(a) details of the possible measures that could be incorporated in the development to reduce the consumption of non-renewable energy and the production of greenhouse gases, and
(b) any measures incorporated in the proposed development to minimise the energy requirements of the proposed development, including building design, construction methods, materials, solar orientation, plant and equipment technology, space heating, cooling and lighting systems, and landscaping, and
(c) whether conditions should be imposed on the consent aimed at reducing the consumption of non-renewable energy or the production of greenhouse gases.
