Sustainability Tips

The average Victorian spends approximately $2,800 on their annual energy bill, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Your apartment is designed to meet strict energy efficiency standards to help keep your home as comfortable and affordable to run year-round. We’ve provided some additional tips below to help you stay comfortable while reducing your bills.

Your new home is equipped with a ‘Green Switch’.

The “Light Globe” switch on the panel next to your front door is connected to all the lighting in your home. When you flick the switch to the off position, all of your LED downlights will be turned off. When you turn it back on, all lights that were previously on, will turn back on.

The “Home” switch on the same panel next to your front door is connected to a select few power points throughout your home.

When you flick the switch to the off position, items plugged into these power points will be turned-off even if they are in “stand-by mode” saving electricity when they’re not in use. When you turn it back on, those items plugged-in will start receiving power again and will turn back on.

Plug those items into these ports that you don’t necessarily want turned-on all the time. Items like your TV, kettle and toaster, chargers and even your electric toothbrush.
