Prominent energy expert, inventor and White House advisor Saul Griffith joins us for a very special session where he discusses the future of home energy in Australia. In this Lean In session, Saul will share how architects can help clients cut emissions while saving homes money, and what the future of home and community infrastructure will look like. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and get to find out more about the work that Saul does in the energy sector here in Australia.
