Common Area Sustainability Assessments
The ClimateClever Apartments program is currently offering owners corporations a free common area sustainability assessment from environmental consultant agency, KMH Environmental. This offer is for a limited time only.
These assessments will help identify the apartment block carbon and water footprint for common areas as well as the potential cost effective measures to reduce energy and water consumption and increase the building’s overall sustainability profile.
Participants of the program will also receive a tailored report and action plan, including:
- Energy and water consumption analysis;
- Recommendations for reducing energy and water consumption and general impact on the environment;
- Passive design ideas;
- Sustainability considerations including waste and recycling, sustainable transport and communal gardens; and
- Options for funding.
Since its launch in January 2010, ClimateClever Apartments has provided 25 owners corporations of residential strata plans with common area sustainability assessments. As a result of these 25 assessments, a potential collective annual saving of 930,000 kilowatt hours of electricity or a total of $230,000 within the common areas has been identified. This results in a total collective carbon footprint reduction of 1,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.
If you are interested in your apartment block participating in this program, contact Council on email@willoughby.nsw.gov.au or 9777 1000 for further information.
