Zero Carbon Australia Buildings Plan

The ZCA Buildings Plan is the first comprehensive, nation-wide retrofit plan for Australia's buildings. It shows how existing buildings can reach zero carbon emissions in 10 years, using available and affordable technology.

The Zero Carbon Australia Buildings Plan will:

• Halve Australia's building energy use;
• Fully retrofit existing buildings for higher comfort;
• Install 33GW of rooftop solar;
• Raise the bar on appliance performance;
• Protect against rising gas prices;
• Go gas-free by installing highly efficient electric technologies;
• Give energy freedom to millions of homeowners;
• Create tens of thousands of new jobs.

By implementing this plan, building owners will reduce their energy bills, generate energy income, and improve the comfort, resilience, and enjoyment of the spaces they live and work in.
