Abstract	The Government has identified energy efficiency as the fourth ‘major element ’ of its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions mitigation strategy. This note shows how energy efficiency has the potential to harness larger cost greenhouse gas emissions abatement than through emissions trading in the Government’s Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS). It is likely that some 40 million tonnes of GHG emissions reductions could be achieved each year by 2030 from energy efficiency in the building sector. These figures are based on expected outcomes given the application of well known, tried and tested energy efficiency techniques to the stock of buildings. While not costless, the costs of these measures would be more than offset by the value of energy savings over time. The CPRS will be effective in reducing emissions from the purchase of energy in the building sector. There is a gap, however, between the savings achievable in the building sector from the CPRS and those that could be obtained if additional energy efficiency measures could realise the full emissions reduction potential. Some of this gap will be closed by the recently announced measures to insulate uninsulated houses, but many other potential savings remain untapped. Energy efficiency in the building sector could be of particular significance in the ACT. CIE estimates that building sector emissions amount to 68 per cent of scope 2 emissions in the ACT.
