(NOTE: This page has been replaced by Greening Whitegoods 2009 - E3 Report 2010/08)

Summary

The fourth report analysing GfK appliance sales data to assess energy consumption and performance trends of major household appliances in the Australian market from 1993 to 2005, prepared by Energy Efficient Strategies for E3, July 2006. Examines in detail the sales weighted trend for major appliances (refrigerators, freezers, clothes washers, clothes dryers and dishwashers) in Australia.

All product groups analysed in this report have shown an improvement in energy efficiency with some product groups showing a very positive and significant improvement since 1993. In addition, the introduction of mandatory minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) for refrigerators and freezers in 1999 and which were subsequently made more stringent in January 2005, have made a substantial impact on energy efficiency of new products.
