Commercial buildings are responsible for approximately 10% of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions. Building owners, occupiers and facility managers can all benefit from improving their energy efficiency.

Enhancing the sustainability of commercial buildings can deliver savings on energy and building maintenance costs, increase building value and foster more engaged workers.

The rapid rise in energy costs and our increased focus on reducing energy consumption has prompted a review of how we heat and cool buildings. A range of methods are now used in the design and construction of buildings to conserve energy and facilitate its sustainable use.

One of the most simple and effective solutions is to install a draft seal to doors of air-conditioned environments. These seals provide a simple infiltration barrier to hot and cool air, and the latent energy it contains. They can immediately increase comfort levels and assist with the control of cold drafts or rain infiltration.
