Energy audit standards AS/NZS 3598.2:2014 - industrial and related activities
This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee EN-001, Energy Auditing, to supersede, in part, AS/NZS 3598:2000, Energy audits. Energy audits are an integral part of the energy management process. They provide essential information to determine how efficiently energy is being consumed, identify energy and cost saving opportunities and highlight potential process and productivity improvements. In most cases, implementing energy audit recommendations will achieve notable cost savings. This Standard will assist organizations to decide on the appropriate type of audit for their industrial operations, provide a guide when commissioning energy audits and…

Standby Power Strategy 2002-2012
In November 2002, Australia released its National Standby Strategy 2002-2012. A key element of the Strategy was the identification of possible problem products and action plans to achieve the 1-Watt target for energy consumption through the development and release of "Product Profiles". The Profiles provided background information, proposed measures for government and a date for review. Voluntary targets were used in the first instance before application of mandatory performance standards in the case of non-compliance. A plan was established by the Australian government in March 2004 for reducing the standby power of various products. Comments on this…
