“
Before I started the course I had never heard that
buildings could be built to consume less energy and
why that was important. The TAFE SA course opened
my eyes to the importance of creating buildings that
consume less energy from the environment.
The TAFE SA course has put me at the front of the pack
in understanding the ways properties can be designed
to consume less energy.
