Project and Equipment Upgrade Rebates
At EC Focus, we help businesses in NSW and VIC unlock financial rewards for custom energy efficiency projects through the PIAM&V and PBA methods under the ESS and VEU schemes. These methods are designed for complex or large-scale upgrades—such as HVAC, BMS, or industrial process improvements—where energy savings can’t be estimated using fixed values.
Instead, savings are calculated based on real, measured energy use before and after the upgrade. This tailored approach allows for greater flexibility and often delivers higher certificate yields and faster returns on investment.
Navigating the detailed measurement and verification requirements can be challenging—but that’s where we come in. As one of the few accredited experts with deep experience across diverse upgrade scenarios, EC Focus manages the process end-to-end, ensuring compliance and maximising the financial outcomes for your project.

These upgrades not only cut waste management expenses but also support a more sustainable, circular economy. Let us help you find the right solution to improve your business’s waste efficiency and environmental impact.
