Applications are now open.

Funding to upgrade 50 underperforming commercial buildings

Sustainability Victoria’s Better Commercial Buildings program will support owners of Victoria’s commercial buildings and tenancies (including offices, hotels, retail, and data centres) to identify and implement energy efficiency upgrades that lead to an improvement in building performance.

Recipients of the last building upgrade program reported:

  • Reduction in energy billing costs
  • Decreased maintenance costs
  • Reduction in tenant complaints
  • Increased asset value and appeal to prospective tenants, and

The program will also provide access to a facilitation service for participants wishing to access third party finance for upgrades.
