Abstract
Appliance energy efficiency programmes have generally followed basically similar tracks, and have often been justified via unsophisticated assumptions of energy use and consumption patterns. To obtain optimum results from extensions of energy efficiency programmes, it will be necessary to investigate actual energy use and adapt future energy performance requirements to suit. Factors that are presently often overlooked include baseload consumption, seasonal and daily variations, intelligence in appliances, and the changing mix of appliances owned in households. Planning for the next round of household appliance energy efficiency measures in New Zealand is using the results of detailed household energy end-use surveys in New Zealand and New South Wales, the outputs from a series of APEC workshop type events and consultation with manufacturers and importers.
