Free energy efficiency assessments (150 households)
Castlemaine Institute and the Resilient Building Council are offering free energy efficiency and resilience home assessments to 150 households in Mount Alexander Shire. These assessments provide professional recommendations to enhance year-round comfort, reduce energy bills, and manage risks from natural hazards such as bushfires, floods, storms, and extreme heat.
We invite applications from a range of house types – old and new, weatherboard, brick, brick veneer. We know communities are stronger when they work together and encourage you to get your neighbourhood involved.
The data collected will inform strategies to improve the resilience and energy efficiency of homes throughout the region. This will inform a cost benefit business case to support future policy and investment in whole of home retrofits.
Find out more and register your interest on Shape Mount Alexander before 31 July 2024
Assessments will take place between August and December 2024
The project is co-delivered by the Castlemaine Institute and Resilient Building Council, in partnership with Mount Alexander Shire Council and the Victorian government Department of Energy Environment and Climate Action, with support from Emergency Recovery Victoria. The project is made possible by funding provided by the Australian Government in partnership with the States and Territories under the National Partnership Agreement for Disaster Risk Reduction.
