The guide provides an overview of the basic concepts and elements of Green Leasing, to assist private tenants to achieve better environmental outcomes from the leasing and on-going management of their office space.

The Green Lease Handbook complements the Tenant's Guide and contains more detailed legal and technical information.

Evaluation of whether the new 5-star standard was achieving its goals as analysed in the 2006 Regulatory Impact Statement.

This study investigated new house construction around Australia to gain insight into the quality of house construction with regard to the energy efficiency aspects of air‐tightness and quality of installation of insulation and heating/cooling ductwork and involved recruiting 20 houses in each capital city around Australia (Darwin was not included).

It followed concerns raised that the energy efficiency features of houses that are required to achieve the minimum energy efficiency standards in the National Construction Code (NCC) (Australian Building Codes Board, 2015) were not delivering assessed benefits For example where insulation and weather sealing is poorly installed by builders houses will have lower energy efficiency performance than expected. This filled a gaps in research with little data previously collected on newly built houses to quantify air‐tightness and assess the quality of installation of insulation and heating/cooling ductwork.

This report was commissioned by the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science as an input to Measure 31 in the National Energy Productivity Plan, 'Advancing the National Construction Code'.

This report was commissioned by the Department of the Environment and Energy who have managed the project on behalf all Australian jurisdictions under Measure 31.2 of the National Energy Productivity Plan.

집주인만 에너지와 물을 절약함으로써 혜택을 누릴 수 있는 것은 아닙니다. 호주 국민의 1/3 가까이가 임대 주택에 살고 있으며 이러한 임대 주택에서는 변경할 수 있는 부분에 한계가 있습니다. 태양열 집열판과 빗물통은 설치할 수 없지만, 공과금과 환경에 미치는 영향을 줄일 수 있는 방법은 있습니다. 실제로 에너지와 물을 절약하기 위해 실천할 수 있는 가장 효과적인 방법 중에는 추가 비용이 전혀 들지 않고 일상 생활 습관에 주는 작은 변화에 초점을 둔 방법들이 있습니다. 

단기든 장기든 임차하고 있는 경우에 간단하고 저렴한 방법으로 에너지와 물 사용을 줄이면서 편안함이나 생활 방식을 포기하지 않고도 연간 수 백 달러를 절약할 수가 있습니다.

에너지 절약 방법

에너지 효율(효율적인 에너지 소비라고도 함)이란 같은 수준의 성능에 편안함과 편리함을 유지하면서 보다 적은 양의 에너지를 소비하는 것을 말합니다. 다음과 같은 실용적인 방법으로 가정에서 사용하는 에너지와 공과금을 절감해 보세요.
