@Science_Academy CEO Anna-Maria Arabia @ayyemm highlights the 'emerging shine coming from the moat' of the @ShineDome as she discusses the copper roof tiles currently being replaced, following January's #hailstorm that rocked Canberra #SustainableDome
@UniCanberra Professor of Architecture Michael Jasper highlights how the @ShineDome is just one of over 100 places on the National Heritage List. It was added to the list in 2005. Bondi Beach and Willandra Lakes in NSW are two other examples on the list.
Tai Hollingsbee National Building Engineering Leader @GHDspeaks: "the massive concrete slab you're sitting on is of great benefit to the building. It can store energy, it helps reduces energy consumption by controlling how the building modulates it's internal temperature"
@Science_Academy Prof Hans Bachor: "When we think #sustainability I like to think at least another 60 years for the building. We have to take into account in our design, the people. How can we put all the new technology in here and ensure it still looks as elegant & beautiful?"
Quantifying embodying energy in historic buildings is the focus of Dr Caroline Noller, Founder and CEO, The Footprint Company. She has worked on an embodied carbon evaluation of Sydney’s famous Sirius building. #SustainableDome

Rachel Jackson - GML Heritage & Canberra Modern, in discussing @Canberra heritage values quotes Paul Daley: ‘A strong sense of ‘otherness’ defines Canberra to a point of smugness that the rest of Australia can hate – but they’ll never know just how good it is to live here’.
Emma Gwynn, Heritage/Collections Manager at @MoAD_Canberra is sharing how environmentally sustainable heritage practices have been implemented at Old Parliament House, such as upgrading but retaining the original 1927 radiators which extended their life by 50yrs #SustainableDome
Susan Macdonald, Head, Buildings & Sites @GCIConservation: "Congratulations to the @Science_Academy. Good conservation outcomes rely on good stewards & it's always so fantastic when you have a building owner who really understands & embraces their role in stewarding a building."
Thank you to Prof Tracy Ireland, Director, Centre for Creative and Cultural Research @UniCanberra who has done a fantastic job MC-ing today. This is the first time the @Science_Academy has brought you a hybrid event, both in-house and online.
Prof. Jason Bainbridge, Executive Dean, Faculty of Arts & Design @UniCanberra in closing today's event: "The #sustainable management & #conservation of the @ShineDome is not without it's challenges. But equally what a brave & beautiful experiment I'm sure you'll agree it is."
We hope you enjoyed today's event. We are proud to be partnering with @UniCanberra @GHDspeaks and GML Heritage as we develop an innovative sustainability plan for the @ShineDome. Stay tuned for more updates as this plan comes to life! #SustainableDome
