90 buildings share in $35.2 million to upgrade and reduce greenhouse gas emissionthough the Green Building Fund.
The buildings that will be transformed include hotels, shopping centres and office blocks. The upgrades will reduce the buildings’ greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 118,000 tonnes a year.
The fit-outs the companies will undertake may include new state-of-the-art heating and air conditioning systems, smart room controllers (for hotel guest rooms), energy efficient lighting systems and building energy management systems. These improvements will significantly reduce energy, saving the environment and saving money for the business owner.”
The Green Building Fund began in 2008 and was expanded in 2010 to include existing hotels and shopping centres. This expansion saw the Innovation Department receive a 32 per cent increase in applications to the fund – an unprecedented 261 applications were received for this round of funding.
The Green Building Fund has now generated total expected emission savings of almost 300,000 tonnes per year – an outstanding result.
