2016 NOVEMBER RM 62 04 OCTOBER AUGUST X 2O P MAY Launch of the report Low Carbon, High Performance - How buildings can make a major contribution to Australia’s emissions and productivity goals, Presented to Victorian Government’s Energy Efficiency and Energy Productivity Summit on building energy efficiency RT 09 28 Australian Building Code Board collaborated with ClimateWorks and ASBEC to facilitate the upgrade of energy efficiency measures in the national building code • Property Council of Australia and Green Building Council of Australia have based their policies on our recommendations, ahead of 2016 Federal Election • Multiple government stakeholders have requested briefings, as have a range of key corporate and industry stakeholders, including the Investor Group on Climate Change and Australian Alliance to Save Energy Z 40 RH Led a collaborative project involving several Indonesian stakeholders and the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network and funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, to improve energy efficiency in commercial buildings across Australia and Indonesia ClimateWorks included in the Victorian Government’s Energy Efficiency and Energy Productivity Roadmap workgroup on minimum building standards to improve energy efficiency prepared for the Australian Sustainable Built Environment Council (ASBEC). It highlights that even without technological breakthroughs, cost-effective energy efficiency can reduce projected 2050 emissions from buildings by more than half and adding renewables can take emissions to net zero. This report has quickly become an industry benchmark, extensively referenced in industry publications and contributing to these impacts: 29
