ClimateSmart In Queensland
Posted by Big Gav in queensland, smart grids, smart meters
The Queensland state government will be rolling out smart meters to all who want them as part of their ClimateSmart initiative next year. The meters will display electricity usage, cost and carbon emissions (hat tip Ben).
The Queensland Government has announced a new service to help Queenslanders tackle climate change and reduce their greenhouse emissions around the home.
The new ClimateSmart Home Service, which will start from 1 January 2009, will improve energy efficiency in households across Queensland.
The service will operate in a similar manner to the successful Home WaterWise Service.
For a $50 service fee, a qualified tradesperson will visit your home to conduct an energy audit, provide energy advice, install energy saving tools such as a household energy monitor and a water efficient showerhead, and also supply 15 compact fluorescent light globes.
