        In addition to these rounds, three funding rounds were conducted to assist Australian researchers collaborate with their US counterparts. A similar round was also run to facilitate collaboration between Australian and German researchers. ASI also established the Strategic Research Initiatives (SRI) which was designed to support solar PV and CSP technologies which were not yet commercially viable. In conjunction with ARENA, the Australia-US Institute for Advanced Photovoltaics and the Australian Solar Thermal Research Initiative were also funded.

        Australian Building Greenhouse Rating Scheme (ABGR) for offices

        Launched in 1998, the Australian Building Greenhouse Rating (ABGR) scheme provided accredited assessments of the greenhouse intensity of office buildings by awarding a star rating on a scale of one to five. Five stars represented the most environmentally friendly and one star the least, with industry best practice generally obtaining a three-star rating. The ABGR helps benchmark a buildings greenhouse performance, and achieving a high score is considered a measure of the buildings quality; the Property Council of Australia includes environmental performance in its rating of building quality. The AGBR was designed to assist owners and tenants with reducing…
