Commercial and the built environment

Pressure from tenants, shareholders, the community and governments to improve the built environments’ health and environmental impact is driving strong growth in ‘green buildings’, with particular focus on energy and water efficiency, and air quality. The Commercial Building Disclosure scheme is also creating urgency for implementing energy efficiency improvements in order to remain competitive in the property market.

The service provided by Andrew Krige was first rate. Assessment was delivered ahead of time and I was kept updated on progress. These guys were knowledgeable about the market and delivered the result they indicated may be possible given market conditions.

How Energetics can help?

Energetics works with the operators and owners of commercial office buildings, hotels, shopping centres and government operations to improve their building’s energy and water efficiency. We help our clients achieve competitive advantage through strategic project identification, program management, implementation and ongoing monitoring, reporting and advisory services.

We can help you achieve energy and cost savings through:

  • energy auditing to understand energy consumption data (kWh) and identify opportunities for energy efficiency improvements and peak load demand management across sites, buildings, tenancies, activity areas, etc.
  • conducting energy assessments and reporting (Energy Efficiency Opportunities and Assessment and Reporting Schedule), streamlining reporting requirements, and preparations for external audit and verification
  • NABERS assessments: our accredited assessors can certify your next retrofit to achieve eligibility for the Tax Breaks for Green Buildings program and assess office space of more than 2000 sqm for the Building Energy Efficiency Certificates (BEEC)
  • development of strategies to prioritise the implementation of identified savings across a portfolio of opportunities using tools such as abatement curves to maximise the organisational benefits
  • business case development for funding and financing of energy efficiency improvements through various schemes: Energy Savings Scheme (ESS), Energy Upgrade Agreement, Energy Performance Contracting and treasury loans
  • business case development and financial modelling to provide understanding of the value attributed to the identified opportunities. In many cases this will incorporate additional funding and financing of energy efficiency improvements through various schemes: Energy Savings Scheme (ESS), Energy Upgrade Agreement, and treasury loans and other grants, funding and tax breaks
  • implementing energy and carbon management solutions to maximise the performance of new or existing sites, such as renewable onsite power generation, energy-efficient lighting and hot water systems, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC), water capture, saving and storage systems
  • energy modelling for proposed and existing buildings to predict energy consumption over the life of a building
  • monitoring retrofit performance though our proven measurement and verification methodology using Australia’s largest team of professionals accredited to the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP)
  • facilitating innovative contracting such as leasing and Energy Performance Contracting  to ensure capital investment for Energy Conservation Measures is recouped through utility bill savings that result from the project
