[Section/Item] Section as516A(6)(d) [Activity/Contribution] Energy savings were achieved through the implementation of lighting strategies and a new building management system, the provision of a power factor correction which is aimed at reducing the overall operating cost by $8000 per annum, and the revision of the existing gas contract Review of the Museum's recycling program led to an increase in paper, toner cartridge and glass/plastic bottles recycling in the administration areas as well as day-to-day waste in the café areas Ensuring all cleaning chemicals used by the Museum's cleaning contractors met the specifications set out in AS/ANZ ISO 14001:1996 'Environmental Management Systems - Specification with guidance for use' and AS/ANZ ISO 14004:1996 'Environmental Management Systems - General guidelines of principles, systems, and supporting techniques' Installation of a new energy monitoring system together with independent monitoring of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system to enable tracking of energy usage at Acton Following a review of gas usage, the annual contracted quantity of gas was reduced, resulting in a 28% saving in gas energy costs in 2002-2003. See table below Changes to exhibition lighting with the replacement of 50 watt dichroic lighting by 35 watt lighting thereby creating a higher light output but reduced colour fade. The lighting will also reduce energy lighting costs by approximately 10-15 per cent in 2003-2004 Changes to the programming of the lighting control systems and reduction of the wattage of lighting in the Hall from 500 watts to 300 watts resulting in reduced power consumption, increased lamp life and improved lighting conditions on cloudy days. This methodology will be extended throughout the galleries and operational areas in 2003-2004 Changes to the temperature and humidification control strategies improved the humidity control in the gallery areas and it is hoped will also lead to reduced energy consumption. The new energy monitoring system will also allow tracking of changes in energy usage when operational and control strategies are revised Ongoing protection of culturally significant sites on the Acton Peninsula, in conjunction with the National Capital Authority Provision of alternative homes for local arboreal mammals when disrupted by Museum works to ensure its impact on local wildlife is minimised [Requirement]
