Auckland Council is succeeding in reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainability across its $11 billion portfolio of assets.
Parks and community facilities make up 75 per cent of Auckland Council’s carbon emissions, and Council says it is committed to achieving environmental and social sustainability through meaningful climate action.
The council has installed a fin pellet boiler at the Winter Gardens to replace the previous gas heating system, at Albany Stadium Pool, a 206-kilowatt peak solar system generates 286,843 kilowatt-hours of solar energy annually, and Moana-Nui-a-Kiwa Leisure Centre in MÄngere has transitioned from gas boilers to electric heat pumps.
