Is it just a coincidence that CCE will be building a solar array in Newcastle?
"How do you know if the star ratings on your air conditioner really perform as they state on the label?
CSIRO engineers have designed and commissioned a new, state-of-the-art air conditioner test facility to evaluate the electrical, cooling and heating performance of conventional and solar-poweredsystems.
Air conditioning and heating accounts for 22% of the electrical use in Australia, and contributes 7% to the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions. Nearly three-quarters of Australian households have air conditioners and HVAC typically accounts for up to 40% of business energy bills.
The demand for new HVAC technology continues to grow alongside rising consumer preferences for products that offer greater energy efficiency and performance."
