Tourism Energy Efficiency Programme
Saving Energy and Saving Money
The Tourism Energy Efficiency Programme (TEEP) is offered by TIA and the Energy Efficiency Conservation Authority (EECA) to improve the energy efficiency of New Zealand tourism businesses.
TEEP provides practical assistance for TIA members to reduce their electricity consumption, fuel consumption and carbon emissions and save money in the process. Reducing energy consumption can also give businesses a competitive marketing advantage with visitors who increasingly expect tourism providers to walk the green talk.

TEEP Energy Audits - Savings
TEEP energy audits of 25 tourism business in 2008 and 2009 found potential savings of more than 6.8GWh and $800,000 in energy costs – many of the measures could be implemented for little or no cost. On average, the audits identified savings of 15% of energy use and 15% of energy costs.

Fuel Efficiency Stocktake of Tourist Flight Operators
A TEEP fuel efficiency stocktake of tourism flight operators (TFO) in 2009 identified ways to reduce fuel consumption and improve profit margins. The stocktake is believed to be the first research of its type in the world for general aviation light aircraft. Click here to read more or download the report here.

TEEP 2010
Small and medium sized tourism operators in Wellington and Auckland have been given the opportunity to take advantage of a free energy efficiency package worth the equivalent of $3000. The package includes a free energy assessment by an EcoSmart electrician and a subsidy to install the assessment’s recommendations.
Later in the year we will also offer subsidies for TIA members to undertake driver training through the New Zealand Safe and Fuel Efficient Driving programme. These sorts of driver training programmes can result in fuel savings of up to 10%.
