Dr Paul Bannister: What’s next for energy efficient office buildings
Show Notes

On our latest podcast, our managing editor, Tina Perinotto, spoke with energy efficiency expert Dr Paul Bannister. 

Last year, the physicist was awarded the James Harrison Medal, which is the highest honour bestowed by AIRAH, Australia’s body for the HVAC industry.

Few people know more about energy efficient buildings than Dr Paul Bannister, who was one of the original architects behind the National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS).

Paul headed up his company Exergy for more than 15 years before it was absorbed into Energy Action. He is now director of innovation at Australian energy management consultancy DeltaQ. 

He’s now working on the next update to Section J, the sustainability component of the National Construction Code.
