With Professor Ross Garnaut's release of the Final Report of his Climate Change Review on September 30, 2008 the Rudd Government now has a recommendation of a 5% emissions reduction target by 2020 leading to a 60% reduction by 2050. The consequences of this will be significant increases in electricity and associated costs for property owners and occupiers.
These cost increases have come about in a situation of strong public support for environmental management aimed at reducing greenhouse gasses and our adverse environmental impact. As a result there are now strong financial, corporate responsibility and consumer awareness drivers to address the environmental impact of your properties.
At SGA we can help you address tenancies, base building or whole of building environmental management initiatives via:
- NABERS Energy
- NABERS Water
- NABERS Waste
- NABERS Indoor Environment
Using tools such as NABERS we can work with you to not just understand where your property's environmental and energy impact is, but with our extensive expertise we can help you address this impact in the short term.
In addition we can support implementation and help alleviate cost barriers by developing more effective Capital Works plans to incorporate environmental impact reduction strategies over the near term.
Should you wish to talk to SGA Property Consultancy about arranging an evaluation of your environmental impact or planning to reduce this impact, or any of our other services, please contact any of offices below.
