Praise
'This is an important piece of work. It is exciting to see something that comprehensively looks at how buildings could move towards being zero carbon. The case studies and depth of research provide a clear road map for Australia's built environment.'
'Wow! What a wealth of practical information. This publication is so much more than a plan to revolutionise Australia's building stock: it should be compulsory reading for anyone who aspires to design, construct or operate buildings in Australia. BZE's recommendations deserve to be taken very seriously.'
