Yolk Property Group has partnered with Curtin University, LandCorp, Solar Balance, Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), Low Carbon Living Cooperative Research Centre and Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Centre (CSIRO) to deliver Evermore WGV, with ARENA providing a $280,000 grant to aid Yolk Property Group deliver the project.
As part of this, the development is pioneering the use of shared solar technology in a large-scale strata (apartment) setting with a governance model developed by the Curtin University Sustainability Policy Institute. It’s estimated that the technology will save residents 30% on their electricity bills.
Real-time measurement and recording of water and power consumption will also give residents greater control over their energy usage and ensure maximum energy-efficiency.
