Energy Efficiency and Water Saving in Non-Residential Building, 2007/8

In March 2008 we published a new study of Energy Efficiency and Water Saving in Non-Residential Building.  This research and forecasting report updates the study we produced in 2005 and the regular reports that we produce covering energy efficiency and water saving in residential applications.

Methodology
In November and December 2007, we surveyed 347 non-residential builders about their projects in the last financial year.  We covered all states, apart from the NT and Tasmania, and non-residential building categories as follows: offices, shops/retail centres, hotels/motels, other business premises, factories, educational, health, religious, entertainment and recreation, and miscellaneous.  We covered four project value ranges to obtain a representative sample of different project types and values.  This sample was weighted to the total value of commencements and represented 20-25% of the value of non-residential projects undertaken in Australia during the relevant time period.
 
Scope
Our report includes the following data:
  •  Rainwater tanks installed, Australia and by state, 2006/07

  • Other water saving devices installed, Australia and by state, 2006/07
  • Other water saving devices installed by type of non-residential building, 2006/07
  • Reasons for installation of water saving devices, by state and building type
  • Energy efficient products installed, Australia and by state, 2006/07
  • Energy efficient products installed by type of non-residential buiding
  • Reasons for installation of energy efficient products, by state and product type
  • Sources of advice utilised for installation of energy efficient products and water saving devices
  • Proactivity in the use of energy efficient products and water saving devices
  • Past and future trends in the installation of energy efficient products and water saving devices
  • Attitudes towards government regulation of energy efficient products and water saving devices
