(1) The Energy Smart Government policy requires government agencies with 25 or more FTE's to report and manage all energy used in their buildings, plants and equipment. The Department for Child Protection (DCP) is required to develop an Energy Management Plan outlining steps for implementing energy management, and identifying and implementing energy efficiency initiatives.
The Energy Management Plan will:
1. Require site inspections to assess energy efficient opportunities
2. Identify limitations for energy conservation (e.g. age of buildings, projected life cycle and design limitations)
3. Identify opportunities to reduce energy consumption and improve measurement and performance
4. Produce an action plan in conjunction with DCP that includes energy efficient actions and timelines, monitoring and auditing schedules and resourcing requirements
5. Produce a realistic energy target for DCP.
