Summary

This document is presented by the Equipment Energy Efficiency (E3) Committee as a draft strategic plan for the non-domestic refrigeration sector with the objective of publishing a final strategic plan that has broad industry support early in 2010.

In from the Cold aims to improve the energy performance and uptake of energy efficient non-domestic refrigeration products and services within Australia and New Zealand, and stimulate the development of an internationally competitive industry serving local and overseas markets. The strategy:

Provides a coordinated, strategic framework for reducing energy used by non-domestic refrigeration in Australia and New Zealand over the next ten years, 2010-2020.
Describes the context and rationale for the strategy, including the policy framework in Australia and New Zealand, international policy developments and energy use in the non-domestic refrigeration sector.
Explains the extent to which existing policy measures impact on the non-domestic refrigeration sector.
Identifies priority projects for implementation over the next ten years that will make a significant improvement to the energy efficiency of products and services throughout the non-domestic refrigeration sector.
Recommends a number of coordinated mandatory and voluntary measures that Government and industry will adopt to reduce greenhouse gas emissions due to refrigeration energy consumption.
Outlines the specific projects for introduction in the first three years and commits all parties to continue to develop detailed three year workplans over the course of the strategy with a review in the final year.

Within this strategy reference is made to two background technical reports: Volume 1 deals with refrigerated cabinets, including display cabinets, while Volume 2 covers other sectors and technologies in the non-domestic refrigeration sector (MEA, 2009a; 2009b).
