GBCA – Highly Energy Efficient Buildings Masterclass

Leveraging Data and Automation to Drive Smarter Energy Outcomes

Date: Tuesday 16 September 2025

Time: 12:30 PM – 4:30 PM AEST
Location: Online (hosted by Green Building Council of Australia)
Organized by: Green Building Council of Australia
Bueno Speaker: Haibo Chen, Head of Global Services

Event Overview

As the energy grid continues to decarbonize, the pressure on buildings to deliver smarter, more efficient performance intensifies. This masterclass hosted by the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) brings together technical experts, designers, engineers, and digital innovators to explore the critical strategies driving energy efficiency in high-performance buildings.

With sessions covering enclosure commissioning, case studies from landmark assets like 6–8 Parramatta Square and Civic Quarter 1, and emerging approaches to design-phase optimization, the agenda provides an in-depth look at what’s working in the market—and where we go next.

Bueno Presentation: 1:45 PM

Topic: Digital Foundations – Leveraging Technology and Automation to Drive Energy Efficiency
Speaker: Haibo Chen, Head of Global Services, Bueno Analytics

In this session, Haibo will break down how analytics, automation, and IoT can transform fragmented building data into actionable insights. Drawing on practical deployment examples, Haibo will show how organizations can achieve measurable energy savings and stronger operational outcomes—without needing to wait for major retrofit works.
