Energy Efficiency in Government Operations
Energy Efficiency in Government Operations (EEGO) aims to improve energy efficiency, and consequently reduce the whole of life cost and environmental impact of Government operations, and by so doing, lead the community by example.
- Energy Efficiency in Government Operations (EEGO) Policy - policy overview
EEGO comprises three major elements:
- Annual reporting of energy performance by agencies
- Portfolio energy intensity targets by 2011
- Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) for office buildings, appliances, vehicles.
While the focus is on energy, other sustainability outcomes such as water conservation and waste reduction can be integrated into this framework now or in the future.
EEGO updates the 1997 policy Measures for Improving Energy Efficiency in Commonwealth Operations. Energy Use in the Australian Government's operations
