We all use electricity and water, so we all have a role in preparing for the future.
Everyone makes energy and water choices every day: families, individuals, businesses, industry and government. Today's choices will make all the difference to our future.
The Australian Government are fully funding home sustainability assessments (valued at $250) that recommend tailored energy and water savings options. These may range from simple actions like switching to energy efficient lights and replacing shower heads, to larger scale changes such as installing water or energy saving products like rainwater tanks or solar panels.
EcoMaster has been instumental in training Home Sustainability Assessors and has a team of accredited assessors available to undertake your Home Sustainability Assessment now.

Important Changes to the Program Announced 19 February 2010
The Minister for the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and The Arts, The Hon Peter Garrett, announced changes to the Green Loans program on Friday 19 February. More details about changes to the program can be found at www.environment.gov.au/greenloans.
The two major changes are that another 600,00 assessments have been released and that the subsidised loan component of the program has been discontinued.
If you have had an assessment but do not have your report, you can send an email to glassessors@environment.gov.au quoting your name, address, assessment booking number and assessment date and request that they email you a copy of the report.
Home Sustainability Assessments are still available
The Green Loans program originally planned to provide 360,000 assessments to householders around Australia. This component of the program has been extended with an additional 600,000 assessments now available.
If you have not had an assessment already, this is a great opportunity to consider having an assessor give you advice on how you can make your home more sustainable.
