Summary There is hope! Since Al Gore disclosed the inconvenient truth, the climate has changed. The time of denial is over; the era of well-informed action and sound development is with us. Sustainability has now moved from the fringe, into the mainstream of politics, society, architecture and building practice. In this new context architectural science will contribute to two main tasks: prevent further damage to our environment, and respond to challenges invoked by climate change. The built environment and human activity within it account for a large part of the problem. Architectural science and architectural practice are part of the solution. The ANZAScA 2007 conference focuses on the solutions architectural science has to offer toward a liveable future through the following generic themes: progress – the evaluation and improvement of built facilities, new and existing, in terms of energy intensity, financial reward and environmental impact. practice – the relationship between our cultural heritage, new facility design, retrofit design and its realisation through construction. performance – the connection between building operation targets, validation of performance, and user comfort and interaction in new and existing environments. people – the effect of space on user behaviour, user responsibility and social wealth. In response to this challenge, architectural science researchers including students, educators, and practitioners at ANZAScA 2007, present a broad range of research activity and concern within the built environment from global issues down to the specific actions of individuals.
