Carbon reduction Competition for support in improving Energy Efficiency for an Accommodation Business.

July 18, 2007


Following from their successful eco-lighting competition, Byron Sustainable Ventures Network and North Coast Climate Action Group are making an offer, to good to refuse, to Accommodation Businesses in the Byron Shire.

The winning business will receive a free energy audit conducted by Peter Westcott. He will work with the business to identify ways to improve energy efficiency, reduce their carbon footprint and save money in reduced energy bills. Peter will then again for free, project manage any energy efficiency improvements the business decides on ˆ thereby taking the challenge out of managing electricians, plumbers and any other contractors needed.

Accommodation Businesses can do a lot to reduce their carbon footprint and their costs. Many have high heating, cooling, refrigeration and lighting costs which can be reduced while also making their services more attractive to tourists.

Businesses are a significant contributor to greenhouse gases, and global warming, and this competition is part of an ongoing effort by Byron SVN and NCCAG to help businesses do their part for the environment.
