The built environment is estimated to account for more than 10% of Australia's economic activity. It also consumes 40% of all of Australia’s final energy (excluding petroleum-based products). This sector presents an excellent opportunity for energy productivity improvement with return on investment calculated to be better than two dollars for every dollar spent.
