Guidelines

Reducing waste and controlling costs are always priorities in managing a business. But when it comes to energy, many managers don't fully appreciate the potential and scope for savings.

Energy isn't a fixed cost. In fact, it may be one of your most controllable inputs. You can take control of your business' energy use through active energy management. This is where an energy Targeting and Monitoring programme comes in.

This workbook explores the key elements of a successful Targeting and Monitoring programme.

EECA's products' programme uses laboratories accredited by IANZ or NATA for its regulatory enforcement activities. This means from time to time we select a sample range of models for a product and test them to make sure that they meet the legal requirements.

The IANZ and NATA websites can help you find a laboratory where your product can be tested.

The document provides a list of test facilities available in in Australia and New Zealand capable of verifying claims of energy efficiency for minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) and labelling.

Th is booklet outlines why and how schools can reduce energy use and cost. Why schools are considering energy efficiency is summarised in the introduction; how they are going about it is detailed in four case studies.

There are three planning templates and a schedule to assist schools. Those schools that have built energy efficiency into the curriculum have been especially successful in making change to their energy-use practices.

This Technical Guide provides guidance on the conversion of existing coal fired boilers to wood pellet operation. There are a number of obvious advantages to using wood pellets: they are 100% renewable and relatively clean burning. Of paramount importance in a conversion is the need both to maintain the safety and integrity of the boiler and control systems, and also to improve safety to the level of best practice.
