<h2 class="sectHeading">About</h2></span><p>
The project involved the roll-out of over 450 smart meters as well as a number of retrofit projects. These include energy efficient lighting, solar water heaters, HVAC (heating, ventilating and air-conditioning), solar PV, and educating building managers and occupants about the project. </p><p>At present, the City has retrofitted 18 of its buildings with energy efficient technology and a further 11 have been retrofitted with LED lighting and motion sensors. The LED lighting retrofit programme at the Civic Centre will save the City 5 225MWh annually.</p>
