Architecture doesn't end at practical completion. Day Two of ArcCPD Live follows a building into the years — even decades — after handover: how it performs, who it serves, what it stands for, and how it's cared for. Four presenters, four responsibilities that outlast the build itself — Innovation → Inclusion → Culture → Stewardship.

Date: Thursday 27 August 2026
Time: 9am – 3pm AEST
Where: Online (via Zoom)
CPD Points: 5 Formal points for Day 2

Buildings Beyond Completion

Where Day One traced a project's journey from place to landscape, Day Two shifts focus to responsibility — the long-term obligations design carries once the building is in use.

Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV): Product Potential, Benefits and Deployment

The future of building performance starts with rethinking what a surface can do. ClearVue Technologies opens Day Two with building-integrated photovoltaics — innovation that turns the building envelope itself into part of the energy solution.

We asked Doug Hunt, CEO and Managing Director of ClearVue, why this topic is particularly relevant to architects and specifiers right now. Here's what he had to say:

Net zero is no longer a future ambition, buildings are under pressure to perform, Doug says. BIPV gives architects a practical way to contribute to that goal from within the building envelope itself. ClearVue's products generate renewable energy while improving thermal performance, reducing solar heat gain and lowering the building's overall energy demand. That combination is increasingly what clients, rating tools and regulation are asking for.

It's a shift from treating sustainability as an add-on to building it into the fabric of the design itself. For specifiers, BIPV reframes the envelope as a performance asset rather than just a boundary, one that's doing double duty on energy generation and thermal comfort at once.

Introduction to Disability Handrails

A building only truly performs when everyone can use it. Moddex looks at the specification detail behind accessible design — handrails that meet compliance while genuinely serving every occupant.

We asked Gavin Pedersen, Product and Technical Specification Specialist at Moddex, why this topic is particularly relevant to architects and specifiers right now.

With increasing attention on disabled access to public buildings, recreational areas etc, it's more important than ever to have correct specification and interpretation of the National Codes and the Australian Standards at design stage, Gavin says.

Handrails sit at the sharp end of that intersection between code compliance and lived experience. Getting the specification right at design stage isn't just a box-ticking exercise, it's what determines whether accessible design actually works for the people relying on it.

11:30am AEST | Felton Industries

Caring for Country, Authentically: Co-designing Civic Furniture that Teaches, Connects & Endures

Design that endures is design that connects — with community, and with Country. Felton Industries explores co-designing outdoor environments that respect culture, include everyone, and endure in the public realm.

12:45pm AEST | Hart Australia

Roof Plant Platforms: Compliance, Materials & Specification

Long after the ribbon is cut, someone has to maintain what's been built. Hart Australia closes Day Two with the long-term safety and stewardship considerations behind roof plant platforms — compliance and materials that protect the people who service a building for its entire life.

Why This Matters

Architecture doesn't end at practical completion. Great design considers the people, communities and environments our buildings will serve for decades to come — and Day Two of ArcCPD Live is built around exactly that responsibility.

ArcCPD Live isn't just a webinar series — it's a curated learning experience that reflects The Arc Agency's purpose of connecting architects with people, products and ideas through meaningful education.
