The commercial building sector is responsible for the majority of greenhouse gas emissions in the City of Melbourne, accounting for 48 per cent of total greenhouse gas emissions across the municipality. While regulations now require major new office buildings to meet minimum sustainability standards, new buildings represent only a small proportion of all buildings in the municipality. The majority of the municipality’s commercial buildings are existing buildings.
If 1200 existing commercial buildings are retrofitted to improve energy performance by 38 per cent, the potential for greenhouse gas mitigation is 383,000 tonnes of CO2 per annum. This substantial improvement in energy efficiency will benefit building owners, the industry and the wider community.
