Improving Density, Energy and Cost Performance, CoreNet Global Canberra Breakfast Forum
17th November 2009
Is it possible to improve density and simultaneously reduce costs and energy consumption?
Cost reduction has long been a focus of corporate real estate (CRE) and workplace professionals. More recently, energy consumption has become almost as big a focus as energy consumed by an organisation's workspace - many organisations' largest contribution to global greenhouse gases.
With the renewed focus of the Federal Government on density and density targets, how can you achieve one without impacting on the other areas?
As part of its support to the running of the CoreNet Networking Group in Canberra, Grosvenor has put together a forum involving an expert panel and presentation of a practical example from Hewlett-Packard Australia and their new facilities and workplace initiative in Melbourne.

Grosvenor is a gold sponsor for AES International Conference to be held in Canberra 31st August – 4th September 2009. Susan Garner, Managing Consultant, is the conference convenor.
The 2009 conference theme is 'Evidence and Evaluation'. This theme encompasses several of the key issues in evaluation, such as what constitutes credible evidence, how much evidence is enough, and evidence for the usefulness of evaluation. This theme also reflects an increasing emphasis by governments on evidence-based policy.
The conference program will focus more specifically on three sub-themes:
- Gathering Evidence
- Using Evidence
- Evidence and Stakeholders
Industry streams covered under these sub-themes include health, environment, education, international development, social and community programs, and corporate and performance measurement.
