It is then measured against a nationally regulated benchmark. This allows building owners to know how much energy their building uses, but also to compare this against buildings of a similar type. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the regulations were gazetted in December 2021 the City introduced its energy performance compliance initiative while using the opportunity to bolster the City\u2019s building energy data collection systems through the state-of-the-art SmartFacility platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mayco member for energy Beverley van Reenen says the City has made great strides in complying with the regulations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are leading by example and this is a testament to the City\u2019s commitment to reducing its energy usage and to addressing climate change. Climate action is a team effort and we call on other property owners to collect their own energy data to see what opportunities there are for greater efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur EPC compliance initiative is one of the City\u2019s important steps towards achieving the net zero carbon municipal buildings target by 2030 and the broader city-wide ambition to be carbon neutral by 2050.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 22 City buildings that have energy performance certificates are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>50 Wale Street municipal
