Energy Use

Total energy use in Australian Government operations

in 2009-10 was 21 million Gigajoules (GJ).

Overall energy use within Australian Government

operations is 25 per cent lower than in 1999-00.

Figure ES-1 shows total Australian Government

energy use over the last ten years, detailing the

trends of the six major categories.

2 Energy use: in the Australian Government’s Operations 2009-10

The Defence Operational Fuel category was responsible

for more than half of the total energy use (55 per cent),

followed by Defence Establishments (15 per cent). The

two office building categories (Office – Tenant Light

and Power and Office – Central Services) combined

accounted for nine per cent of total Australian

Government energy use.

The increase within Defence Operational Fuel over the

last reporting year has resulted in an increase of overall

energy use of approximately 11 per cent.

Despite the contribution of Defence Operational Fuel

towards the Australian Government’s total energy use,

there is no policy requirement to reduce operational

fuel consumption. As such, this report presents energy

use and greenhouse emissions data in aggregate form

for Defence Operational Fuel, but does not discuss

it in any further detail.

Figure ES-2 shows government energy use with

Defence Operational Fuel excluded from analysis.

Over the last ten years, overall energy use has

increased by 13 per cent, while growth in the number

of Australian Public Servants has increased by over

45 per cent over the last ten years.2

3Executive Summary

Energy Intensity

The EEGO policy sets two energy intensity targets for

office buildings to be met by Australian Government

agencies by June 2011:

• 7 500 MJ/person/annum for Office – Tenant,

Light and Power (TLP)

• 400 MJ/m2/annum for Office – Central Services (CS).

Energy intensity improvements were achieved in the

majority of end-use categories throughout 2009-10:

• Office – Tenant, Light and Power

(4.83 per cent improvement)

• Office – Central Services

(1.96 per cent improvement)

• Laboratories (11.31 per cent improvement)

• Climate Controlled Stores (4.03 per cent

improvement)

• Public Buildings (3.10 per cent improvement)

• Other Buildings (4.45 per cent improvement).

Increases in energy intensity were found in the

remaining three end-use categories; Computer Centres

(13 per cent), Law Courts (7 per cent) and Passenger

Vehicles (7 per cent).

Analysis of energy intensity figures over the last

ten years shows an improvement in most end-use

categories have been achieved, with the largest

improvements found in Other Buildings (36 per cent),

Office – Tenant, Light and Power (35 per cent)

and Laboratories (16 per cent). Computer Centres

has improved by 66 per cent since the categories

introduction in 2006-07.

Two end-use categories with notable increases in

energy intensity over the last ten years are Climate

Controlled Stores (13 per cent) and Passenger Vehicles

(19 per cent).

Within Office – Tenant Light and Power, the Australian

Government has an average energy intensity

performance of 7 636 MJ/person in 2009-10. Over

the last ten years, energy intensity has improved

by 35 per cent. Of the 104 agencies that reported

TLP in 2009-10, 41 agencies (39 per cent) have met

or are below the TLP energy intensity target.

Within Office – Central Services, the Australian

Government has an average energy intensity

performance of 472 MJ/m2 in 2009-10. Of the 37

agencies that reported CS in 2009-10, 16 agencies

(43 per cent) have met or are below the CS energy

intensity target.

Emissions

Australian Government activities generated greenhouse

gas emissions equivalent to 2.8 million tonnes of

carbon dioxide (hereafter abbreviated to CO2-e) in

2009-10. This equates to a six per cent increase over

2009-10, predominantly attributable to an increase in

Defence Operational Fuels.

Excluding Defence Operational Fuel from analysis,

total Australian Government emissions have only

marginally increased from 2008-09 (less than

one per cent), while an increase of four per cent

occurred over the last ten years.

Office Buildings and Other Facilities combined

account for the majority of greenhouse gas emissions

from the Australian Government, due to the greater

greenhouse impact of electricity than other fuel types.

Consequently, energy saving strategies in buildings

offers the greatest potential for reducing the quantity

of the Australian Government’s greenhouse emissions.

While electricity made up only 29 per cent of the total

Australian Government energy consumption, it was

responsible for over 60 per cent of its greenhouse

gas emissions. GreenPower and Greenhouse Friendly

Electricity TM accounted for eight per cent of the total

electricity consumption in 2009-10, with a 28 per cent

increase from 2008-09.

Introduction

Policy Background 8

Scope 10

Structure 13


Policy Background The Energy Efficiency in Government Operations (EEGO)

policy was released in 2006, replacing Measures

for Improving Energy Efficiency in Commonwealth

Operations (MIEECO). This will be the fourth report

on energy use to be compiled in accordance with the

2006 EEGO policy.

The EEGO policy 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.

The key features of the 2006 EEGO policy are as follows:

Reporting requirements and energy

intensity targets:

• The EEGO policy requires agencies to submit

detailed energy use data to their respective

Ministers and to DCCEE for the purposes of

compiling this Energy Use in the Australian

Government’s Operations report3

• The policy includes performance targets in

Office—Tenant Light and Power (TLP) and

Office—Central Services (CS) of 7 500 MJ/

person/annum and 400 MJ/m²/annum

respectively. These are to be achieved by

June 2011 and apply to each agency’s total

property portfolio

• The policy also notes the Energy Management

Strategy being implemented by the Department

of Defence

Minimum energy performance standards

(MEPS), including:

• Energy efficiency measures for new office

buildings, major refurbishments and new leases

• A lease-based management partnership model

known as the Green Lease Schedule (GLS)

• Independent energy performance validation GLS

requirement for all new office buildings, major

refurbishments and new leases over

2 000 m² within 15 months of handover. Annual

performance validation is required in new leases

for office buildings over 2 000 m²

• Focus on energy efficiency with the option to

integrate greenhouse gas emission reductions,

water conservation, waste minimisation and

other sustainability issues

Communications and program

management, including:

• A comprehensive education and awareness

program to be developed by DCCEE to assist

agencies in the implementation of EEGO

• Mid-term and end-of-term independent policy

reviews (the midterm review was

conducted in 2009, and the end-of-term

review to be conducted in 2011)

Responsibility for compliance for EEGO policy

Secretaries of departments and heads

of budget-dependent agencies will:

• Report their organisations’ energy performance

to their respective Ministers and DCCEE annually

• Determine how they can most effectively adopt

the minimum energy performance measures

to meet their individual needs and the revised

portfolio energy intensity targets

3 Section 516A of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) requires Commonwealth organisations to include in their annual reports a section detailing the environmental performance of the organisation and its contribution to ecologically sustainable development. Energy reporting under the EEGO policy complements this requirement with a detailed submission of energy use data.

9Introduction: Policy Background

Green Lease Schedules

Most Australian Government agencies do not own the

buildings they occupy, but rent premises appropriate

to their business needs.

Under the EEGO policy, all lease agreements and

Memoranda of Understanding for new office buildings,

major refurbishments and new leases over 2 000 m²

must include a Green Lease Schedule. The Green Lease

Schedule is a document which is designed to assist

the implementation and ongoing compliance with the

current performance standards in the EEGO policy. The

current standard is a NABERS Energy rating of 4.5 stars,

for all leases 2 000 m² and over, for two years or more.

The five key elements of a Green Lease Schedule are:

• Agreed energy performance standard—landlord

and tenant maintain the specified NABERS energy

rating for central services and tenant light and

power respectively

• Separate digital metering providing 30 minute

data—allows tenants and building owners to

readily identify their own energy usage and costs.

The 30 minute data helps identify inefficient

electricity use as well as system errors

• A building management committee—consists

of representatives of both tenant and building

owners who meet quarterly to review and report

on energy performance

• Most agencies—especially those without

plant equipment expertise—are encouraged

to enter into a gross lease arrangement.

It should be made explicit in lease negotiations

that no costs associated with central services

consumption are recoverable from tenants,

either directly, or as an ongoing expense.

This ensures that all central services energy

consumption is the exclusive responsibility

of the building owner, thereby creating an

incentive for owners to improve the efficiency

of their building systems.

• In some cases, such as for specific

operational purposes, and where the

agency has the expertise to manage

plant equipment, they may benefit from

a net lease arrangement. They will then be

responsible for tenancy and base building

energy use. Agencies should request that bills

are passed on, or that they are given access

to the energy data as well as costs, to ensure

maximum knowledge and control over their

central services energy use.

For more details about Green Lease Schedules and the EEGO policy visit the Department’s website

at www.climatechange.gov.au/government/initiatives/eego.

• An energy management plan—developed jointly

between landlord and tenant, this includes

strategies to achieve and maintain the target

NABERS energy rating over the term of the lease

• Remedial action or dispute resolution processes—

enables non-compliance issues to be resolved

between both parties without invoking more

adversarial resolution processes.

Attaching a Green Lease Schedule to a lease for

a commercial building obliges both the tenant and

building owner to work collaboratively towards

achieving the operational NABERS Energy requirement.

Where a leased premises is unlikely to achieve

4.5 stars, such as if there are specific operational

requirements, or if the space is in a heritage building,

an exception may be negotiated with DCCEE.

The type of lease influences the degree to which

the agency can manage central services energy

consumption for services such as air conditioning,

hot water and lifts. In gross lease arrangements the

tenant pays rent and the building owner is entirely

responsible for managing central services energy

consumption. In net lease arrangements the tenant

is separately billed for central services energy use.

DCCEE provides the following guidance to agencies

entering into new lease arrangements:


ObjectivesThis report provides a detailed account of the energy

used by the Australian Government during the 2009-

10 financial year, and charts trends in its energy use

from 1999-00 to the present. The data is presented in

aggregate and by portfolio, agency and department

(hereafter all departments and agencies will be referred

to as ‘agencies’). Energy consumption is also broken

down into categories according to activity use (‘end-

use categories’), such as the energy used in offices,

computer centres, public buildings or in passenger

transport.

The specific aims of this report are:

• To present a breakdown of energy use in the

Australian Government’s operations, according

to activity type, portfolio and agency.

• To compare Australian Government agencies’

energy efficiency against the targets set

in the EEGO policy.

• To present a best estimate of the greenhouse

gas emissions resulting from the activities

of the Australian Government.

Regular public reporting of performance provides

a number of benefits including:

• Increasing awareness of energy

and greenhouse issues

Regular reporting raises the profile

of energy efficiency.

• Measuring relative performance

against benchmarks

A consistent reporting basis that covers energy

or greenhouse intensity (such as MJ per m² or

MJ per person) allows an organisation to compare

its performance with other organisations operating

similar facilities. Agencies can also see how they

perform relative to benchmarks.

4 Budget dependency is defined as deriving more than half of departmental/agency funding either directly or indirectly from Commonwealth funds.

• Identifying high-intensity areas

Reporting that tracks changes over time can identify

emerging high energy use areas. For example, this

report highlights that computer centres and storage

(such as those which hold large databases) are

generating substantial increases in energy use and

are very energy intensive. Reporting Information

and Communications Technology (ICT) energy

consumption and performance is a requirement

under the Australian Government ICT Sustainability

Plan 2010-2015 and assists the Government to

better understand the energy use and carbon

footprint of its ICT estate.

• Cost savings

Agencies that measure and monitor their energy

use are better able to manage their energy

consumption levels, and hence are also better

able to control their costs.

• Transparency encourages improvement

The energy and environmental management

practices of Australian Government agencies are

subject to public scrutiny when detailed in this

report. This level of transparency encourages

both improved performance and quality reporting

of that performance.

ScopeThe EEGO policy applies to all Australian Government

agencies covered by the Financial Management and

Accountability Act 1997 and all agencies and statutory

bodies covered by the Commonwealth Authorities and

Companies Act 1997 whose operations are substantially

budget-dependent.4

This report is based on energy use data provided by the

123 Australian Government agencies required to report

under EEGO in 2009-10.

Agencies report energy data into 14 end-use categories

outlined in Table 1. Several of these end-use categories

are relevant to most agencies; such as Office – Tenant

Light and Power and Passenger vehicles. Others are

specific to particular agency functions, such as Defence

Operational Fuels and Law Courts.

11Introduction: Scope

Table 1: End-use categories and energy intensity targets

13Introduction: Structure

Under the Australian Government EEGO policy

agencies are expected to be responsible for, and

report on, energy consumption for which they have

direct control. The following energy uses are out

of the scope of this report:

• Defence Operational Fuels purchased outside

Australia: Only fuel consumed or purchased in

Australia is included; where military craft are

re-fuelled outside Australia, this is not included.

• Some Office—Central Services electricity

consumption: Commonwealth Agencies only report

Office – Central Services energy use which the

Australian Government directly owns, or where the

Australian Government, as a tenant, has agreed to

assume responsibility for running and maintenance

of plant equipment and its energy consumption.

• All forms of transport which the Australian

Government does not directly lease or own:

Travel by air, bus, train, hire car, taxi or ferry is not

included in this report, unless an agency directly

pays for fuel—for example, if it owns and

operates a plane or ship.

• Energy used by vehicles on novated leases

is not reported.

• Public servants’ own transport to and from

work (and within work hours), is not reported

except when it involves the use of fleet or

government leased vehicles.

• Energy used by office staff working from home

is not reported.

StructureThe report is divided into three sections and two

annexes:

• Section 1 presents the policy background and

outlines objectives and scope of the report

• Section 2 presents energy use and energy intensity

data for the Australian Government according to

each end-use category and reports performance

against targets

• Section 3 examines greenhouse gas emissions

for the Australian Government operations

• Annex A provides aggregate date of total Australian

Government energy use and emissions

• Annex B contains a series of ranking tables which

show the relative performance of individual

agencies in a number of key categories.

The report is complemented by an online interactive

database which provides detailed information by

agency and by portfolio. To access the database,

OverviewThe total reported energy consumption of the

Australian Government in 2009-10 was 21 331 618 GJ.

This amounts to approximately four per cent of the

total energy consumed by Australian households

in a year.5

The following six major categories were used to provide

an overview of the breakdown of energy use in the

operations of the Australian Government.

• Office Buildings: energy used by Australian

Government agencies and departments in its

office spaces.

• Other Facilities: energy used within Computer

Centres, Laboratories, Public Buildings, Law Courts,

Climate Controlled Stores, and Other Buildings.

5 Most recent available data estimates the Australian residential sector consumed 426 petajoules (PJ) [426 000 000 GJ] of energy in 2007-08. See ABARE (2010) Energy in Australia, Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics Research Report produced for the Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism.

Overall the Australian Government has reduced its total

energy use by 25 per cent over the last ten years. The

ten year decline is the result of reductions in energy

consumption levels of Defence Operational Fuel, which

varies widely depending on operation requirements.

The increase within Defence Operational Fuel

category from 2008-09 has resulted in the Australian

Governments overall energy consumption increasing

by approximately 11 per cent.

Despite the contribution of Defence Operational Fuel

towards the Australian Government’s total energy use,

it does not fall within the ambit of the EEGO policy,

except as a reporting requirement.

• Transport: energy used by passenger vehicles

and other forms of transport.

• Defence Establishments: energy used in buildings

and facilities within established Defence bases.

• Defence Operational Fuel: energy used by the

Australian Defence force in the operation of aircraft,

tanks, ships, submarines, and other vehicles.

• Other Uses: energy used within Antarctic Bases

and energy consumption that does not fit any

particular end-use category.

Figure 1 shows total Australian Government energy use

between 1999-00 and 2009-10, detailing the

overall Australian Government energy use in

2009-10 was 9.7 million GJ, which represents a

two per cent increase from 2008-09.

This increase is a result of growth within the Other

Facilities major category (specifically within Computer

Centres and Other Buildings) and Transport (specifically

Other Transport), which has grown by approximately

20 per cent over the last ten years. These increases are

discussed in greater detail later in the report.

This increase may also be correlated with the growth of

Australian Public Service as a whole, which has grown

in staff numbers by approximately two per cent from

2008-09, and 48 per cent over the last ten years.6

Table 2 provides an overview of the energy use and

energy intensity figures for all energy use categories

as well as changes since 2008-09 and 1999-00. Energy

intensity has decreased in the majority of categories

over the last reporting period as well as over the last

ten years.


over the last ten years, overall Australian Government

energy use has increased by 13 per cent.

Figure 2 illustrates the Australian Government’s total

energy use between 1999-00 and 2009-10 excluding

Defence Operational Fuel from analysis.

Office BuildingsOffice Buildings accounted for nine per cent of the total

Australian Government energy use in 2009-10. Excluding

Defence Operational Fuel from the analysis, Office

Buildings were responsible for 19 per cent of the total.

The EEGO policy sets out the following targets for

the two office building categories, to be achieved

by June 2011:

• Office – Tenant, Light and Power:

7 500 MJ/person/annum

• Office – Central Services: 400 MJ/m2/annum.

7 Total reported areas for office spaces (Office-Tenant Light and Power) were: 2 509 354 m2 in 1999-00; 3 445 585 m2 in 2008-09; and 3 561 158 m2 in 2009-10.

Figure 3 illustrates the proportions of energy use for

the major categories in 2009-10. Defence Operational

Fuel was responsible for 55 per cent of the total

Australian Government energy use in 2009-10, followed

by Defence Establishments (15 per cent), Other

Facilities (11 per cent), Office Buildings (9 per cent),

Transport (8 per cent) and Other Uses (2 per cent).

Figure 3: Australian Government Energy Use by Major

Category, 2009-10

The number of people working for the Australian

Public Service within office buildings has increased by

48 per cent between 1999-00 and 2009-10. In addition,

office floor area in the Australian Government has

increased by about 3 per cent over 2008-09, and

by 42 per cent since 1999–00.7

Figure 4 displays the energy used within the TLP

category together with the energy intensity figures.

As is shown, the total amount of energy consumed by

the Australian Government within its tenancies has

been volatile year on year, with a small decrease of

one per cent over the last ten years. Over the last ten

years, energy intensity has improved by 35 per cent,

Energy Use (GJ) Energy Intensity EEGO Target Trendline (Energy Intensity)

Note: TLP energy intensity figures are produced from 2001-02 onwards as the data prior to this was considered too volatile to be used as the

basis of a trend line.

As at 2009-10, the Australian Government is on average

less than two per cent away from achieving the TLP

energy intensity target, and the trend line indicates the

Australian Government is expected to meet the TLP

target by 2010-11.

Table 3 shows the relative performance of each of the

Australian Government’s portfolios that reported TLP in

the 2009-10 financial year ranked by energy intensity.8

These figures represent averages for whole portfolios; it

is important to note that individual agency performance

within portfolios can vary considerably.

The green band indicates portfolios which are

already performing at or below the EEGO policy

target of 7 500 MJ/person/annum. The yellow band

reflects those portfolios which are trending toward

the EEGO target, but are below the previous policy

target of 10 000 MJ/person/annum. The red band

indicates portfolios which are higher than the previous

policy target.

Figure 5 depicts the 104 agencies that reported TLP

energy use in 2009-10 in relation to the targets set out

in the EEGO policy and the previous policy. Of the

104 agencies:

• 41 (39 per cent) met or performed better than

the EEGO target of 7 500 MJ/person/annum

• 27 (26 per cent) were considered to be progressing

towards the EEGO target, but performed better than

the previous target of 10 000 MJ/person/annum

• 36 (35 per cent) were above both targets, with

10 agencies having an energy intensity of more

than double the EEGO target.

In 2009-10, the Australian Government had an overall

average energy intensity of 7 636 MJ/person.

While 61 per cent of agencies had an energy intensity

above the EEGO target of 7 500 MJ/person, the majority

of Australian Government Public Servants are employed

by agencies performing better than the EEGO target.

For instance the overall average of the Australian

Government was influenced significantly by the

contribution of the three large agencies, Centrelink,

the Australian Taxation Office and the Department of

Defence. Together these agencies accounted for nearly

half of the total number of public servants, and over

a third of the total energy use reported within the

TLP category in 2009-10.

In 2009-10, all three agencies performed significantly

better than the EEGO target at an energy intensity

of: 5 940 MJ/person within Centrelink; 6 052 MJ/

person within the Australian Taxation Office; and

6 810 MJ/person within the Department of Defence.

Consequently, the overall average for the Australian

Government was only marginally higher than the EEGO

target at an energy intensity of 7 636 MJ/person.

By comparison, agencies that reported energy intensity

significantly above the target, such as the Australian

Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity with an

energy intensity of 32 915 MJ/person, had a negligible

contribution towards the overall Australian Government

average due to their less significant energy use and

relatively small staff sizes.

For details on specific agencies’ energy use within

the TLP category, refer to Annex B.1.

Energy Intensity 472 MJ/m² -1.96% Decrease -3.96% Decrease

In 2009-10, 37 agencies reported a combined total

energy use of 610 396 GJ within the Office – Central

Services (CS) category. This category accounts for

three per cent of the total Australian Government

energy use. Energy use in this category has decreased

by four per cent in the last reporting period, but

increased by 18 per cent since 1999-00.

Office – Central Services applies to energy used in the

provision of base building services common to all office

tenants such as; heating, ventilation, air conditioning,

and lifts. Only agencies that own their buildings and

agencies responsible for managing central services

energy use report CS data. As a result, fewer agencies

report within the CS category.

CS energy consumption is directly linked to the

replacement cycle for plant and equipment in office

buildings, normally occurring between ten to 15 years

for minor replacements, and 15 to 30 years for major

replacements. Therefore, the CS target is significantly

influenced by long term investment strategies of

building owners and tenants responsible for the

plant and equipment.

Figure 6 displays the energy used within the CS

category together with the energy intensity figures.

Over the last ten years, energy intensity increased

by nearly four per cent, from 454 MJ/m2 in 1999-00

to 472 MJ/ m2 in 2009-10. However, energy intensity

figures for this category have varied year on year,

and is considered too volatile to be used as the basis

of a trend line. Only since 2001-02, has data been

considered consistent enough to put forward a trend

estimate. Based on the trend line it is unlikely that the

Australian Government as a whole will achieve the

400 MJ/m²/annum target by June 2011.

Energy Use (GJ) Energy Intensity EEGO Target Trendline (Energy Intensity)


Figure 6 depicts the total amount of energy consumed

by the Australian Government was at a constant level

between 1999-00 and 2004-05, but rose significantly

in 2005-06, and remained at this level for the last few

reporting years. This increase correlates with the

change in the number of reporting agencies, which

rose from 33 in 2004-05 to 39 agencies in 2005-06.

This correlation indicates that the increase is caused

by previously unreported consumption and is not

necessarily linked to any actual increases in energy

use. Similarly, the four per cent drop in overall reported

energy use from 2008-09 is a result of several agencies

no longer reporting in this category rather than any

specifically identifiable reductions in energy use.

Table 4 shows the relative performance of each of the

Australian Government’s portfolios that reported CS in

2009-10. These figures represent averages for whole

portfolios; it is important to note that individual agency

performance within portfolios can vary considerably.

Portfolios have been ranked by energy intensity. The

green section of the table refers to portfolios which

are already performing at or below the EEGO policy

target of 400 MJ/m²/annum. The yellow band reflects

those portfolios which are trending towards the EEGO

target, and the red band indicates agencies that are

considerably higher than the EEGO target.

Agencies

EEGO Target Previous Target Australian Government Average

Met EEGO Target Progressing TowardsEEGO Target

Above Previous Policy Target

In 2009-10, the Australian Government had an overall

average energy intensity of 400 MJ/m2.

While 43 per cent of agencies had an energy intensity

better than the EEGO target of 400 MJ/m2, the majority

of the reported area (m2) is occupied by agencies

operating above the EEGO target.

The overall average of the Australian Government was

influenced significantly by the contribution of the four

largest agencies, Department of Defence, Centrelink,

the Australian Federal Police and the Australian

Property Group (part of the Department of Finance and

Deregulation). Together these four agencies occupied

two thirds of the total area (m2) reported within CS,

and contributed two thirds of energy use in 2009-10.

Although Centrelink performed better than the

EEGO target with an energy intensity of 310 MJ/m2,

it’s performance was counterbalanced by the other

agencies which all had an energy intensity above

both targets: 559 MJ/m² within Department of Defence;

605 MJ/m² within Australian Federal Police; and 600 MJ/

m² within Australian Property Group.

Consequently, in 2009-10, the overall average for the

Australian Government was above the EEGO target

at an energy intensity of 472 MJ/m2.

It should be noted that the Department of Defence,

the largest agency, achieved an 8 per cent reduction

in energy intensity between 2009-10 and 2008-09.

This improvement becomes more significant when

it is appreciated that this agency contributes nearly

a quarter of the total CS energy use. As a result, the

overall Australian Government average improved

by 1.42 per cent from the 2008-09 reporting year.

For details on specific agencies’ energy use

within the CS category, refer to Annex B.2.


Green Lease Schedules

When negotiating a substantial new lease or following

a major building refurbishment, all Australian

Government agencies are required to meet an

efficiency rating of 4.5 stars NABERS (supported

by a Green Lease Schedule). As more Green Lease

Schedules are negotiated or renewed, the Australian

Government’s energy efficiency is expected to improve.

In 2009-10, there were 385 leases reported in place

for office buildings with an area of 2 000 m² or more

which are leased for two years or longer. The number

of Green Lease Schedules included in this total was

87 (23 per cent).

Other FacilitiesOther Facilities accounted for 11 per cent of the

total Australian Government energy use in 2009-10.

Excluding Defence Operational Fuel from the analysis,

Other Facilities were responsible for 25 per cent of

the total.

was only introduced in September 2006, and only applies

to all new leasing or major refurbishment negotiations.

The opportunity to negotiate a GLS can be impacted by

the leasing cycle. The leasing cycle may range between

7 to 15 years for Australian Government agencies.

Of the 34 new leases for office facilities over 2 000 m2

and longer than two years signed in 2009-10; 19 agencies

(56 per cent) contained a Green Lease Schedule, and

eight agencies (23 per cent) received an exeption to

the Green Lease requrements. As such, in 2009-10, the

Australian Government achieved a 79 per cent Green

Lease Schedule compliance rate for new leases of

2 000 m² or more, with duration of two or more years.

27Energy Performance: Other Facilities


energy use of 310 726 GJ within the Computer Centres

category, which accounted for only one per cent of

the Australian Government’s energy use.

Energy use reported in this category has increased

by 22 per cent since 2008-09, with energy intensity

increasing by 13 per cent.

With energy intensity figures in excess of 10 000 MJ/

m²/annum, these facilities are very energy intensive.

The amount of energy per square metre is much higher

than for any other end-use category.

Owing to the category’s short timeseries, it is difficult

to confidently determine any long term trends in energy

consumption within Australian Government Computer

Centres. Available data indicates energy use within

Computer Centres has tripled since the category’s

introduction in 2006-07. However, a 700 per cent

increase in reported floor area resulted in a 66 per cent

improvement in energy intensity over the same

time period.

The growth in reported area is likely to be a

combination of actual growth and more agencies

re-classifying sites as computer centres that may

have been reported under TLP and Other Buildings

in previous years.

The growth in energy consumption by the Australian

Government in this sector is mirrored both outside of

government and internationally. In prticular, demand

for storage in recent years has grown by 60 per cent

per year.

Individual agency performance in the Computer

Centres category is reported in Annex B.3.

Energy Use 864 799 GJ -1.80% Decrease -2.61% Decrease


Eight agencies reported a combined total energy

use of 864 799 GJ within Laboratories in 2009-10.

This category accounted for four per cent of the

Australian Government’s energy use.

Since the last reporting period there has been a

decrease of two per cent in energy use and a decrease

of 11 per cent in energy intensity in this category.

Laboratory energy intensity figures vary greatly

between agencies, ranging from 597 MJ/m²/annum

for the least intense agency to 2 770 MJ/m²/annum

for the most energy intensive agency.

The following two agencies dominate the Laboratories

category in terms of energy use;

• Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research

Organisation (CSIRO), which accounted for

613 487 GJ of energy, and

• Department of Defence, which accounted

for 172 229 GJ.

Both agencies reported that they are working on ways

to monitor and reduce their overall energy use, through

a range of strategies including; better sub-metering,

audits, better collation and analysis of energy data,

and energy management plans.

Although Defence has only reduced laboratory energy

use by two per cent over the last ten years, it has

reported an improvement of 39 per cent in energy

intensity since the last reporting period.

The CSIRO advises that it is implementing an

environmental sustainability strategy, with the high

level targets of halving mains water consumption and

waste generation and becoming carbon neutral by 2015.

Energy Intensity 1 130 MJ/m² -3.10% Decrease -5.18% Decrease

In 2009-10, 17 agencies reported a combined total

energy consumption of 385 898 GJ within Public

Buildings. This category accounted for nearly

two per cent of the Australian Government’s

energy use.

The increase in energy use of 18 per cent since is not

linked to any actual increases in energy consumption,

but rather changes in the number of agencies that

report in this category. In fact, this increase is

specifically linked to the introduction of Old Parliament

House in 2003-04, and the improved metering of

energy use within National Museum of Australia since

2001-02. Accounting for these entities, no significant

changes to energy use have occured within the Public

Buildings category.

Energy use within public buildings such as libraries,

museums and art galleries can be difficult to manage as

these buildings often have a requirement to maintain

close control of internal environmental conditions on

a 24 hour basis. For example, the National Gallery of

Australia is required to maintain strict heating, cooling

and humidity controls to protect exhibits.

Despite such difficults, over the last ten years,

energy intensity within Public Building has improved

by approximate five per cent. This improvement is

indication that energy is currenlty being used over

a greater building floor area.

In 2009-10, five agencies reported a collective total

accounted for less than one per cent of the Australian

Government’s energy use.

The Law Courts category includes all types of court

facilities, whether a relatively small space in a larger

building or a specialised building.

The seven per cent increases to both energy use and

intensity, over the last reporting year, are a result of

increased energy sumption within Commonwealth Law

Courts. This increase is associated with the installation

of additional gas fire boilers within its Western Australia

court facilities.

Annex B.6 contains a ranking table of the five agencies

that reported energy use in this category in 2009-10.

10 Public Building energy consumption figures have been volatile over the last ten years. A large increase occurred between 1999-00 and 2000-01, with energy use declining slightly between 2000-01 and 2008-09. It is inadvisable to make any assumptions based on this apparent increase.

Nine agencies reported a combined total energy use

of 67 544 GJ for Climate Controlled Stores in 2009-10,

which accounted for less the one per cent of the

Australian Government’s overall energy use.

Climate Controlled Stores can require 24 hour

temperature and humidity control in order to preserve

items in storage. While energy use within these

facilities can be difficult to manage, the Australian

Government has reported a three per cent reduction

in energy use over the last reporting year, and

a one per cent reduction over the last ten years.

Energy intensity improved by four per cent over

the last reporting period. The 12 per cent increase in

energy intensity over the last ten years is considered

to be a result of overestimating building floor area

in early reporting years.

category. This category accounted for over

three per cent of the Australian Government’s

total energy use.

Other Buildings ranges from simple storage sheds

through to radio transmitters, which have very different

energy needs. As a result, energy intensity figures

should be interpreted with caution.

While energy use has increased in Other Buildings

by eight per cent since 1999-00, energy use per

square metre has declined by over a third during

the same period. While this may represent an actual

improvement in energy efficiency, it may also be due

to changes in the types/number of buildings reported

in this category and metering improvements.

Annex B.8 contains a ranking table of all agencies

which reported Other Buildings in 2009-10.


Transport Transport accounted for eight per cent of the total

Australian Government energy use in 2009-10.

Excluding Defence Operational Fuel from the analysis,

Transport was responsible for 18 per cent of the total.

Transport; 8%

Of the 123 Australian Government agencies, 98

agencies reported energy use within this category.

Passenger vehicles accounted for approximately

three per cent of the total Australian Government

energy use, with a total of 597 093 GJ.

The indicator MJ/km is used rather than L/100km

to account for different fuels (petrol, diesel, LPG,

natural gas) that are aggregated within the energy

consumption data.

Over the last ten years the energy intensity of Passenger

Vehicles has been quite volatile. As such all figures

reported in this category should be treated with caution.

It is only since 2003-04 that figures have become

consistent enough to estimate trends in energy use.

Over this period energy use in Passenger Vehicles

has steadily reduced by over 23 per cent.

While energy intensity has increased by approximately

19 per cent over the last ten years, closer examination

from 2004-05 onwards shows a steady decline.

Green Vehicle Guide (GVG) Rating

The Green Vehicle Guide (GVG) provides all new vehicles

proposal by the Australian Greenhouse Office for

28 per cent of the Australian Government fleet to attain

a GVG score of 10.5 or above by 2005. Although the

The Australian Government has continued to improve

the overall environmental performance of its fleet

vehicles in relation to the GVG in 2009-10 is depicted

in Figure 8.

A large drop in the proportion of commercial

Government’s vehicles achieved a GVG rating

of 10.5 or more in 2009-10. Within each category;

energy use of 1 107 532 GJ within the Other Transport

category, which accounted for five per cent of total

Australian Government’s energy use.

This category includes a variety of transport modes, such

as aircraft used for surveying, large vehicles used for

outback and rugged terrains, and ships used for customs

duty transport.13 This diversity makes it impossible to

measure energy intensity. There is no business measure

common to all energy use in this category.

Energy use within Other Transport has increased by

19 per cent since 2008-09, and by 80 per cent since

1999-00. These increases are the effect of changes

within the operations of the Australian Customs

and Border Protection Service, which accounts

for approximately 80 per cent of total energy use

within Other Transport. The agency explains the high

increases to overall energy consumption as a direct

result of increased northern patrols over the last

three reporting periods.

13 As noted at the outset, this does not extend to any transport that the Australian Government does not directly lease or own, and so excludes any public transport, by air, trains, bus, and taxi.

made up less than one per cent of the total Australian

No significant changes have been achieved within

the Antarctic Bases category. While there was a five

per cent increase in energy use over the last reporting

year, over the last ten years energy use in this category

has declined by one per cent.

Energy consumption is considered difficult to manage

within this category, as energy use is dependant on

operational requirements. Furthermore, building

facilities often have a requirement to maintain close

control of internal environmental conditions on

a 24 hour basis.

Energy is used for a variety of purposes within this

category, and as such, there are no common business

the Australian Government’s energy use.

The significant increase of 280 per cent over the last

ten years is attirbuted to changes in reporting resulting

from adminstrative changes to the Attorney-General’s

Department. Such adminstrative changes has led to

several buildings previously reported under Other

Buildings now reclasified under Other Uses.

The Other Uses category is too diverse for a single

this category has been largely stable since 1999-00.

Defence Establishments report on aggregate energy

consumption, as Defence bases have traditionally only

had single electricity, gas and water meters.

As there is no single business measure for all facilities

Emissions from the combustion of Defence Operational

Fuels have decreased by 43 per cent over the last

ten years. However, an increase of 21 per cent over

the last reporting period caused the overall Australian

Government emission to increase by approximately

six per cent.

With the exclusion of Defence Operational Fuel, the

Australian Government produced 1 943 766 tonnes

of CO2-e in 2009-10. This amount is a marginal

increase from 2008-09 (less than one per cent),

and a four per cent increase over the last ten years.

Figure 10 shows the total emissions of the Australian

Government between 1999-00 and 2009-10 excluding

Defence Operational Fuel.

Figure 9 shows the emissions of the six major

categories Office Buildings, Other Facilities, Transport,

Defence Operational Fuel, Defence Establishments

and Other Uses from 1999-00 to 2009-10. Despite

a six per cent increase in Australian Government

emissions since the last reporting period, overall

emissions have decreased by 17 per cent since 1999-00.

Other Facilities Of�ce Buildings Transport Other Uses Defence Establishments

As illustrated, that emissions data for Defence

Establishments and Office Buildings has been broadly

stable over the long term. The four per cent increase

over the last ten years is partially due to the growth

in energy use within the Other Facilities major

category (specifically Computer Centres).

The four per cent increase in total emissions should

be considered within the context of the growth of

Australian Public Service as a whole, which has grown

in staff numbers by approximately two per cent from

2008-09, and 48 per cent over the last ten years. 15

Table 5 reports the changes in emissions of each major

category over the last ten years and reporting period.

The table demonstrates the greatest change affecting

overall emissions is due to Other Facilities, which has

grown by approximately 19 per cent over the last

ten years.

The percentage increases within Other Uses and

Transport over the last ten years, reported in Table 5,

are very small in absolute terms relative to the other

major categories (combined accounting for less

than six per cent of overall Australian Government

emissions). This is demonstrated within Figure 11,

which illustrates the proportions of energy use and

greenhouse gas emissions respectively for the six

major categories in 2009-10.

Defence Operational Fuel was responsible for

55 per cent of the total Australian Government energy

use, but only for 31 per cent of its overall emissions

owing to the low emissions intensity of the majority

of fuel types used within this category. In contrast,

the combined total energy use of Office Buildings

and Other Facilities accounted for 20 per cent of

total energy use, but makes up 36 per cent of overall

emissions. This is due to the high proportion of

electricity use within these categories, which has a

higher emissions intensity value then other fuel types

used within the Australian Government operations.

By excluding the Defence Operational Fuel from

the analysis, Office Buildings and Other Facilities

together generated 53 per cent of the total emissions.

These figures show how important building energy

performance is in determining overall greenhouse

emissions of the Australian Government. The energy

consumption of both Defence Establishments and

Other Uses are also mostly building related, giving

a strong indication of the need to apply policy focus

on buildings rather than transport operations.

Emissions by Fuel Type This section examines the relative contribution of different fuel types to overall Australian Government greenhouse

gas emissions.

As Table 6 demonstrates the three largest energy sources within Australian Government Operations are kerosene

(35 per cent), electricity (29 per cent), and diesel oil (24 per cent). Kerosene is used as aviation fuel, diesel oil

is used in tanks, trucks and ships; while most of the electricity consumed is used to power buildings.

* All intensity values are the averages of all energy sources used in the Australian Government’s operations (including Defence Operational Fuel).

Emissions intensity figures produced for 2009-10 show

by far the highest emissions intensity for electricity at

273 kg of CO2-e per GJ. This figure is more than three

times bigger than the emissions intensity of all other

fuel types. This is because the bulk of electricity

in Australia is produced from burning coal, which

is an emissions-intensive fuel source.

The four charts in Figure 12 illustrate the proportions

of energy use and emissions respectively for each

fuel type in 2009-10. While electricity made up only

29 per cent of the total Australian Government energy

consumption, it was responsible for over 60 per cent

of the total greenhouse gas emissions.

With the exclusion of the Defence Operational Fuels,

electricity emissions accounted for 88 per cent of

the total emissions. These figures demonstrate that

reducing electricity use has a significantly larger impact

on overall Australian Government emissions than

reductions in any other fuel source.

or all, of their electricity from accredited renewable

sources such as the GreenPower initiative, or via

accredited carbon neutral products whose emissions

were offset via Greenhouse Friendly™ approved

abatement activities.16

GreenPower is not technically considered an offset,

but is considered a zero-emissions (carbon neutral)

product. As such, agencies who report 100 per cent

GreenPower also report zero emissions in their carbon

footprint, for office buildings, as it is considered no

emissions were produced throughout the generation

of their electricity.

The overall total percentage of GreenPower

and Greenhouse Friendly™ Electricity in Australian

Government Operations was 8 per cent in 2009-10.

Since the last reporting period the Australian

Government’s use of GreenPower and

Greenhouse Friendly™ Electricity has increased by

28 per cent. Over the last ten years, the amount of

GreenPower and Greenhouse Friendly™ Electricity

used is approximately 20 times greater (increased from

23 208 GJ in 1999-00 to 463 246 GJ in 2009-10).

16 From 01 July 2010, Greenhouse Friendly™ carbon neutral certification was replaced with certification under the Government’s National Carbon Offset Standard (NCOS).

43Emissions Performance: Emissions by End-use Category

Emissions by End-use CategoryTable 7 identifies the total emissions and emissions

intensities across each end-use category. In 2009-10,

Defence Operational Fuel was the end-use category

with the highest emissions of 872 162 tonnes CO2-e,

closely followed by Defence Establishments with

772 608 tonnes CO2-e.

The most emissions intensive end-use categories are

the ones that include electricity powered buildings;

with TLP (272 kg CO2-e /GJ), Computer Centres

(270 kg CO2-e /GJ) and Law Courts (256 kg CO2-e/GJ)

at the top of the list.

The proportions of energy use and greenhouse gas emissions respectively for all end-use categories in 2009-10

can be seen in Figure 13.

Figure 13: Australian Government Energy Use and Emissions by End-use Category, 2009-10

Figure 13 shows, while Defence Operational Fuel uses

a far greater proportion of energy in comparison to the

other thirteen end-use categories (over half of the total

Australian Government energy use); owing to the low

emissions intensity of fuels within this category, it only

accounts for approximately a third of overall emissions.

In contrast, Office – Tenant Light and Power

accounted for six per cent of total energy use but

made up 13 per cent of overall emissions; while

Defence Establishment consumed 15 per cent of

overall energy use but made up over a quarter of total

Australian Government emissions.

End-use categories that are predominantly dependent

on emissions intense fuels such as electricity have

a much greater impact on overall emissions then

other categories such as Transport and Defence

Operational Fuels.

On average, the Australian Government emissions

intensity in 2009-10 was 132 kg of CO2-e per GJ. By

excluding Defence Operational Fuels from the analysis

results an average of the Australian Government

emissions intensity of 202 kg of CO2-e per GJ.

Some portfolios, such as the Climate Change and

Energy Efficiency Portfolio, have a relatively small

emissions profile due the high consumption of carbon

neutral products such as GreenPower and Greenhouse

FriendlyTM electricity.

Data Collection and Validation

Agencies are required to submit their energy use data

using the Online System for Comprehensive Activity

Reporting (OSCAR) by 31 October each year. Energy

performance is reported for agencies as they were

constituted at 30 June of the reporting year. Where key

elements of an agency’s undertakings are moved or

absorbed by another agency, they carry with them the

energy performance for the full financial year.

It is the responsibility of individual agencies to

gather and submit their own data for this report.

The information they enter includes energy use data,

49Index

comments on their energy performance, and their

answers to two questionnaires. The first questionnaire

collects information about green leasing arrangements,

and the second obtains information about the

performance of vehicles in agency fleets with reference

to the Green Vehicle Guide.17

During the submission process, agencies check

and validate their own data. To assist validations,

OSCAR automatically highlights any data variation of

ten per cent or more from the previous year. After

submission, the data is quality checked by DCCEE,

before it is finalised for use in the report.

While DCCEE makes every effort to identify data anomalies

and to have them addressed by the relevant agency, the

final responsibility for the accuracy of the information in

this report rests with individual reporting agencies.

17 The Green Vehicle Guide (GVG) is hosted by the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, and can be viewed at: www.greenvehicleguide.gov.au. The guide allows users to rate recent vehicle models according to their fuel efficiency and emissions performance.

18 Energy Intensity is sometimes termed ‘normalised energy consumption’

19 ‘Person’ is an occupant of the space, m² represents a square metre of building space and km is the distance travelled by a vehicle in kilometres.

Methods

Energy use

Energy use is the total amount of energy consumed by an entity over a financial year.

A range of fuel types are used throughout Australian Government operations. Energy consumption figures

in this report are presented in megajoules (MJ) and gigajoules (GJ).

Example: calculating energy use

A small agency consumes 21 500 kWh of electricity throughout a year to light and power its office.

Using the conversion rate of 3.6 MJ per kWh, total energy consumption is:

21 500 kWh * 3.6 MJ = 77 400 MJ or 77.4 GJ

Energy Intensity

For the purpose of this report energy intensity18 is defined as the total energy use within an end-use category

divided by an appropriate ‘business measure’ such as occupancy, floor area or kilometres travelled.

As such, energy intensity has units of MJ/person, MJ/m² or MJ/km.19

Example: calculating energy intensity

A small agency with 15 employees occupies 350 m² of office space.

During the year, 77 400 MJ of electricity is consumed.

The energy intensity of the agency can be expressed as either:

77 400 MJ/15 people = 5 160 MJ/person or 77 400 MJ/350 m2 = 221 MJ/m2

An energy intensity measure allows the comparison of agencies of different sizes and the measurement of

performance against targets. However, comparing the energy efficiency of Australian Government agencies

is difficult due to its diverse operations and functions. While it is reasonable to compare office buildings with

each other, it would be inappropriate to compare office buildings with laboratories, as they are used for

different purposes.


Emissions Calculations

Emission estimates are calculated using the latest default emission factors established under National Greenhouse

Accounts (NGA) factors20 in accordance with ‘Method 1’ of the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting

(Measurement) Determination, 2008.

The box below provides an example of how emissions are calculated on a state basis. As is shown, the Melbourne

office has a much greater emissions footprint then the Hobart Office as result of Victoria’s electricity generation

being predominantly coal based, while Tasmania’s electricity is hydro based.

Example: calculating emissions

Two office spaces each consume 1 350 000 kWh of electricity a year.

One is in Melbourne; the other is in Hobart.

Emissions factors:21

Victoria: 1.21 kg CO2-e / kWh Tasmania: 0.30 kg CO2-e / kWh

Melbourne office calculation: Hobart office calculation:

1 350 000 * 1.21 = 1 633 500 kg CO2-e 1 350 000 * 0.30 = 405 000 kg CO2-e

= 1 633.5 tonnes CO2-e = 405 tonnes CO2-e

The same electricity consumption results in very different emissions footprints.

In previous reports, emissions data was calculated based on national averages. Since 2007-08, emissions have

been calculated using the latest region and fuel specific conversion factors for the particular financial year.

Emissions Intensity

For the purpose of this report, emissions intensity is defined as the level of emissions per energy unit

for a fuel source, end-use category or agency.

Example: calculating emissions intensity

An agency uses 21 700 GJ of Energy, and emits 1 633.5 tonnes CO2-e

The emissions intensity of the agency can be expressed as:

1 633 500 kg CO2-e / 21 700 GJ = 75.28 kg of CO2-e / GJ

It is important to note that prior to 2007-08 emissions data was calculated based on national averages. Since then

emissions have been calculated on a state bases, making them more accurate and precise than in previous years.22

20 The National Greenhouse Account (NGA) Factors is an annual publication produced by DCCEE for use by companies and individuals to estimate greenhouse gas emissions. The NGA Factors are not published for the purpose of reporting under the EEGO Policy.

21 Electricity emissions factors were sourced from DCCEE, National Greenhouse Accounts (NGA) Factors, 2011, p.19. www.climatechange.gov.au/en/publications/greenhouse-acctg/national-greenhouse-factors

22 All previous iterations of the ‘Energy Use in Australian Government Operations’ prior to 2007-08, applied national average greenhouse coefficients to the total consumption of each fuel type to determine the greenhouse gas emissions. By using a national average coefficient for electricity, the calculated emissions have been approximate, due to the different ways that electricity is generated in each state or territory. Where possible, from the 2007-08 report onwards, electricity emissions have been calculated with reference to the appropriate state or territory.

Annex B: Australian Government Agency Ranking Tables

Annex B.1: Office – Tenant Light and Power (TLP) 2009–10

This table presents the performance of each agency that reported Office – Tenant Light and Power. Performance

is arranged in ascending order of the key energy performance indicator (MJ/person/annum).

Agencies which appear in the green section have already achieved the Energy Efficiency in Government Operations

(EEGO) Policy target of 7 500 MJ/person/annum. The yellow band reflects those agencies which are trending toward

the EEGO target, but are below the previous policy target of 10 000 MJ/person/annum. The red band indicates

agencies that are considerably higher than the EEGO target.

Small agencies with less than 100 staff sometimes have limited opportunities to average their performance

across their property portfolio and so their energy intensity performance can be volatile.

Agency comments on their performance are provided in the online database.

As there are no set targets for Passenger Vehicles, the agencies which appear in green represent those performing

below 3.00 MJ/km. Agencies in the yellow part of the table are close to the Australian Government average.

The red section indicates agencies with an energy intensity of 4.00 MJ/km or more.
