Description: The Green Building Fund program is one of the three elements of the Clean Business Australia initiative. The other elements are the Climate Ready Program and the Re-tooling for Climate Change Program.
The Green Building Fund aims to reduce the impact of Australia's built environment on green house gas emissions, by reducing the energy consumed in the operation of existing commercial office buildings.
The program will provide grants through two streams of activity:
Stream A: targets owners of existing commercial office buildings. It supports them to reduce their energy consumption, by retro-fitting and retro-commissioning of these buildings. Grants ranging from $50,000 to $500,000 are available, for up to 50% of project costs.
Stream B: All rounds for this Stream of the Program are now closed - no further applications will be accepted.
