most cost-effective opportunities.

2. MUNICIPAL POLICY


Barriers and enablers

Regulation:

Building Energy Efficiency Disclosure Act 2010 (Australian Government)

Corporate sector attitudes:

Tenants want ‘green’ buildings

understand energy efficiency provides financial returns

Accept Efficiency standards & mandatory disclosure

understand can get significant gains for a small investment

Non-corporate sector:

poor communication between owners, tenants and managers ( except Owners Corporations)

Retrofitting not relevant to them

Concerns about poor ratings

Believe it will be costly

insufficient time to manage

Preoccupied with cost management

2. MUNICIPAL POLICY


3. RETROFIT EXISTING STOCK - 1200 BUILDINGS

Benefits of retrofitting

Obstacles to retrofitting

Best opportunities for retrofitting

The 1200 Buildings program

Regulated disclosure of energy performance


3. RETROFIT EXISTING

Benefits of retrofitting

Owners:

Lower running costs

Reduce risk of obsolescence

Improved reputation

Tenant retention

Increased access to capital

State economy:

$2 billion investment

8,000 jobs( over 10 years)

Size (1000 m2) Heritage stock



Obstacles to retrofitting

1.Access to finance

2. Split owner/tenant incentives

3. Regulatory barriers to utilising other energy sources – CHP, solar, wind.

4. Building systems Industry skills and capacity



1200 Buildings support

for owners:

Case studies

Products & services register with Industry Capability Network

Building Upgrade Tool

Seminars and training

Link to heritage restoration assistance

Access to low cost finance



Environmental Upgrade Finance

Conditions

Only within municipality on rateable land

Owner/tenant agreement option

works must stay with building


Low interest bank loans.

Municipality applies property charges to repay loans


Support for tenants (Cityswitch)

National program – Sydney, Melbourne Adelaide, Perth and other regional cites.

commit to achieve a 4-stars Energy tenancy rating report progress annually

Benchmark Energy tenancy rating

Appoint an Energy Manager

Implement Energy Action Plan

Request Energy base building rating

Promote energy efficiency to staff & clients



1200 Buildings Program

1. Engage and educate

2. Support with policy

3. Increase access to finance

4. Promote success

60 registered to date

160 buildings are currently retrofitting (10% of Melbourne’s building stock)

NEW STOCK

Industry standards converted to minimum standards

Planning Controls

1.Coordinated set of minimum standards and assessment

2.Linked to industry ratings and assessment tools.

3.Selected rating tool for type and scale of building & ability to meet targets.

4.industry acceptance.

5.ease of use in approvals.

6.All uses commercial, retail, residential, educational.

Develop building industry best practice

Regulate minimum standards

4. NEW STOCK


LOCAL CHP

COMBINED HEAT AND POWER (CHP) HUBS

Understand the business model

Regulate to enable deployment

Remove Regulation barriers from privatisation


LOCAL CHP

Build CHP hubs in Intensive mixed use
