Craterpot | Simply a greater pot.

For 4,000 years, the plant pot has been little more than a bucket with holes. Until our visionary team,led by inventor R J Middleton, saw what they could be - and thus unfolded a quest for a better pot, a pot that would allow drainage, yet still ingeniously retain moisture.

Abstract Only a few years ago there were only a handful of buildings in Australia, mainly leased by or from the Commonwealth Government to which a green lease might have application. Now with the passing of the Building Energy Efficiency Disclosure Act 2010 (Cth) all commercial office premises in excess of 2000 square metres have 12 months from 1 November 2010 to obtain a Building Energy Efficiency Certificate as part of Stage 1 of the Federal Government’s National Framework for Energy Efficiency This significant change has focused attention on changes required to the conditions of leases where the building has a NABERS rating. This article considers material from the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada where there are similar policy changes in play and makes suggestions as to how certain clauses of a standard lease of a commercial office block may be altered to meet this new regime.
