Outcomes
Presentations The Australian regulatory system Compliance surveys results conducted in 2004 The release of standby power consumption targets for air conditionings The release of a comparison of the energy efficiency and MEPS levels of air conditioners in 5 countries, including Australia, Thailand, Malaysia, Korea and China Proposals to regulate heat pump type air conditioners Proposals to ban the use of horsepower and to endorse kw to size the output of the air conditioner
Presentations & Workshops Next 5 years
The Australian regulatory system NAEEEC strives for world best regulatory practice, at least matching the best minimum standards imposed by major trading partners Single phase products labelled & MEPS.
Energy Rating Label – from 1987 New labels for single-phase - from October 2000. Proposed MEPS Stage 1 – Oct 2004 Proposed MEPS Stage 1 – Oct 2007
Three phase AC subject to MEPS.
Labelling is voluntary MEPS for three-phase systems to 65kW – from October 2001 MEPS Stage 2 – Oct 2007
