RMIT University is a global university of technology and design, focused on creating solutions that transform the future for the benefit of people and their environments. One of Australia’s original educational institutions, RMIT has forged an international reputation for excellence in professional and vocational education and high quality outcome- oriented research. RMIT provides an urban experience and is actively engaged with industry and the community. The University has three campuses in Melbourne—in the central business district, and in Brunswick and Bundoora in the city’s northern suburbs—and two campuses in Vietnam—in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. We also have a centre in Barcelona, Spain. In addition, we offer programs through partners in Singapore, Hong Kong, mainland China, Malaysia, Indonesia and Europe. A broad and innovative research profile, industry-relevant learning, extensive services and facilities, and wide-ranging student mobility opportunities are just some of the reasons students choose to study at RMIT. Our programs maintain currency and relevance thanks to the University’s teaching and research connections with industry, community partners and leading universities on every continent. For postgraduate students, this means the opportunity for involvement in student placements and collaborative research projects with industry, as well as industry guest lecturers and the involvement of practitioners in teaching. Collaborating with industry globally to provide solutions and innovations that deliver real outcomes is an integral part of RMIT’s teaching, learning and research. RMIT connects graduates with the world, readying them for employment and active participation in global communities. As a result, RMIT graduates possess a broad knowledge base, industry-honed skills and the ability to think critically and creatively. This gives them a competitive edge when entering the international job market. We look forward to welcoming you to our diverse and vibrant community of students.

Stu- dent volunteers completed over 1,000 hours of accredited service this quarter, with over 70 new volunteers joining our James Michelmore team. This quarter also saw RUSU add two new training opportunities and a camp to the volunteer program. Funding has been secured for the continuation and expansion of the volunteer program in 2014, with a focus on improved professional development opportunities. Three RMIT students have also joined the RUSU team at Bundoora to complete placements as part of their studies. Almost 20,000 free lunches were handed out to students this quarter. The addition of free fresh fruit to many of our weekly events has been welcomed by students across the University. Over 8,000 pieces of fruit and hundreds of healthy cookbooks have been given away to students as part of our Healthy Eating Program. A number of new student clubs joined RUSU’s ranks this quarter as almost $25,000 in grants were distributed to support student activities on and off campus. Student rights cases continue to be an area of growth; up over 50% on last quarter, with the number of new cases opened already surpassing last year’s total. The depart- ment continues to focus on concerns about the University’s proposed ‘Fitness For Study’ policies as part of the proposed changes to the Student Conduct Regulation.

This conference aims to provide a platform for dis- cussing building energy and environmental issues and for initiating collaboration among researchers, environmental scientists, architects, facility managers, and policy makers. In COBEE 2018, we received over 350 abstract submissions. With the help of inter- national scientific committee through a careful review process, around 200 full papers have been selected and included in the conference proceedings. We thank for your great contribution and professionalism to consider review comments which help significantly improve the quality of papers included in this proceeding. Some of high quality papers will be invited to submit for a further review process and will be selected for publication in topical/special issues in Building and En- vironment Journal, Energy and Building journal, Science and Technology for the Built Environment (STBE), and Journal of Computational Multiphase Flows. The COBEE 2018 conference will be held in beautiful Melbourne, Australia. Mel- bourne, the most liveable city, for sixth consecutive year, is a vibrant and exciting city with access to hundreds of outdoor recreation activities, fantastic dining op- tions, and an involved and passionate local community that is dedicated to the responsible and effective use of renewable energy and green building practices.

    rmit university student union: second quarter report ░ reporting period: 1 april 2015 – 30 june 2015 su.rmit.edu.au rusupage rmitsu rmitsu rusuonline ░ president's report Second quarter. Autumnal hues become the defining feature of Melbourne. Clothing begins to be layered, and the serious business of study gets underway. With the carefree summer months in the rear-view mirror, RUSU has carried through the momentum from a great start to 2015 through this reporting period. Himasha We held our first external event for FONSEKA Bundoora students for some time, being a Good Friday Eve party. We held a successful boat cruise in April, hosted Music Week in Alumni Courtyard and our end of exams party in June proved as popular as any in recent memory. The New Academic Street project continues to loom as a disruption to our activities and the broader student body, and we remain in constant contact with the University to work through this period. Our growth in financial membership remains encouraging, with our 2015 target almost reached by the halfway stage of the year. This result will allow RUSU to continue to deliver a great suite of programs and activities for the benefit of our members. In mid-May, we conducted our annual general meeting, as required under the relevant legislation. We used this process as an opportunity to update some of our departmental branding. We found that some our of departments had somewhat dated naming conventions. I am pleased to say that these changes were passed unanimously, and details of this can be found in these pages.
