Level 1 and Level 2 Energy Audits – Insolvency Trustee
Service Australia (ITSA)
Date: 2002
Client: Insolvency Trustee Service Australia
In 2002, Exergy completed Level 1 and Level 2 energy audits of
the Insolvency Trustee Service Australia (ITSA) tenancies
in Barton, ACT. Exergy was chosen from a select panel of Commonwealth
Government accredited energy auditors to conduct the audits.
ITSA occupies three small to medium sized tenancies spread across
two buildings. The audits addressed energy use issues relating
to lighting, office equipment and supplementary air-conditioning
in the computer room. The audit identified a number of opportunities
for improvement, including:
- Replacing the outdated fluorescent lamps used throughout the
ITSA offices with a smaller number of modern triphosphor tubes,
to achieve a reduction in lighting energy use and lighting levels
better matched to Australian Standards;
- Improving the light switching arrangements to encourage better
overnight and weekend switch-off by the occupants; and
- Reviewing the temperature setpoint in the computer room, which
is lower than is customary.
Total savings identified amounted to around 9% of the annual energy
use.
