The Buildings You Design Today Will Face a Climate That Doesn’t Exist Yet.

The rules are shifting. Energy codes are tightening. Material expectations are rising. And the gap between modelled performance and real-world outcomes is getting harder to ignore. The ISEE Summit 2026 brings together 38 of the world’s leading researchers, practitioners, and innovators for a single day of focused, practical sessions designed to give you the knowledge you need to design buildings that actually perform, today and twenty years from now. No fluff. No sales pitches. Just the science, the data, and the strategies that are changing how buildings are designed and built.

Australia’s next phase of emissions reduction will be harder, faster and more complex than ever. With a 2035 target of 62–70% below 2005 levels, nearly half of the remaining task must be delivered in just five years. There is no credible pathway without dramatically accelerating energy efficiency, electrification and flexible energy use across homes, businesses and energy systems.

That’s why the EEC National Conference 2026 matters. Taking place in Sydney on 27–28 May 2026, the conference puts the demand side firmly in the spotlight—focusing on what must happen next and how we turn ambition into action.

Michael Liebreich, founder of Bloomberg New Energy Finance, will be there as keynote speaker. With decades of experience analysing the clean energy economy and advancing electrification worldwide, he’ll share global trends, lessons from international leaders, and practical insights to accelerate Australia’s electrification and deliver real‑world outcomes.

From efficient electric homes to productive net-zero businesses and optimised energy systems, this is where leaders connect, collaborate and accelerate action.

We’re proud to be a partner on the Conference and we would love to see you there.
