(2) To avoid doubt, the proposed measures in the energy efficiency improvement plan may involve a major energy use change even if the building is able to meet the specified reduction in energy use intensity without undergoing a major energy use change. (3) If the specified individual appointed to carry out the energy audit assesses that it is impracticable for the Type 1 building to meet the specified reduction in energy use intensity (whether or not by carrying out a major energy use change), the audit report must include this assessment. (4) Any specified individual appointed to carry out an energy audit who —(a) without reasonable excuse, contravenes subsection (1) or (3); or (b) provides any information or makes any statement in relation to the audit report required under subsection (1) or (3), which the individual knows or has reason to believe is false, shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $10,000.
