CarbonetiX is proud to award the Port Melbourne Bayview Apartments Owners Corporation with the 2011 Energy Efficiency Award.

This award recognises the owner’s corporation’s continued efforts to reduce energy consumption in the common areas of the Bayview Apartment Complex.  The owner’s corporation committee is managed by MiCM Property.

Through a range of measures including LED lighting upgrades, delamping and other projects such as an automatic pool cover, energy consumption has been reduced by an impressive 53% in the last four years.  This has not only reduced running and maintenance costs substantially, but is avoiding 920 tonnes of carbon pollution each year.

CarbonetiX has undertaken energy efficiency projects at a range of residential, commercial and industrial sites.  We understand the challenges energy efficiency projects throw at management and know that a 53% reduction is only possible with strong and dedicated leadership.  The award makes special mention of both committee member Steve Brown and the MiCM management team and for their driving force and long-term sustainability vision for the Bayview Apartments.

The Port Phillip Council should also be very proud of the support they have given projects such as this.  They are true sustainability  leaders and a model of local governance.

Bayview Apartment’s outstanding achievement demonstrates that energy efficiency not only reduces cost overheads, but also benefits the environment, which benefits the wider community.  Congratulations to all involved and keep up the great work.
