energy management software into a centralized, real-time and user-friendly system.
