Home Events Sub Standard – Lifting Australian building quality Sub Standard – Lifting Australian building quality webinar On Demand now available Sub Standard – Lifting Australian building quality Environmental performance standards of Australian housing are considerably weaker than international counterparts, which means householders suffer from high energy costs, poorer health and greater financial stress. What will it take to develop fit-for-purpose housing standards policy in Australia? This webinar explored new AHURI research findings on which policy options have potential to make the difference. Discussion looked at the role a national strategy could play, and some of the mechanisms it could include, such as improved performance standards for new homes; mandatory energy performance disclosures; independent building compliance and enforcement processes; minimum standards for rental properties; and more. Facilitator Dr Michael Fotheringham discussed the findings of new AHURI research with research author Dr Lyrian Daniel of University of South Australia and Gary Rake from the Australian Building Codes Board.
