At ECS, we are regularly launching
innovative programs and initiatives with new partners to improve
energy and water efficiency.
City
Towers Water Conservation Program
If you are an owner, manager or a tenant in a commercial property
and would like to take a step toward reducing your water consumption,
a new initiative has been launched that you should know about.
ECS will assist you to cut water consumption by up to 25%,
while also helping to offset the upfront cost.

Community Grants
Making a real difference to the way communities use Australian
water resources.
The Australian Government's Community Water Grants programme
offers grants to help local community organisations save,
recycle or improve the health of their local water resources.
Grants are available for projects
related to:
water saving and efficiency
water recycling
water treatment - improving surface and groundwater health.
Round 3, which was launched on 23 April 2007, is the final
round of Community Water Grants funding under the programme's
$200 million allocation.
Investa Greenhouse Guarantee Program Many of our office building tenants want
to minimise their greenhouse emissions through better energy
management but lack the resources or experience to turn aspiration
into action.
ECS in partnership with Investa will help make the transition
to energy efficient offices as painless, cost-effective and
risk-free for government and private sector tenants as possible.
City of Port Phillip Building Tune-up
Program The Building Tune
Up program focuses on improving the energy and water efficiency
of existing local commercial buildings
.
The program will assist commercial building owners and tenants
to retrofit their offices to use less energy and water and to
run more efficiently by implementing systems which guarantee
ongoing cost savings.
The aim of the program is to improve the energy performance
of participating buildings by at least 1-star Australian Greenhouse
Building Rating (AGBR). The program also intends to reduce water
usage by 25%.
