Report opens the way to better insulation in buildings

The Energy Efficiency Council and Australian Sustainable Built Environment Council (ASBEC) are launching a research report to support an industry-led roadmap for healthy, comfortable buildings.

Last year, the Energy Efficiency Council and ASBEC developed a research report to support an industry-led roadmap for quality control and safety in the installation of insulation in Australian buildings. The project team consulted with industry, governments and other invested organisations to develop recommendations for governments and industry that will enable insulation to deliver comfortable, healthy buildings to Australians.

The report sets out the findings and recommendations of the project team to ensure that insulation is installed following appropriate quality-control and safety processes. These recommendations take into account considerable input from experts in a broad range of fields, including policy-makers, insulation manufacturers, insulation installers, the construction industry and experts in building design and sustainability.

The public launch of the report will take place on Wednesday, February 10 from 12.45–1.30pm AEDT. It will consist of a 30-minute presentation on the report followed by 15 minutes for Q&A. All interested individuals are invited to attend.
