Our Goal

The overarching goal of environmental engineering company CarbonetiX is to help its customers achieve a 15 million tonne greenhouse gas saving by 2015. This corresponds to the annual carbon emissions of the Hazelwood Power Station, which is thought to be one of the southern hemisphere's dirtiest power plant. The principal driver of all CarbonetiX activities, therefore, is lowering carbon emissions.

Our History

CarbonetiX is owned and managed by Bruce Rowse (B Eng (Mech), MBA). Bruce began CarbonetiX in 2002 after deciding to personally act on his concerns for our world’s future.

Bruce is a member of the Australian Institute of Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Heating (AIRAH) and the Alternative Technology Association. He is an AIRAH accredited energy auditor, and also holds a “D” class electrical licence.

CarbonetiX is an organisation that has embedded innovation into their culture and often conducts case studies, trials and other research and development activities.

Please find below some of the results from these activities:

Pool Blanket Implementation Assessment CarbonetiX conducted an energy and water audit at the Ringwood Aquatic Centre at the end of 2008 as part of the Maroondah City Council’s greenhouse reduction strategy. During the audit the implementation of pool covers was recommended. Following our recommendations, the council purchased and installed the pool covers during the middle of 2009. Since then, CarbonetiX has been monitoring the gas bills to ascertain the actual savings achieved from this measure. Download the full report

The Viability Of LED Lighting As A Substitute For The Fluorescent Tube CarbonetiX, with the support of the Victorian Government Sustainability Fund (managed by Sustainability Victoria), and the City of Frankston, conducted a trial to test the viability of using LED lighting as a fluorescent substitute. It also researched trends that are likely to result in the widespread uptake of LEDs by 2015. Download the full report

Our Energy Use

As a company focussed on energy efficiency and energy conservation, CarbonetiX keeps energy consumption in our own offices at a minimum. In 2008 our energy consumption was 30 kWh per square metre, in 2009 it was 33 kWh per suqare metre. To put this in context, this is just one quarter of the usage of a typical office of the same size.
