When a building gets older, oftentimes the obvious option is demolition. But what if there's a way to save it and preserve its history? How can that help increase energy efficiency and reduce emissions?In 2015, The University of Queensland and the TC Beirne School of Law agreed to refurbish the 1930s-constructed west wing of its Forgan Smith building.In the third episode of AIRAH on Air, host Mark Spencer presents a case study on retrofitting in the built environment.Guests:• Danni Roberts, M.AIRAH, Senior Mechanical Engineer at Aurecon• Phil Wilkinson, F.AIRAH, Executive Manager, Government Relations and Technical Services at AIRAHFor more information on the Forgan Smith retrofitting project, read Sean McGowan's article in the December 2018 issue of Ecolibrium - AIRAH's official journal: www.airah.org.au/EcoLibrium/2018/…cember_2018.aspxThank you for listening.
