Safeguarding the Future: Australias Response to Climate Change
"Safeguarding the Future: Australias Response to Climate Change" is a broad strategy that was enumerated in 1998. The package sought to stimulate innovative technologies and provide an ongoing base for commercially competitive renewable energy, including international competitive measures.The strategys measures included:Mandatory Renewable Energy Target (MRET);Renewable Energy Innovation Investment Fund (REIIF) - since renamed Renewable Energy Equity Fund (REEF);Renewable Energy Technology Commercialisation Loans & Grants (integrated into the Renewable Energy Industry Programme);Renewable Energy Showcase Programme
While this strategy was superseded in 2007, some individual component programmes are still active. Please see separate entries for programmes still current… -
NABERS (the National Australian Built Environment Rating System)
NABERS (the National Australian Built Environment Rating System) is a voluntary performance-based rating system that measures an existing buildings overall environmental performance during operation. The range of environmental indicators and the associated measurement techniques were initially developed by the Australian Department of Environment and Heritage. The New South Wales Department of Environment and Climate Change was awarded with a contract to commercialise NABERS in 2005, and manages the programme at a national level. NABERS rates a building on the basis of its measured operational impacts on the building broader environment, local environment, and its occupants. These cover energy use…

Austria
Austria is committed to reaching climate neutrality by 2040. Over three quarter of electricity generation already comes from renewables, with a target of achieving a 100% renewable electricity supply by 2030 (national balance). This requires investments to make networks more resilient and flexible, optimise demand side management, and updating the legal and regulatory framework to allow more consumer participation. Buildings and transport account for around half of total emissions . To progress the transition in these sectors, the government supports building renovation, switching from fossil fuels to sustainable heating systems, the electrification of transport and invests in public transport infrastructure.

Retailer Energy Efficiency Scheme (South Australia)
The Retailer Energy Efficiency Scheme (REES) is a South Australian Government energy efficiency scheme that provides incentives for South Australian households and businesses to save energy. It does this through establishing energy efficiency and audit targets to be met by electricity and gas retailers. Part 4 of the Electricity (General) Regulations 2012 (under the Electricity Act 1996) and Part 4 of the Gas Regulations 2012 (under the Gas Act 1997) (Regulations) establish the policy framework of the REES. The scheme initially commenced on 1 January 2009 as the Residential Energy Efficiency Scheme. From 1 January 2015, the Residential Energy Efficiency…

NCC 2015 - National Construction Code of Australia - Complete Series
NCC 2015 Complete Series contains NCC 2015 Volumes One, Two, Three and The Guide. The series is a uniform set of technical provisions for the design and construction of buildings and other structures throughout Australia, which allows for variations in climate and geological or geographic conditions.
Volume Two: contains the Energy Efficiency requirements (among others) for residential and Class 10 (non-habitable) buildings and structures.
The goal of the NCC is to enable the achievement of nationally consistent, minimum necessary standards of relevant safety (including structural safety and safety from fire), health, amenity and sustainability objectives efficiently. -
