Guidelines

This Standard is intended to provide clear and sound guidance to installers of insulation to ensure that the design thermal performance and thermal durability of the building element is achieved.

New Zealand has become very aware of the importance of healthy homes and conservation of energy as part of the move to sustainable building.  Insulation correctly installed plays a large part in ensuring efficient use of energy and a healthy internal environment in New Zealand buildings.

This specification outlines the criteria for ENERGY STAR qualified washing machines. A product must meet all of the identified programme requirements if it is to be registered with the New Zealand ENERGY STAR programme and carry the ENERGY STAR mark.

This factsheet outlines the Star Rating Index (SRI) calculation method for fridges/freezers, to establish if a product meets ENERGY STAR qualifying criteria. This should be used in conjunction with the ENERGY STAR specification for fridges/freezers.

This document explains what an ENERGY STAR qualified product is and what the ENERGY STAR and energy rating labels mean. It also explains important points to remember when selling ENERGY STAR qualified products.
