The Innovation Hub for Affordable Heating and Cooling (i-Hub) and AIRAH are running a series of free webinars to provide updates on the current research and status of the projects that are under way.
This is the second Summit series in 2020.
Integrated Design Studios – Monday, November 30
The first webinar focuses on i-Hub’s Integrated Design Studios (IDS). It will provide an update on the IDS activity, look to the future, and include a Q&A discussion. The Integrated Design Studios involve HVAC&R engineers at the early stages of the building design process, and aim to facilitate collaborations with building owners and the design industry.
12.30–1.30pm (NSW, Vic, Tas, ACT) | 11.30am–12.30pm (Qld) | 12 noon–1pm (SA) | 11am–12 noon (NT) | 9.30–10.30am (WA)
Data Clearing House – Tuesday, December 1
The second webinar looks at i-Hub’s Smart Building Data Clearing House. The Data Clearing House delivers an open platform for sharing data relating to the operation of HVAC&R and renewable energy equipment.
12.30–1.30pm (NSW, Vic, Tas, ACT) | 11.30am–12.30pm (Qld) | 12 noon–1pm (SA) | 11am–12 noon (NT) | 9.30–10.30am (WA)
Living Laboratories – Wednesday, December 2
The third webinar focuses on i-Hub’s Living Laboratories. The Living Laboratories aim to test and validate innovative technologies in real-life building applications. The spaces will be highly instrumented and flexible, allowing a wide range of innovations to be investigated, from both energy and user-experience perspectives.
12.30–1.30pm (NSW, Vic, Tas, ACT) | 11.30am–12.30pm (Qld) | 12pm–1pm (SA) | 11am–12 noon (NT) | 9.30–10.30am (WA)

i-Hub is an initiative led by AIRAH in conjunction with CSIRO, Queensland University of Technology, the University of Melbourne and the University of Wollongong and supported by Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to facilitate the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC&R) industry’s transition to a low-emissions future, stimulate jobs growth, and showcase HVAC&R innovation in buildings.
The I-Hub project has received funding from ARENA as part of ARENA’s Advancing Renewables Program.
