Hi, thank you all so much for everything you’re doing to keep the building safe and looking good. So grateful to you for the opportunity to learn about all this not having lived in an apartment block before.
Hope you have a great week in your various pursuits. 
Katherine.

It uses efficient heat pump technology to produce hot water which is more economical than gas generally.  We use gas for a backup to our hot water capacity.  The rest is lifts. Cooling tower and lights.  There is a proposal to change the lights to led. which would save a little bit We might get it down to $55k  There's not much left there. Remember every apartment's bulk of hot water charges are in that figure. 
>>>>>> $15k on water,
>>>>> That sounds quite normal for a building of our size with a cooling tower. During the summer months over spray and evaporation counts for a lot. Avis have their own meter and I dont believe there is anywhere beside Sydney water we can get our water from. So unsure what we can do here. (other then turning off the HVAC) Most more modern development use heat pump split systems rather then cooling towers. But we are stuck with how the building was built.

>>>>> There have been a large amount of restorations to the fire this year. The building was not complaint for a number of reasons (mostly defects) as well as the fire pump died and had to be replaced.  I also think our old fire guys were way to expensive and also told us work was required that was not. I picked up on a number of these issues and as result in the last 3 - 4 months we have changed fire people. It should be greatly reduced next year.
