Hornsby's Energy Performance Contract (EPC) was a key element of the corporate section of council's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategy, an action plan that aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions resulting from Hornsby Council's own activities by 20% by 2010.
The implementation of the EPC is predicted to reduce the Hornsby's energy usage by approximately 20% per year, save 34,200 kiloliters of water per year (a reduction of 19%) and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 780 tonnes per year (an 18% reduction in emissions).
