Summary

Paper presented at ACEEE Summer Study 2002, Lloyd Harrington, Energy Efficient Strategies & Shane Holt, Australian Greenhouse Office. In 1999 Australian state and federal governments adopted a policy of matching world's "best regulatory practice" for minimum energy performance standards (or MEPS) for residential appliances and commercial and industrial equipment.
