During 1991/2 further projects were undertaken or commenced at schools plus a number of other premises including Fyshwick Offices and Workshops, Manuka and Civic Pools, TAFF. Colleges, Bennett House on Acton Peninsula, and the Homeworld offices of DELP. The approximate cost of these projects is $1 million and savings of approximately $0.5 million per annum are anticipated from these projects.
The Government plans to continue this program in coming years as it achieves worthwhile cost savings, provides a useful reduction in greenhouse gases and demonstrates leadership in energy and cost saving.
As already noted projects ate being selected to be undertaken so that priority is given to those which achieve maximum savings.
A range of equipment is being installed to achieve these savings, ranging from sophisticated computerised building management systems; to automatic lighting control systems, improved controls on building heating, ventilation and airconditioning systems, controls on hot water systems, provision of power factor correction equipment simple 50 minute lighting timers and changing to more economic energy tariffs.
