The CBD Program mandates the disclosure of energy and emissions information for certain building types to improve their energy performance. This webinar will provide AIRAH members with an overview of the major changes the government is considering, including capturing more building types and sizes, changing the frequency of disclosure, and reviewing what information should be disclosed. Be part of the discussion to help transition Australia’s building stock to net-zero.
