A friend of mine bought a Tesla model S for his residential home in Chatswood. After paying for an upgrade to his switch box and running a new line from the switchbox to his detached garage at the back of the block and installing a Tesla home recharger, the additional cost on top of his new Tesla was ~$50,000.
Electric Vehicles (EV) and hybrid cars are set to soar in the coming years according to a recent research report from ClimateWorks Australia. Statistically the average strata building already has 2 vehicles requiring recharge in their carparks and could have as many as 20 by the year 2025.
There used to be a time when a new development next to your apartment block just meant a loss of amenity. Less sunlight on your building which was less enjoyable, more dampness within your apartment and common areas and maybe some more moss buildup on courtyard tiles.
The way that Home Owners Associations/strata committees make decisions is typically debate, debate and then agree on one thing to do (if at all!)
Any owner of a property within a strata scheme gets the annual report for the block (usually in hard copy) which will detail the annual electricity spend. Any owner can take this information and become the “energy reduction champion” for the block.
We have a storm water catchment system in our building with the pipes funnelling through our underground carpark.
If you have common hot water for your apartment block it can be powered a number of different ways.
We want you to look your best in the gym. That’s why commercial gyms are full of mirrors and floodlit lighting.
The highest recorded demand for electricity from your network within a 15 minute period is measured in kVA or kilo volt amperes.
Physical pool blankets do reduce evaporation from a pool, reducing the energy used to keep the pool heated. They also have the added advantage of reducing the leaves which end up in the pool.
