Over the last 20 years sustainability has been a massive driver for developments in building services engineering, in Australia this has been, at least in part, driven by the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) and their Green Star tools. As we move towards a zero carbon future we will increasingly rely on how to assess building sustainability and how we can support those that will create this change. This month Talking Buildings sits down with Romilly Madew of the GBCA to discuss what drives her focus on sustainability, what the future holds as she moves into her new role at Infrastructure Australia and what advice she would give to the next generation of sustainability professionals.Madew has led the Green Building Council of Australia since 2006 and has been an integral figure in Australia’s sustainable building movement. She is recognised globally as a leader in the construction industry and is an experienced CEO in strategy, governance and policy development as demonstrated by her recently announced appointment as CEO of Infrastructure Australia. As perhaps the busiest person in the building sector she is a member of the federal government’s Cities Reference Group, former Deputy President and Member of the Executive Committee of the Australian Sustainable Built Environment Council, Independent Chair of the Currawong State Park Advisory Board, a member of the Sydney Olympic Park Authority; Chief Executive Women; and Surf Life Saving Foundation boards and President Bilgola Surf Life Saving Club.
