HILTON SYDNEY CONFERENCE AND FUNCTION CENTRE Project Overview Hilton Sydney is home to one of the country’s most versatile event spaces with its purpose-built conference and function centre, spanning 4 floors with state-of-the-art technology and smart ambient lighting suitable for a wide range of events. Energy use and maintenance costs were on the rise, with the existing downlights aging and depreciating in performance when Hilton Sydney engaged Energy Conservation to support their upgrade to more energy-efficient lighting. With performance-based lighting design, government approval of light fixtures and the creation of Energy Savings Certificates, Energy Conservation was proud to assist in the delivery of a customised solution representing a substantial reduction in energy and maintenance costs to the customer. The Energy Savings Certificates we generated offset the project costs by more than 22% and the hotel now saves over 233 MWh per year off its annual energy bills.

ABC CASTINGS RECYCLING EQUIPMENT Project Overview ABC Castings is a nonferrous metal casting business producing components for use in heavy industry, infrastructure and manufacturing. The castings are often made in hardened sand-based moulds, bonded with resin or clay, which are broken off the finished casting at the end of the process and cannot be reused unless they are refined back to sand. Prior to working with Energy Conservation over 200 tonnes of resin sand per annum was being lost this way to landfill. An assessor from Energy Conservation visited the business to conduct a visual waste assessment, interview the business owner and gather evidence from waste bills and procurement orders. The owner recognised that more efficient use of materials would reduce waste to landfill and cut operating costs. A proposal was submitted for the purchase of sand recovery and associated dust extraction equipment which, supported by the evidence collected by our assessor was approved by the NSW EPA. The business could then proceed to purchase their new equipment with 45% of the purchase cost guaranteed in rebate funding. With their new equipment installed, ABC Castings now reuses more than 90% of their resin sand and saves over $63,000 per year in waste disposal costs.

LINFOX - MARS FOODS WAREHOUSE Project Overview Located in Berkeley Vale, Wyong Shire, on the Central Coast of NSW and only minutes from the Mars Foods owned Masterfood’s manufacturing site, is the home of the Linfox Distribution Warehouse. Responsible for picking and despatching domestic Australian orders and exports to New Zealand and the Middle East for Mars Foods. Occupying 32,500 SQM of floor space, Both companies have a long-standing commitment to a safe work environment and sustainability through lower carbon footprint reduced greenhouse emissions and energy efficiency.

130 GEORGE ST LIFT UPGRADE Project Overview 130 George Street is a 5-star NABERS energy-rated building with 14 levels of office space owned and managed by Dexus. The building uses seven lifts which were nearing the end of their operational life when an upgrade was initiated in 2015. Prior to the upgrade, Dexus installed sub-metering of the lift system. This allowed the impact of the upgrade to be measured by providing energy consumption data both before and after the upgrade. Energy Conservation was engaged to verify the energy savings according to the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol, providing the expert analysis and interpretation needed to translate the raw data into useful information for the building manager and create financial rewards in the form of Energy Savings Certificates. We found that the upgrade resulted in average annual savings of 83% in energy needed to power the lifts and cool the motor room. Our engineers were able to quantify and verify this reduction in energy consumption to an international standard as well as state the confidence interval and the precision of the annual savings that resulted. Our broad experience managing projects involving numerous interested parties enabled us to smoothly coordinate the supply of information to deliver this project quickly and professionally.

HARBOURLIGHTS MILSONS POINT Project Overview A prestigious 13 storey apartment building located in Sydney's iconic Milsons Point, Harbourlights was taking part in the My Green Apartment program run by North Sydney Council which provided energy efficiency training and advice. Faced with rising costs associated with ongoing maintenance and electricity prices, the Strata Committee decided to upgrade their ageing common area lighting with energy efficient lighting systems. Working with experienced solutions provider Illumelec, the Strata Committee chose to replace the inefficient fluorescent lights in the car park and fire stairs with LED Battens plus motion sensors and programmable dimming. Energy Conservation was engaged as Accredited Certificate Provider to document the project and compile the evidence required for creation of Energy Savings Certificates under the NSW Energy Savings Scheme. The support provided by Energy Conservation reduced project costs, ensured lighting performance exceeded Australian standards and provided third party verification of project savings. Following these upgrades, Harbourlights saw their power bills decrease during a period when electricity prices went up by 26%.

Climate Transition At EC Focus, we guide your decarbonisation journey every step of the way — from where you are today to achieving your short-, medium-, and long-term goals. We help you navigate evolving climate regulations while supporting your transition. Our services include carbon footprint analysis, strategic planning, and the identification and prioritisation of decarbonisation opportunities across your operations and value chain. GHG Inventory We can only manage what we measure! We help businesses measure, track, and report greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with clarity and confidence. Our process follows the GHG Protocol and includes value chain mapping, materiality analysis, and defining inventory boundaries. We ensure transparent calculations with clear assumptions and emission factors. As a result, you will receive a customised tool, making future reporting simple and scalable. Climate Target Setting The Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) is the leading global framework for setting climate targets aligned with the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. The process involves measuring current emissions, assessing sector-specific pathways, setting a clear timeline (short, medium, or long term), and modelling targets using the latest tools and guidelines. Companies with established climate targets generally invest more in decarbonisation efforts compared to those without such goals. So, if you are aiming to get traction on decarbonisation, that might be the perfect place to start! Decarbonisation Plan Our Decarbonisation Plan helps organisations identify and prioritise emission reduction opportunities through a clear and actionable strategy. By using a Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC), we assess the cost-effectiveness of various mitigation measures, visually representing abatement options alongside their potential emissions reductions, associated costs, and available financial incentives for implementation. This allows you to make informed decisions and prioritise investments effectively. Mandatory climate reporting Mandatory Climate Reporting (ASRS) requires Australian companies to disclose climate-related risks and emissions from 2025, in line with global standards (IFRS S2 and TCFD). Covering governance, strategy, targets, and Scope 1–3 emissions, the framework ensures consistent reporting on both physical and transition risks. Early compliance not only avoids regulatory and reputational risks but also helps companies strengthen resilience, attract capital, and build investor trust.
