Vertical Schools | Sustainability in practice

Vertical schools are an emerging trend in Australia, exemplified by the award-winning Wurun Campus in Victoria. Despite their growing popularity, these schools face challenges such as limited space, higher costs, and energy inefficiency.

In the second webinar in our Vertical School series our Sustainability leaders, Shane Esmore, National Lead for Sustainability in Property & Buildings, and Huia Adkins, Sustainability Business Group Leader WA and Technical Director - Circular Economy, will explore strategies for enhancing the sustainability of vertical schools, recognising sustainable performance, and creating a lasting impact on these buildings' lifecycles and achieving better.

You will gain valuable insights into achieving better student outcomes and reducing energy, operational costs, and carbon impacts in vertical schools. Key takeaways will include:

• Design principles for incorporating passive design measure that leverage the inherent advantages of vertical schools.
   
• Designing with circularity in mind across all life cycle stages
• Strategies for energy-efficient school design.
• Applying sustainable certification rating schemes
• Measures to enhance the lifecycle of materials during and beyond your project.
