The effects of climate change are impacting the world, with water scarcity and carbon emissions threatening our planet. In the face of these issues, communities need to do what they can to implement positive change and reduce the impact they have on the environment and on finite natural resources. By choosing renewable energy sources, monitoring energy and water usage, and utilising recycled water wherever possible, individuals and communities can make a difference.
We’ll be exploring how future communities can be built with sustainability in mind by tackling major issues such as climate change and water scarcity, how we can create more sustainable communities with water and energy solutions, and how Altogether Group is helping communities and the environment.
Building sustainable communities in the future is key in preserving our precious natural resources and reducing human impact on the environment. By starting with individuals and local communities, it is possible to educate the masses about the importance of utility preservation and to make a real difference across the country and across the world.
At Altogether Group, building sustainable communities is our mission. Through the use of embedded networks and promoting renewable energy, we can reduce the carbon footprint of communities, creating a safer and more sustainable future for all. Our vision for the future involves the preservation of natural resources, cost benefits for residents, and stronger communities.
With water scarcity creating uncertainty about future water access, it’s essential that we make efforts to reduce our water wastage. This can be done by reducing unnecessary water consumption, and also by utilising recycled water when possible. Our recycled water services involve a circular approach that treats stormwater and wastewater that can be reutilised. For laundry and garden uses, for example, it’s possible to reduce waste of drinking water by 70% by using recycled water. By managing the entire water cycle, we help to develop and deliver local sustainability strategies for building owners and managers, for communities, and for future generations as well.
In addition to our water services, we also offer embedded networks that act as private microgrids that provide electricity to apartment buildings, small communities and commercial buildings. Electricity can be bought in bulk for the entire community, lowering costs, and giving customers control over where they source their energy from and how it is consumed.
There are many benefits to choosing sustainable utility services. By implementing renewable water services, the effects of climate change can be reduced, water security can be strengthened, and the overall liveability of communities can be enhanced. With energy services, using embedded networks and smart metering, residents can reduce the amount of energy wastage, not only helping to reduce environmental impact but also the cost of energy too.
By collaborating with developers, state governments, and local communities, we are working on building long-lasting infrastructure that will help the environment. Green building ratings and certifications including BASIX and Green Star provide a framework for sustainable development, and by incorporating water-saving initiatives into these standards, we look to drive industry-wide change. Building sustainable communities is an ongoing task that doesn’t happen overnight. It takes sustained effort from all stakeholders involved to make green decisions that benefit residents and the environment. With the help of local communities and relevant stakeholders, we can ensure that our future is bright and sustainable.
