"After that you should see some sensors and timers kicking in in some of the modern buildings, but obviously we've got more work to do to upgrade those controls in some of our older building stock."

"The biggest environmental footprint in Sydney is caused by organisations, tenants and building owners leaving lights on at night, WWF's manager of low carbon futures, Monica Richter says."

"So if companies and tenants were better disciplined and educated about the benefits of switching their lights they'd be able to save money as well as be better environmental citizens."

"Those interviewed for this story agree that most building owners now recognise the need to modernise because it makes good business sense and also helps the environment."

"WWF's Ms Richter believes there's been a definite shift in attitude, with property owners committing to becoming carbon positive by 2030 by investing in renewable energy or reducing their footprint."

"It's up to all of us — whether you're in Parramatta or Hornsby or the city CBD or north Sydney, it's being able to get tenants and educate them that they need to switch off the lights at the end of the day," she said."
