With two teams battling out whether to renovate or rebuild a home, homeowners need to decide who to choose. How? With a little bit of expert advice and input on the overall sustainability, design and price that either team renovate, or re-build, proposes. Through Energy Matters supporting either choice, we hope to influence the families around Australia to be more energy conscious in the way they design, create, or renovate a property. Energy Matters is delighted to showcase some incredible technology in the NSW episodes of Renovate or Rebuild (highlighted below) which has been installed by our amazing Solar Retailer partners and expert installers Smart Energy Answers and All Star Energy.

NSW Emissions vs Other States

Australia’s total greenhouse gas emissions was 535 million tonnes CO2-e in 2017. With 131.7 million of that total, NSW is the second most polluting state, with QLD taking the title and VIC following closely behind.

NSW’s total energy usage and emissions is almost solely attributed to burning fossil fuels. Over 99% of NSW’s emissions from stationary energy (all fossil fuels (gas and coal) used in electricity generation) are from coal-fired stations. in 2017, only 16% of NSW’s energy was sourced from renewable energy sources.
