lighting, fans, VSD’s and so on. A little difficult to deem accurately but should be included as significant efficiencies can be gained.
Peak demand –
some activities like cooling, have a reasonable correlation to Peak demand and could be further supported using a simple multiplier to reflect the added value of efficiency in peak times. Ie Air Conditioning.
Project Based Methodologies:
align with NSW.
Setting priorities for improving the VEET scheme.
Rules removed from regulation:
Remove the requirement to change the regulation when changing specific rules associated with activities. This will allow the scheme to be more flexible and overall will strengthen the scheme.
Product registration:
Recommend the adoption of the NSW Commercial Lighting methodology including product registration.
The current Commercial Lighting compliance requirements add to the cost of undertaking the activity without a commensurate improvement in risk reduction. Adopt NSW approach to align with SA and NSW.
Allow the owner to sign over all of the certificates associated with the job rather than wait until the end where the exact number is known and they need to be contacted again and sign it off. This adds no real value.
Mandatory Disclosure:
Mandatory disclosure of house efficiency and Nabers ratings at time of sale or lease is aligned to taking action on energy efficiency. The assessment of the building could be supported by the VEET scheme.
EECCA recommends that this measure is included.
Advisory/Steering Committee:
Setup an advisory committee for VEET with representation from the following:
Social Services representative (ACOSS or Brotherhood),
