Request for Melbourne based institution participation
ACTS and AYCC are developing a partnership to deliver a program that will involve tertiary students mentoring high school students through the Switched on Schools campaign. AYCC has secured funding from the City of Melbourne to commence a pilot of the programme and as a result are looking for 3 Melbourne based institutions to take part. The attached flyer will provide more information.
If you have any questions or are interested in being involved please contact:

Request for building and energy consumption data
Sustainable thinking company, pitt&sherry, is leading a major national study from the Federal Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency (DCCEE), which will build – for the first time in Australia – a comprehensive model of the stock and energy use of non-residential buildings in Australia. This model will be used to inform energy and climate policies, and summary data only will be published as a “baseline study” by mid 2012.
To date, pitt&sherry has been able to garner a great deal of information from organisation across Australia, however, data from the tertiary education sector is sadly lacking. In this context, pitt&sherry would like to request your co-operation in this important project. On behalf of the DCCEE, pitt&sheery would be most grateful to receive from you any or all the following stat with respect to buildings and energy consumption:
- Floor area, in total or by building type;
- Numbers of buildings by type;
- Energy consumption by fuel for the above;
- End-use data for the above (eg. break-downs by lighting, HVAC, process, etc);
- Time-series data for the above, if available (1999 is the first year covered by this study).
Critically, and as detailed in the attached letter, any data you are able to provide will only be published in confidentialised form – unless you give specific permission that disaggregated data may be published.
