"The State Government has announced a $2 million Sustainable Building Innovation Fund to help drastically cut the greenhouse gas emissions of South Australia’s commercial buildings.
Premier Mike Rann, who is also Minister for Sustainability & Climate Change, said Adelaide’s commercial buildings emit over one million tonnes of greenhouse gas every year.
“Improving the sustainability of these buildings could help cut their emissions and running costs by over 20 percent and could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 70,000 tonnes a year - or close to one-and-a-half billion black balloons,” Mr Rann said."
