Southern Grampians Council Building Electricity and Emissions 2015

Electricity usage and associated carbon emissions for the main building locations operated by the Southern Grampians Shire Council throughout 2015. The dataset was created and published by the Southern Grampians Shire Council, with a record last updated in April 2026. It includes tons of CO2 equivalent emissions linked to the electricity consumption of council facilities.

Use Cases

• Benchmark electricity consumption across different council building locations for energy efficiency audits.
• Estimate total annual carbon emissions in tons of CO2 equivalent for council operations to support climate action planning.
• Perform geospatial analysis of energy use intensity by mapping building location data provided in the geospatial files.
• Correlate seasonal building occupancy patterns with monthly electricity usage data, if such temporal granularity is available in the records.

Strengths

• Includes carbon emissions data in tons of CO2 equivalent, providing a direct environmental impact metric.
• Offers data in multiple geospatial formats (GEOJSON, SHP) enabling mapping and spatial analysis.
• Clear provenance from the authoritative local government body responsible for the buildings.

Limitations

• Dataset is limited to a single calendar year (2015), offering no longitudinal trend analysis.
• Scope is restricted to one council's main buildings, limiting comparative analysis with other regions or sectors.
• Unknown row count and specific column details prevent assessment of data granularity and feature completeness.
