MEDIA RELEASE: Zero emissions homes within reach
In the wake of Victoria's warmest and driest winter on record, environment groups today called for new building standards to reduce emissions and water use, and to help the state's homes and families cope with future temperature and price shocks.
The call coincides with the release of a new report today, which shows that with the right government support and with efforts to fast‐track stronger environmental building standards, Victorian homes and neighbourhoods could be emissions‐free and water efficient by 2020.
The report, Towards climate safe homes: The case for zero emissions and water saving homes and neighbourhoods, was prepared by Environment Victoria in partnership with the Alternative Technology Association (ATA), Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF), Friends of the Earth (FoE) and the Moreland Energy Foundation (MEFL).

Solar Credits and the RET - MEFL Submission
MEFL's submission to the review of review the RET scheme, looking specifically at whether adjustments should be made to the RET scheme to account for 'phantom RECs' created by Solar Credits.
The submission calls for:
* the immediate adjustment of annual RET targets, ongoing on an annual basis, to take into account the effect of the Solar Credits scheme; and
* the transition to a gross national feed-in tariff for small scale renewable energy and a national energy efficiency target scheme for energy efficiency technologies such as solar hot water.
