Guidelines

Th is booklet outlines why and how schools can reduce energy use and cost. Why schools are considering energy efficiency is summarised in the introduction; how they are going about it is detailed in four case studies.

There are three planning templates and a schedule to assist schools. Those schools that have built energy efficiency into the curriculum have been especially successful in making change to their energy-use practices.

Businesses that enjoy maximum ROI on their energy efficiency investments follow ‘best practice' project management processes. This resource identifies the steps that are most frequently overlooked and why they're important.

This document provides guidance and information to assist with the approval processes and requirements for small-scale distributed renewable energy generation technologies in New Zealand.

Forestry and wood processing residues are a potentially significant source of bio-energy fuels. For a variety of reasons storage of these materials prior to utilisation is often necessary. The storage of comminuted (chipped, hogged, shredded or reduced to small particle size by other means (sawing or sanding)) biomass, particularly fresh (green) material such as logging residues can lead to degradation of the fuel due to biological and thermo-chemical processes.
