This programme plans to make a number of government and public organizations climate neutral by 2025. It includes measures such as:
- Phasing out coal-fired boilers from the public sector, with a focus on removing the largest and most active by the end of 2025
- Optimising the size of agencies’ car fleets and purchasing electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids if a full electric is not appropriate, unless this is not possible due to operational requirements (for those mandated to apply the Government Procurement Rules)
- Requiring NABERSNZ, a system for rating the energy efficiency of office buildings, from January 2021 for agencies that occupy large office space (over 2,000m2) and are covered by the Property Functional Leadership mandate
