Abstract

Some of the initiatives included: •employment of local people in each community to engage with households and deliver a tailored education package •retrofit of 448 homes with measures such as solar hot water systems and stove timers •fitting data loggers to meter boxes to capture energy usage statistics •installation of the BEE-Box in-home interactive usage display to 252 households. The project also included water conservation education. Local Yolngu people were at the centre of the design and delivery of the project, relaying messages and sharing ideas for using less power in the communities. The project ran in communities until December 2015, including extensive interviews with workers and participants using local co-researchers to support a comprehensive evaluation. The findings form a framework for improved energy efficiency for application in other remote Indigenous communities.,
