ONLY 19 WEEKS to get your applications in!

Sustainability Victoria is offering funding to boost the performance of your commercial building of up to $30,000 per building through the Better Commercial Buildings program.

Who can benefit from the program?

We are calling for applications from commercial building owners, agents, tenants and facility managers in Victoria, keen to identify and implement energy efficiency upgrades that lead to an improvement in building performance. Commercial buildings can include offices, hotels, retail and data centres, and some mixed use buildings.

How do I know if my building needs an energy efficiency upgrade?

Some give-aways that you need to upgrade your building energy efficiency are:

  1. Your staff/tenants have their own heaters and desk fans to counteract changing temperatures in the building
  2. Staff/tenants complain about the temperature and comfort of the office
  3. You notice an increase in staff sick days year upon year
  4. You have difficulty securing a long term tenant
  5. Your building doesn’t already have a NABERS rating
