Impact so far

Last year's inaugural recipient, energy scorecard assessor Alex Fry, used the scholarship to show how a standard rental property in Brompton, an inner city suburb of Adelaide, could be transformed into a 10-star energy-rated home. Through targeted upgrades, the house became more affordable to run and more comfortable to live in — proving what’s possible when innovation meets advocacy.
