As reported previously, a new energy rating label is on the way for some air conditioners.
The zoned energy rating label (ZERL) includes more detailed information to help customers choose the best air conditioner for their climate zone – and save money. The labels will be mandatory on new models from April 1, 2020.
To help industry understand the changes and explain them to consumers, free information sessions are being held around Australia.
The sessions run for about two hours and cover why there has been a change to the label, how to read the new label and explain it to customers, the transition arrangements between the old and the new labels, and how retailers should display the label in store including regulated responsibilities.
The session will also explore questions that you might expect to get from customers. Members of the Ozone and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Program from the Department of the Environment and Energy will attend to present on the HFC phase-down and licencing arrangements.
Morning tea is included.
Dates are as follows:
Canberra – Thursday, August 22
Brisbane – Monday, September 2
Melbourne – Wednesday, September 4
Hobart – Thursday, September 5
