By 2012, the CitySwitch Green Office vision is to:
• Significantly contribute to a reduction of the greenhouse gas emissions produced by tenants in Australia
• Substantially decrease overall electricity demand from tenancies in each participating council business district (and in turn water demand and waste production)
• Positively influence a widespread market transformation within the tenancy sector with a focus on office energy efficiency
Key targets by 2012
• 3 million square meters, equal to 20 per cent of the net lettable area of CitySwitch Partnering Councils, in the program
• 600 signatories nationally
• 140,000 tonne reduction in CO2 produced
Activate ‘sleep’ mode on office equipment that isn’t in constant use.
