Guest speaker Jack Blackwell, zero carbon buildings officer at the City of Melbourne, outlined the city’s sustainability ambitions, while James Moyes, chair of the CIBSE Victoria Chapter, spoke on the CIBSE Presidential theme of paying it forward.

He said: ‘Every hour, every idea, every act of generosity strengthens our profession and leaves a legacy
for future generations.’
