Appendices of approximately 2.5% was achieved over the 2004 reporting period in comparison to the previous year. The Ryde Curriculum Directorate achieved outstanding performance in the reduction of energy consumption through an awareness campaign, upgrading of air cooling systems and the installation of lighting and air cooling controls. The Facility received a 5 Star Australian Greenhouse rating by DEUS and was rated as one of the five highest performing administration facilities in the NSW Government portfolio. Schools • Schools account for over 60% of the Department’s energy consumption • Average annual energy consumption per student was 1670MJ • Average annual energy consumption per square metre floor area was 160 MJ • Total average consumption was slightly lower than the previous year. TAFE NSW • TAFE NSW facilities account for almost 28% of the Department’s energy consumption • Average annual energy consumption per effective fulltime student was 4,032 MJ • Average annual energy consumption per square metre floor area was 365 MJ • Total average consumption was slightly lower than the previous year. The Department continues to meet the challenges of achieving overall energy efficiency, while providing high quality learning environments which increasingly involve Table 17.1 Projects to improve efficiency high energy consumption from more computers in use, associated ICT equipment and air conditioning. Adopting best practice in the procurement of new assets Design and construction of new and refurbished education facilities continues to incorporate wellestablished ecologically sustainable design features in energy efficiency, water conservation and environmental considerations. Provision of low environmental impact facilities that ensure acceptable comfort condition levels are achieved through good design and passive ventilation. Education facility design features include: • Maximising the use of natural light in all new primary schools, and increasingly in high schools through the installation of roof light strips • Integrating wind driven roof ventilators to evacuate heat from ceiling spaces • Period bell light switching systems to automatically control lights in rooms in line with scheduled occupancy • Using insulation to reduce energy consumption for both heating and cooling • Using low flow water outlets and dual flush cisterns for improved water efficiency. Numerous research and installation projects were carried out in 2005 to enable the evaluation of energy efficient products. These ongoing trials ensure application of the latest technology in operations. Design specifications are applied, where appropriate, in planning and operation of education facilities. During 2005 numerous trials of appliances were conducted and installation projects were completed. Some of those projects are detailed in the table below: Site Project Scope Result Northern Beaches Secondary Colleges -Manly and Cromer Campuses Upgrading existing light fittings Both schools had all electrical components removed from the rapid start light fittings and were rewired with energy efficient components and triphosphur fluorescent tubes. The retrofit was carried out to all suitable light fittings in classrooms and administration areas. As an increase in light output was achieved, a 20% reduction in the number of fluorescent tubes was possible. The reduced electrical load will reduce annual energy consumption by an estimated 148,000 kWh and provide a saving of approx. $14,000 per year. Various schools Phase 4 - Solar in Schools In conjunction with the Department of Energy, Utilities and Sustainability, and Integral Energy, 1.5 kWh roof mounted photovoltaic (solar) systems were installed in 27 schools throughout NSW. All electricity generated by the system is fed directly into the schools’ main electricity supply. This ‘green energy’ reduces demand for mains supplied electricity and therefore prevents the generation and release of approximately 49 tonnes of CO 2 gas emissions into the atmosphere annually. Appendices Tuggerah Lakes Secondary College - Berkeley Vale Campus Upgrading existing light fittings All electrical components were removed from the rapid start light fittings in 32 classrooms. The fittings were upgraded with a prefabricated energy efficient kit, consisting of electronic ballast, wiring and triphosphur fluorescent tubes. While operation is presently being monitored, a reduced electrical load has been achieved as has a reduction in energy and maintenance cost. There has also been a substantial increase in light output while retaining the same number of fluorescent tubes. Hunter Institute of TAFE Electricity consumption monitoring and reporting Monitoring and reporting of all major electricity accounts in the Hunter Institute of TAFE NSW using real time data streams from remote read ‘smart meters’. Provision of accurate electricity consumption data, at half hourly intervals, and analysis which is formatted to assist the facility operator to better manage electricity use to achieve reduced consumption and cost.

Appendix 18: Records management program Records management In 2005 the following was achieved through the Records Management Program: • Consolidating seven separate records management databases began and over 75% (2 million) records were successfully remapped to a uniform and more manageable corporate data model. This model is designed to improve information sharing and service delivery while reducing duplication and costs. • This consolidation was due to be completed by mid-2006 to enable the upgrade of the software to the latest version, TRIM Context, and to facilitate the development of more comprehensive integrated corporate Electronic Document Management (EDM) strategies • A revised policy was also approved, designed to improve recordkeeping practices through the reinforcement of State Government requirements, improved communications, enhanced monitoring and reporting, and clarification of management responsibilities for records management compliance. Appendix 19: Privacy and personal information protection Introduction Departmental staff and students are kept informed of the implementation of the privacy legislation through privacy bulletins, information brochures, training/ information sessions and information provided on the Department’s privacy Intranet site. The Department has developed internal review procedures, which were modified in 2004, to improve the efficiency and timeliness of internal reviews under the Act. For the year ended 31 December 2005, there were 21 applications for privacy internal review received by the Department and 16 privacy internal reviews completed by the Department. Enhancements were also made to the Mainstream Enrolment via the Internet/Electronic Cash Register Interface (MEVI/ECRI). These included: • The introduction in Semester 1 2005 of highdemand application courses online • The extention for 2006 re-enrolling students from 10 November 2005 • The introduction in 2005 of statewide TAFE NSW Table 20.1 MEVI/ECRI - High demand courses 2005 Semester 1 2005 Semester 2 No. of courses 155 108 No. of campuses 98 64 No. of students 20,838 13,003 Fees collected $10,633,342 $2,626,560 Source: DET, Chief Information Officer Note for 2006 Application Courses: The first online student acceptance was at 3.00am on 18 December 2005.
