Summary

This report was prepared by EnergyConsult in January 2005 for NAEEEC as Report 2005/03.

The purpose of this report is to provide a comparison of international Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) for single phase room type airconditioners. It is used as a basis for proposing new MEPS levels for Australia in 2006 and 2008 as set out in the Regulatory Impact Statement. The original version was released in February 2005 (Report 2005/04) and this was revised and re-released in June 2005 after initial industry feedback (Report 2005/16).

In addition, recommendations are made with regard to the future of Australia's MEPS levels for these types of airconditioners.

This report updates the internal MEPS review and analysis of the MEPS options undertaken in 2002 by EnergyConsult for NAEEEC (Report 2002/16).
