The Alice Springs Reptile Centre has reduced energy use by 20% and achieved eco-tourism accreditation.

After their commercial energy survey in April 2009, Alice Springs Reptile Centre has reduced their electricity consumption by over 20% - a great achievement! They’ve accomplished this by installing:

ceiling insulation
energy efficient lighting
solar hot water with a one shot booster
shading and tinting on sun exposed window
painting the roof white

Alice Springs Reptile Centre has also installed an 11.4 kW rooftop solar power system that provides over 45% of their electricity needs.

These measures have saved an excess of $6,000 in electricity costs and 22 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per annum.
