Proposal for CBD Program to extend to shopping centres and
hotels
Introduction
Earlier this year, The Department of the Environment and Energy
engaged The Centre for International Economics (CIE) to undertake
an independent review of the Commercial Building Disclosure
(CBD) Program and its enabling legislation - the
Building Energy Efficiency Disclosure (BEED)
Act 2010 (Cth) (BEED Act).
CIE's Issues Paper (Issues Paper) focused
on a number of specific reference points and invited written and
oral submissions over the course of the year. With a final report
due imminently, in this update, we will consider one of the
reference points addressed in the Issues Paper to expand the
operation of the CBD Program to include other high energy-using
classes of buildings, such as shopping centres and hotels.
