Dr Cat and Dr Mohammad Taha conduct a conversation about different materials for more sustainable buildings. Did you know that around 60% of energy used in buildings is used to control the temperature? Or that over three-quarters of Melbourne city’s energy demand could be supplied by solar if we were smarter about the placement and design of solar panels?

Dr Mohammad Taha is a multidisciplinary researcher at the University of Melbourne, bridging materials science, sustainability, and electronic engineering.
