Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards (Refrigerated Cabinets) Determination 2024
Policy Details
RDCs (short for refrigerated display cabinets);
refrigerated drinks cabinets;
ice cream freezer cabinets;
scooping cabinets;
RSCs (short for refrigerated storage cabinets).
The policy replaces the following determination: Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards (Refrigerated Cabinets) Determination 2020
The energy efficiency index, or EEI, of a refrigerated cabinet that is covered by this instrument is calculated in accordance with the following formula:
where:
AEC is the refrigerated cabinet’s annual energy consumption, in kWh per year, and is calculated in accordance with section 26.
RAEC is the refrigerated cabinet’s reference annual energy consumption, in kWh per year, and is calculated in accordance with section 26.
Note: For refrigerated cabinets that are covered by this instrument, other than low sales volume and/or oversize RDCs and low sales volume RSCs, the reference annual energy consumption is equal to the standard annual energy consumption, which represents the energy consumption of a standard cabinet of the relevant type.
For low sales volume and/or oversize RDCs and low sales volume RSCs, the reference annual energy consumption is equal to the base annual energy consumption, which reflects the energy consumption of a reference low‑efficiency version of a cabinet of the relevant type.
