Take Action report released
September 18, 2009
The Take Action on Electric Hot Water and Air-Conditoning report investigated alternative technologies for reducing energy use in the home. The report draws on two years of experience implementing efficient hot water and passive cooling measures.
The 'Take Action on Electric Hot Water and Air-Conditioning' (Take Action) project was funded by the Sustainability Fund, managed by Sustainability Victoria, and undertaken by the Moreland Energy Foundation Limited (MEFL) over two years, from May 2007 to August 2009.
The Sustainability Fund provides funding for projects that drive more sustainable resource use in Victoria.
The project focused on two significant and inefficient uses of electricity in households - hot water and air-conditioning systems. It aimed to establish a solid research base that could increase understanding of the penetration of these systems, to trial innovative approaches that could reduce electricity use and greenhouse gas emissions, and explore opportunities for and barriers against such environmental action.
