About IREE 2019

IMPROVING ENERGY EFFICIENCY IS NOW A GLOBAL CHALLENGE
​

Understanding the role that energy efficiency plays in the health and wellbeing of Australians is a complex challenge which requires the combined efforts of government agencies, energy providers and energy users. The inaugural conference in 2017 marked the first of its kind in Australia where the primary focus was on improving energy efficiency in Australian households and homes. The conference reported the findings of research and practice from a wide range of academics and practitioners. The 2019 conference extends this knowledge by looking at the nexus between energy, health and wellbeing.

 

This conference will benefit numerous audiences including energy, health and community sector providers, state and national government agencies involved in energy regulation and policy, and researchers in energy efficiency in general. The aim is to share best practice outcomes, determined from research efforts, which may inform future actions around energy efficiency and wellbeing.
