Building Futures
Building Futures is a free Council program aiming to help selected larger strata buildings (35+ units) save money on their energy and water bills and to improve environmental performance.
We work hand-in-hand with participating buildings to easily identify and implement cost-effective solutions that:
- Reduce operating costs
- Reduce common area energy use
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
- Reduce water use
- Improve waste management
Participating buildings receive FREE:
- Expert energy assessments of common areas
- Costed upgrade recommendations
- Solar power screening to identify buildings with good potential for rooftop solar power
- Project management and implementation support
- Access to Sydney Water’s WaterFIX program for high-water users
- Access to Waverley Council’s Apartment Recycling Improvement Program
- Recognition and promotion of participation in the program
- Learning & knowledge-sharing opportunities
All participating buildings will work towards a shared energy goal: reduce common property energy by 15%. All works this round will be carried out in a Covid-safe manner in adherence to NSW Public Health Orders.
Building Futures Round 4
Council is currently working with five strata buildings in Round 4 of the Building Futures Program, including:
- Harley Place, Oxford St, Bondi Junction
- Genoa Apartments, Ebley St, Bondi Junction
- Harbourview Apartments, Oxford St, Bondi Junction
- Ascot Court, Ocean St, North Bondi
- 33 Ocean St, North Bondi
Further resources
A total of 30 apartment buildings have already participated in previous rounds of Building Futures. Collectively these buildings have achieved an average energy saving of 23%, saved thousands of dollars per year on their energy and water bills and reduced their climate impact.
Check out the below case studies from successful buildings:
