Arcitecta is a local company with a global influence, specialising in helping organisations manage and use very large datasets.
They have committed to minimising their environmental impact and have brought their historic Northcote headquarters into the modern age with many sustainable features. They are all-electric with no gas connection, use LED lighting, have heat pumps for heating and cooling, an 18kW solar power system and battery storage. This makes an old building that could be a nightmare into a comfortable, efficient and low-cost office.
You can view a short video about their Go Electric journey here.
If you are a local Darebin business or organisation that wants to jump on board the all electric transition, we can help you through our Energy$mart program. Energy$mart can help you upgrade to an efficient split system for heating and cooling and heat pump for hot water. Our program connects you to reputable installers and products, offers support and a rebate of up to $1,000 on top of other government subsidies.
