Summary

This report was prepared by George Wilkenfeld & Associates for the Australian Greenhouse Office.

This study estimates the energy used in the range of products that are purchased by governments which fall within the scope of the National Appliance and Equipment Energy Efficiency Program (NAEEEP), and the potential for reduction in energy use and expenditure through the purchase of more energy-efficient products.

It also assesses the value to governments of using the Energy Allstars database of energy-efficient equipment towards the objective of increasing the energy-efficiency of product purchases. The Energy Allstars website specifies agreed criteria for 'High Efficiency' products and gives access to the database of models which meet the criteria. The website also enables users to conveniently calculate lifetime energy costs for any product listed, using whatever energy prices, discount rates and other parameters they chose to specify. The purchasing agency (or the tenderer) could then simply add this cost to the tender price to indicate lifetime costs.
