Improving residential energy Efficiency: Three State approaches

April 20, 2022

Improving residential energy efficiency. Although a short sentence is a tall order, requiring solutions at every level. In our upcoming webcasts we’re hearing three states policies, challenges and solutions. So join us Wednesday May 4th at 12.30 to hear about:

  • Victorian Government energy and climate change policy
  • The challenges and potential solutions for improving the energy efficiency of public housing in WA.
  • A demonstration of a new version of the BASIX online tool that supports the BASIX standard updates.
