The research group thanks the Australian Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources for funding this project entitled 鈥淓nergy Efficiency Training and Information鈥. The researchers thankfully acknowledge the property owners and facility managers who kindly provided the building documentation and data on the case study buildings. The research team also thanks NABERS for the kind collaboration, facilitating contacts with facility managers of rated buildings.
This project tackles the operational energy consumption challenge for existing buildings, using a real-life case study to visualise the impact of each energy optimisation strategy.
12 case studies from 9 building types are selected as case study to explore opportunities to reduce energy consumption. Several of these buildings are already being retrofitted, and their performance has improved recently.
