Most of the carbon emissions in our local area come from buildings. And more than 80% of our residents live in apartments.
Through working with 269 local apartment blocks, we’ve found they can easily cut bills by one-third thanks to low or no-cost solutions.
Realising the economic, social and environmental benefits, more and more building managers and savvy apartment owners are keen to upgrade their properties. We’re all striving for net zero emissions.
We heard it can be difficult to find neat summaries of basic information tailored to apartment buildings. So, we created the following 3 guides.
Energy guide
Learn how to rate your building’s performance, develop an energy action plan, monitor energy use, the benefits of sub-meters, install a solar system and go all electric. Discover how Aquilon, a building in Camperdown, reduced its electricity use by 60%.
Water guide
Uncover tips for saving water and how Sydney Water’s WaterFix Strata program works. See how 2 apartment buildings in the inner city cut water bills by as much as $64,000 a year and reduced energy bills by as much as $40,000 a year.
Waste guide
Find out about waste collection services for food scraps, bulky goods, and tricky items. Learn tips for setting up bin rooms and signs. And see how other apartments have created nifty recycling and reuse rooms.

We’d love to help your building reach net zero emissions.
