Our investment
In December 2017, the CEFC committed up to $100 million to the Dexus Healthcare Wholesale Property Fund (HWPF). The fund was renamed in March 2021 as Dexus Healthcare Property Fund (DHPF).
our impact
There are currently no defined standards for energy efficiency in healthcare buildings and yet healthcare facilities typically use far more energy than standard office buildings because they often run extended hours, have high hot water consumption, air-conditioning and specialist medical equipment requirements.
The fund is targeting emissions reductions of 45 per cent in both new and existing buildings when compared to the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Baseline Energy Consumption in commercial buildings. New buildings will target a 5 Star Green Star Design and As Built rating and target a Green Star Performance Rating.
Over the long term, the fund is targeting a portfolio of net zero carbon outcomes, including low-emission transport options, such as electric vehicles, ride-sharing and integration with local transport infrastructure. Tenants and hospital users will also be encouraged to adopt energy efficient practices.
