Sustainability through resource efficiency
The government leads by example to reduce its own environmental impact through improved resource efficiency.
We can help government agencies improve their resource efficiency, reduce operations costs and become more sustainable. We do this by supporting government agencies to undertake resource efficient initiatives that help agencies save money and reduce emissions.
How we can help
We have a team of experts who can support you with:
- advice on the design, delivery and financing of sustainability projects
- sustainability thinking and leadership in your organisation
- building a business case for your project
- advice on your strategic planning
- guidance on how to get solar on your buildings
- access to low-interest loans
- understanding the Government Resource Efficiency Policy (GREP)
- access to the online tools for reporting on your agency’s resource efficiency.
The Northern NSW Local Health District made around $800,000 worth of energy savings across six hospitals. The project included upgrading lights and building management systems and implementing water conservation measures.
The Sydney Harbour Bridge replaced many of their lights with new 200W LED lamps with an expected annual saving of $2000.
The Australian Museum’s Crystal Hall project included sustainable features which exceeded minimum building standards. These included a 12.5 kW solar PV system to power most of the building and a chilled/heated floor that means the hall is now naturally ventilated for most of the year.
