This policy framework addresses the potential opportunities presented by increasing the energy efficiency requirements for mid-tier buildings.

This paper provides a snapshot of future HVAC in a net-zero world, and outlines some of the mainthemes from the workshop discussions such as:

A position paper from Australian Institute of Refrigeration Air Conditioning and Heating (AIRAH) detailing their positions on resilience, sustainability, compliance, refrigerant transition and innovation & research in the HVAC&R industry.

AIRAH conducted a short and informal survey on activity within the HVAC&R research space in Australia and received 57 responses. This report provides the survey results and a snapshot of the HVAC&R research activity as at 2013.

AIRAH undertook this project on behalf of the whole of industry to provide a forum or mechanism whereby the transition to low -­‐ emission HVAC&R practices and technologies could be discussed openly and transparently. The topic is broad and the views are varied and often conflicting. The content of this paper is based on submissions...
