Abstract
Energy efficiency of domestic refrigerators has markedly improved over recent years. Despite these improvements, low-income households in Australia still tend to own older and less energy-efficient refrigerators. Replacement of old refrigerators with energy-efficient appliances presents an important opportunity to reduce both greenhouse gas emissions and the electricity bills of households for sustainable development. This paper presents the measurement and verification of energy savings from a sample of 16 household refrigerator replacements under the Appliance Replacement Offer of the New South Wales Government, Australia. In-home monitoring and laboratory testing were conducted for both old and new refrigerators. A key challenge for this study was to estimate the energy savings of the replacement in each household based on limited in-home monitoring data. The annual energy savings from the refrigerator replacement in the households were estimated using the artificial neu
North-west residents will soon catch their first glimpse of Tamworth’s new Banksia Mental Health Unit.
The project team will be visiting Tenterfield, Glen Innes, Inverell, Armidale, Moree, Narrabri and Tamworth over the month.
They’ll be looking for community feedback, and suggestions, on the proposed design of the unit.
The project has been listed as a priority for the New South Wales Government – also securing $1.5-million from JobLink Plus.
A survey has also been launched online for communities to have their say.
