Grants up to $150k for office building owners in Victoria

Ausnviro491

The state of Victoria has just thrown commercial office owners a juicy bone.

$3.59 million to improve building efficiency in Victoria.

Whats the deal?

SV kicks in 50% of the cost of up to $150,000 (300k total spend) to carry out the following activities:

  • Opportunities Analysis – provides an opportunities report on the current energy efficiency of building systems such as lighting, lifts, and heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems and identifies opportunities for improvement.
  • Building tuning – delivers simple, cost-effective energy efficiency building upgrades through tuning of building services and operations. This will identify and correct building system problems to maintain optimal building performance.
  • Monitoring – implements metering and monitoring to enable an evaluation of building performance for the 12 month period following building tuning, in order to measure the effectiveness and cost savings achieved through the building tuning upgrades.

Why bother?

SV is essentially giving building owners free cash to help them save more cash, make their buildings more energy efficient while helping build the intrinsic value of their asset. – its a no brainier.

Who should have a crack?

Remember how all the GBF money was pretty much swallowed up by all the major property funds?

Well… everyone else… now is your chance to get started making your building more energy efficient with the right advice at half the cost.
