Energy

This program seeks to assist community organisations in Victoria to reduce their environmental footprint and running costs through auditing, education and training. We develop long term partnerships with a wide variety of non-profit groups to assist them with the sometimes complicated world of energy efficiency and impact minimization. Our work benefits the environment, improves the capacity of these community welfare, and we get to solve some engaging engineering problems while we're at it.
