The primary theme of DBI2024 revolves around decarbonising the building industry. The conference will delve into the challenges and opportunities in reducing embodied emissions – the carbon footprint of materials and construction processes. It will also address strategies for decreasing operational emissions from existing and new buildings. Through a blend of scientific insights and practical case studies, the conference will highlight innovative approaches and technologies essential for transforming the energy performance of residential and commercial buildings, both in Australia and globally.

The Buildings Energy Performance Summit 2024 (BEPS24) is a one-day, in-person conference on Tuesday 19 November in Melbourne.

The Summit will bring together industry, policymakers, researchers and other experts to discuss and debate the policies and technologies we can leverage to catalyse this ‘renovation wave’ in Australia’s existing building stock. It has been scheduled to coincide with an Executive Committee meeting of the International Energy Agency’s Energy in Building and Communities (IEA EBC) Programme in Melbourne, to leverage the significant international expertise that will be in Australia at the time.

The Industrial Decarbonisation Summit examines Australia’s
emissions reduction targets, the pathway forward for industry,
and how Australian businesses can chart a course to a
prosperous net zero future.

The Summit will be the place for energy users to come together
with energy management service and technology providers and
discuss this future. Incorporating both big picture plenaries and
in depth workshops, the Summit will bring together Australia’s
leading experts on emissions reduction in industry, including the:

• Manufacturers and food processors leading the charge on
  decarbonisation;
• Technical experts that support industry to manage energy
  and carbon;
• Policymakers shaping emissions reduction policies and
  incentives; and
• Researchers, think tanks and peak bodies mapping the
  emissions reduction pathways for Australian industry.

With the right people in the room, the Summit will help
build momentum we need for renewed focus and effort on
industrial decarbonisation.
