Abstract

To reach the ambitious goal of carbon neutrality by 2020 in Yarra, the Yarra Energy Foundation leads projects like the Total Yarra Retrofit initiative, a proposed city-wide sustainability retrofit. We examined plans for similar projects and determined a method for choosing commercial buildings on Bridge Road in Richmond to retrofit. By focusing initial efforts on large commercial properties, Yarra can help build a more sustainable future. Our formative research can be utilized by other locations aiming to do the same.

Final Report
