Some proposed project ideas include installations of solar electric and solar hot water demonstration systems on a student housing complex; assessment
of energy efficiency opportunities on a campus; installing energy metering to engage residents and building occupants in conservation; and construction of a small wind farm near campus that would generate electricity for the campus.
A goal would be to
model energy efficiency opportunities to figure out practical ways that customers can save electricity and money, and electric companies can curb the amount of megawatts that go onto the grid.
In a Santos media release about the subsidy for a new gas efficiency project in the Cooper Basin, Santos CEO Gallagher said, «If we can make even half that gas available to the market by
capturing energy efficiency opportunities, it would be an excellent outcome for both Australian domestic customers and our LNG exports.»
With the aging of buildings and deterioration of major components, a reality all condominium boards will eventually face, another session offered advice on how to prioritize repairs,
leverage energy efficiency opportunities and establish effective contract management.
