August 8, 2011, New Zealand released the first G/TBT/N/NZL/56 No. communications, air conditioning and processing the proposed amendments to the minimum energy efficiency standards for heat pump AS/NZS 3823.2:2009. At present, the minimum energy efficiency requirements for air conditioning as standard criteria established in 2001, the MEPS is a senior in the subsequent amendments also experienced a number of recent amendments to the first release in 2009 (EES 2009). requirements changes have been reflected in the AS/NZS 3823.2:2009 and 2010 implementation of the regulations in April, while the new calculation of the annual energy consumption from 2011 in April.
December 2010, the Australian Equipment Energy Efficiency Committee ("E3 Committee") to the Ministerial Council of Energy (MCE) submitted a minimum energy efficiency requirements for air conditioning laws and regulations impact assessment report (RIS). RIS products involved include AS/NZS 3823.2 in the air, mainly to strengthen the air conditioning of the minimum energy efficiency standards (MEPS) levels. MCE according to this RIS, raised on air conditioning energy efficiency of proposed regulations, but this is only the Australian's comments, if New Zealand wants to The report, to submit their comments or suggestions, then New Zealand must do to launch a public consultation.
In the AS/NZS 3823.2:2009 after the release, the changes in energy efficiency are:
l 2009 In July, the Australian Government Committee (COAG) according to RIS, agreed in April 2010 the implementation of a measure designed to start from October 2011, the MEPS will be reduced by 10% air.
l 2009 9 1st, Queensland introduced a regulation to ban the sale of energy efficiency ratio (EER) <; 2.9 air-conditioning (cooling capacity not greater than 65 kW).
l 2010 1 January, South Australia for the introduction of a new air-conditioning energy performance standards, the standards are higher than the current standard and April 2010, the MEPS to be high.
MEPS parties around the 10% reduction goal, made four proposals, according to these four proposals,Expected Australia/New Zealand in 2015,2020 and 2025 the number of energy conservation will be as follows
The number of expected energy savings (GWh pa

Of AS/NZS 3823.2:2009 standard amendment is expected to be October 1, 2011 into effect, the amendments further details see "Decision RIS: MEPS for Air Conditioners 2011".
