What are the benefits of the Best Practice Tracker?
It's easy to use and doesn't require detailed research or investigation.
You don't need to know a lot about energy efficiency.
You can enter actions already taken to improve energy efficiency.
It generates a number of clear, simple graphs and rankings such as:
- Annual energy use (GJ) (see below)
- Electricity use (kWh)
- Gas use (GJ)
- Energy use/ Number of full time staff
- Energy use/ m2 (Building area)

What will your facility be benchmarked against?
The Best Practice Tracker is pre-loaded with data from Victorian local government facilities which have been professionally audited. This ensures valuable benchmarking information is available right away.
As more councils input data to the Best Practice Tracker , the store of reference facilities will grow. This will provide more rigorous benchmarking.
Based on real experience
The energy conservation measures in the Best Practice Tracker are based on the outcomes of similar measures undertaken after auditing of a large number of council facilities. As a result the Best Practice Tracker is able to more accurately estimate the costs and benefits of various measures.
Helping you save energy
In addition to establishing a benchmark for your organisation, the Best Practice Tracker also identifies a range of options to help your organisation improve its energy efficiency. After selecting your proposed energy saving actions, you will receive a report of your potential energy savings.
