Modtank
Rain water harvesting is a much neglected aspect of energy assessments, however, thanks to the efforts of Stephen Collis from Modtank we are now able to make available a brilliant guide to all you need to know about this topic.
The Assessors guide combines practical household information with technical rainwater tank design and installation – handbook HB230. http://modtank.com.au/pdf/sar_guide_assessor.pdf

AZZO Automation
As energy costs continue to rise, consumers are looking for new ways to reduce energy consumption, helping them save money and reduce carbon emissions. AZZO Automation provides specialised services to deliver innovative and practical solutions to today's challenges in Clean Technology. They offer a suite of energy management solutions for commercial buildings, industrial sites, data-centres, small businesses, and most recently, residential homes. AZZO Automation's range of energy management solutions enable customers to cost effectively obtain accurate energy profiles without incurring significant capital costs for installation of metering hardware and reporting software.
The web-hosted service allows clients to easily turn their metered usage and other recorded data into actionable information, accessible live on the internet via a web browser. Customers can collect detailed power and energy data as well as other consumable resources such as water, compressed air, gas and steam. This data allows them to track real-time energy resource consumption, analyse power quality and reliability, and respond to alarms on user definable conditions. Customers can also study historical trends to reveal energy waste or unused capacity, allocate costs to buildings, departments or processes and determine performance baselines to verify energy efficiency and carbon emissions improvements. Using new technologies, their engineers have developed energy management services, enabling consumers to measure, visualise, report, and control energy consumption.

Power-Mate
There is currently much discussion and concern about stand-by power, the high cost of electricity, greenhouse gas emissions, natural resources and the environment.
The Power-Mate is an exciting new product developed by CCI working closely with EnergySA Staff, which meets these challenges head-on. It offers something for everyone. At last, you can have some control over your electricity account, help preserve our natural resources and have a beneficial influence on our environment.
Find out the running cost of an appliance. Determine the amount of greenhouse gas liberated when using an appliance. If I use a different thermostat setting or change the running time, what savings will result?
What is the mains voltage supplied to our house? How much current does this item draw? Is the wattage used the same as that shown on the unit's label? How much stand-by power are all the appliances consuming when left on & what do they cost? What VCR or TV do I purchase - let the stand-by running cost help you choose. Remember it is not only the purchase price that you pay - in the long term the stand-by power could effectively double the actual cost.

Energy Leaks
In many older and also in new homes and commercial buildings, improper installation, poor workmanship, inferior materials, and aging components may result in high energy consumption. In addition, many problems related to heat leakage can lead to future expensive repairs if they are not identified and addressed promptly. Since many of these problems are invisible to the naked eye, they may be missed during a conventional inspection. That's why you could use an Energy Leaks Assessment!

Saver Group
Apart from the obvious technical benefits I have always seen a 'marketing' benefit for assessors because they will certainly impress your clients.
The building sector offers the largest single potential for improving energy efficiency and here in Australia we as a distributor for Flir Thermal Infrared Cameras are able to offer you the range of Flir Cameras for the built environment.
A FLIR video is running on the opening page of www.energyefficientbuilding.com.au in your City which you might find interesting.
The big problem has always been the capital cost - especially at a time when most assessors have been suffering financial stress due to assessment restrictions. However, the good news is:-
- a) They have come down in price
- b) You can now buy them thru a financial package for between $3.13 per day and $4.68 per day
My suggestion is that you call the Saver Group on 1800 44 2520 - ask for John Tilden - who is an assessor too and have a chat and get all the details.
