Built in 1987, Windsor Plaza hosts 154 apartments over 18 storeys.
We awarded the owners corporation 2 grants to rate the building’s environmental performance and get an energy action plan.
An initial report revealed several measures could be introduced with an average payback period of about 3 years.
The measures were projected to reduce electricity use by nearly $20,000 a year while saving $5,000 a year on maintenance costs.

- The initial round of energy efficiency improvements resulted in a remarkable 28% reduction in electricity use.
- The electricity generated from the newly installed solar panels is primarily consumed within the building, effectively reducing the reliance on grid electricity.
- Windsor Plaza proudly achieved a 5-star NABERS energy rating.
