Benefits to the Community Sector
The Climate Change Readiness for Community Services project presents several benefits for the community service sector.
All organisations who take part in the project benefit from:
- A full energy Audit assessment and comprehensive written report
- Tools and skills that support the behavioural education for their staff to reduce energy wasting habits and ensure that any retrofits have the maximum benefit.
- Retrofitting aimed at decreasing the consumption of energy used throughout the organisations’ premises, resulting in smaller energy bills and less greenhouse pollution.
These efficiency measures will insulate organisations from the continued rise in energy tariffs and expected cost increases due to the introduction an Emissions Trading Scheme or Carbon Tax.
Increasing energy efficiency will also place organisations in a better position to respond to future measures aimed to improving sustainability.
