Research, Technology and Program Development

Exergy is committed to making cost effective energy savings a reality in the economy through the development of programs that overcome barriers and promote new approaches to energy efficiency. Key programs that Exergy has created include:

The Australian Building Greenhouse Rating Scheme

Client: Sustainable Energy Development Authority of NSW

Exergy developed the technical basis of this scheme and continues to have a strong hand in its technical operation. As a performance based rating scheme for office buildings, the Australian Building Greenhouse Rating scheme has set a precedent for energy efficiency rating systems internationally and has achieved high levels of support within the property industry.

Fleet First — Energy efficiency best practice in fleet management

Client: Department of Industry Science and Resources, Canberra

Spiralling vehicle fuel use is one of the greatest challenges facing the world, and yet few have attempted to address the problem head on. Exergy developed Fleet First to take on this challenge. The products developed included a best practice guide for fleet managers, a fleet management practice rating scheme and fuel use database, and case studies that identified the key steps that organisations can take to improve the performance of their fleet.

Working Energy — Resource kit and building evaluation tool

Client: The Australian Greenhouse Office, Canberra

Working Energy is a comprehensive resource kit and training package for energy managers in Commonwealth and local government organisations. Exergy stakeholder research was used to clearly identify the needs of the end-user group, which were then translated into a substantial, easy to use internet-based tool. Enthusiasm about the product from stakeholders prompted the recent extension of the package to the local government sector.

As part of the Working Energy package, Exergy also developed an internet-based tool for the evaluation of occupant satisfaction in offices, using a combination of new work and international research. This tool enable a user to conduct a post-occupancy evaluation of a large building in a fraction of the time of a normal paper based evaluation.
