COMMENTARYBecause there are several areas for which there is simply not sufficient data to make any reasonable deductions at this point, these numbers are likely to be somewhat conservative.
It is felt that all of the major areas of employment and expenditure are captured here, although estimates of employment are thought to be conservative. However there are significant specialist areas for which insufficient data is presently available and which could add materially to these conclusions.
Major specialist areas for employment, sales of technology, engineering services and economic activity for which we presently have no certainty that we have collected accurate data includes:
- Sales, service and installation of small cool rooms - not in the cold chain and supermarkets- Commercial Aviation - domestic and international flights serviced here- Mining and in mine machinery- Marine Systems - domestic, international, commercial and private vessels equipped and serviced here- Ancillary sales and service for control systems, sensors, filters, chemicals, specialist cleaning- Military vehicles, equipment and systems

MEPS AC, 2002 pp 10. According to recent studies, airconditioning is estimated to represent approximately (approx. 3.4PJ = 956 GWh/a) 1.2Mt CO2-e for the residential sector and (approx. 70PJ = 19,444 GWh/a) 24.4Mt CO2-e for the commercial sector in 2000.
Status of AC in Australia, 2005 pp 26. Annual energy savings in 2018 are projected to be 782 GWh per year with emissions down by about 0.61 Mt CO2-e per year; for total savings of 7,970 GWh and 6.2 Mt CO2-e. pp 32, estimate Energy consumption of Air Conditioners in 2004 to be 4.6 PJ (1278 GWh/a) in the residential sector, data did not take into account any MEPS reductions. These two pieces of data from same report appear to contradict???
MEPS Close Control AC, 2004 pp4. It is estimated that approximately 3000 roof top packaged air conditioners are sold each year in Australia (over 18kWr), with the average size of 60 kWr (PB closer to 45kW, same as precision). Hence the market for close control air conditioners is approximately 15% of this total market (PB closer to 20%). This makes close control air conditioners relatively significant in terms of energy usage as the average utilization of close control air conditioners is typically 2 to 4 times (PB our analysis used 2.4 times) more than comfort air conditioners. Hence, energy consumption from close control air conditioners could be 10 to 20 % (PB 20% x 2.4 = 48%, close control is more significant) of the energy usage attributed to package air conditioners.
MEPS Heatpumps - 2004, pp 2Energy consumption from heat pumps in 2002 is estimated to be over 600 GWh/a and forecast to grow to 1,100 GWh in 2010. Heat pumps are typically replacing electric resistive heating and solid fuel heaters as the main heating source.

There are several factors that effect the Ownership Ratio Calculation:- Existing Stock Calculations & assumptions- Proportion of WHS Systems, Split Systems & Window Wall units assigned to Residential & Commercial (see sensitivity analysis below)- Weakness in the Evaporative Cooler data
Existing Stock Calculations & assumptions:Assumed 100% of systems imported or manufactured were in service for the nominal warranty period (for domestic applications) then discounted the % in service to a typical life span. Existing Stock is calculated on AC Calculation WSheet, summary of assumptions used for calculations was as follows:-
Split Systems (Warranty period: majors = 5 yrs/minors = 3 yrs, used 4 yrs), then discounted to 70% at 10 years & 60% at 12 years)WHS Systems (Warranty period: majors = 5 yrs/minors = 3 yrs, used 4 yrs), then discounted to 60% at 10 yearsWindow/Wall (Warranty period: 3 yrs), then discounted to 65% at 10 years & 55% at 12 years)Evaporative Coolers (Warranty period: 3 yrs), then discounted to 70% at 10 years & 60% at 12 years)
Existing Stock can be subjective as units can still be installed, however not operated or only used occasionally (a good example of this is a wall unit replaced by a WHS System, wall units are rarely replaced in a domestic application as it involves re-plastering & filling the external hole at a cost of $500 to $1,000).
There is limited research in this area, however one reference is as follows: Status of AC in Australia, EES, 2005 pp12 Studies undertaken by Test Research in 1995 indicate the av. age of AC's to be 8 years, with the av, retirement age of 12 to 18 years (depending on installation, type), which was broadly consistent with BIS Shrapnel Data collected in 2004. Until a more comprehensive study is undertaken intuition from industry Product Managers & Service Managers is the best guide.
Proportion of WHS Systems, Split Systems & Window Wall units assigned to Residential & CommercialHighly recommend a survey of major suppliers (incl. Daikin, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Carrier, etc.) to obtain a better understanding of the % of Commercial AC to domestic applications. The major players will have an indication of this split as they offer different warranties & have different departments for residential & commercial. The estimated ratios were as as follows:WHS Systems = 25%, Window/Wall Units = 20% & Split Systems = 50% Commercial alters the "macro data".Av. Devices per Household of 0.70, Total Energy Consumed for Commercial = 17,654 GWh/a & Residential = 5,248 GWh/a
Amending the ratios to WHS Systems = 20%, Window/Wall Units = 15% & Split Systems = 40% CommercialAv. Devices per Household of 0.75, Total Energy Consumed for Commercial = 15,878 GWh/a & Residential = 5,755 GWh/a
Amending the ratios to WHS Systems = 30%, Window/Wall Units = 25% & Split Systems = 50% Commercial alters the "macro data".Av. Devices per Household of 0.66, Total Energy Consumed for Commercial = 18,414 GWh/a & Residential = 4,989 GWh/a
Weakness in the Evaporative Cooler dataHave applied 15% of all AC types to estimate Evap Coolers (excl. portable). This estimate is a significant weakness in this analysis. Further data is required to qualify Existing Stock & correct distribution by state. Evap. Coolers are popular in WA, SA & rural NSW/Qld/Vic where humidity is low. Distribution by state is very different to other AC types. The ownership ratio would increase if we were to include portable evaporative coolers in the analysis (have excluded them in this analysis as they are inexpensive, consume very little power & in some cases provide marginally better cooling than a pedestal fan).

Chiller Analysis & Assumptions:The following process was undertaken in conjunction with discussions with industry (Manufacturers & Contractors): 1. Chillers were broken into 3 categories by capacity (Small <110kW; Medium between 110 & 528kW; Large >528kW) 2. Chillers were placed into 3 Market sectors (Commercial AC; Process Chilling in Food Chain; Industrial & Other applications)3.Chiller Applications were classified as large, medium & small & an estimate made of Market segment share in each size (eg Large consisted of 85% Commercial AC & balance shared) or (eg Small consisted of 50% Process Chilling in Food Chain & 50% Industrial/Other) 4. Annual volumes, weighted averages, average sizes, estimated existing base & energy consumptions are calculated below. An assumption table is provided below listing COPs, existing stock & effective run time (which is subjective & requires further investigation).
Total Estimated Energy Consumed by Chillers:Commercial Air Conditioning = 4,857 GWh/aProcess Chilling (Food Chain) = 564 GWh/aIndustrial Applications & Other = 705 GWh/a
Other useful references MEPS - Commercial Building Air Conditioning Chillers (Vapour Compression), 2004.pp 5 Estimated that there are some 6,000 to 7,000 chillers of varying technologytypes, efficiencies and refrigerants currently installed in Australian commercial buildings,entertainment complexes and retails facilities.
pp 6 Figure 1 shows the range of sales by type of chiller. Applications with cooling requirements below 250 kW are mainly dominated by scroll compressors, with other applications up to 1,000 kW using a mixture of helical rotary (screw) and reciprocating compressors. Cooling capacity requirements above 1,000 kW is usually managed by the use of screw and centrifugal compressors.

Information Provided by Energy Engineer of Major Supermarket Chain
"From submetering we have installed in a number of our stores; and based on the refrigeration component of a typical store of total consumption, we know that for an average sized store we consume approximately 1,200,000 to 1,300,000 kWh per annum."
This provides us with two equations: Large = 350/250 x Medium (Based on specifications provided by contractors on refrigeration requirements in Medium & Large stores)Large x 1200/2700 + Medium x 1500/2700 = 1,250,000 kWh/a (Assumed ratio of Major Supermarket chain providing information is indicative of rest of industry)ThereforeLarge Store = 1,543,972 kWh/aMedium Store = 1,014,610 kWh/a
Energy Consumption EstimationThree methods were undertakenMethod 1: Based on Supermarket Specifications provided by Contractors = 5,270 GWh/a Method 2: Based on MEPS 2000 report adjusted to 2006 = 2,680 GWh/aMethod 3: Based on actual kWh/a in supermarkets = 3,746 GWh/a
Have adhered to result obtained in Method 1: despite actual data provided by major supermarket chain suggests an estimate of 3,746 GWh/a. The estimate was based on sub-metering in Target stores which can under estimate energy consumption of low efficiency stores. There are significant energy consumption differentiators including sub-coolers, floating head technology & studies on reconditioning stores have reported improvements up to 20%.
Further discussion is required with major supermarket chain or energy providers to qualify further.

"From submetering we have installed in a number of our stores; and based on the refrigeration component of a typical store of total consumption, we know that for an average sized store we consume approximately 1,200,000 to 1,300,000 kWh per annum."
This provides us with two equations: Large = 350/250 x Medium (Based on specifications provided by contractors on refrigeration requirements in Medium & Large stores)Large x 1200/2700 + Medium x 1500/2700 = 1,250,000 kWh/a (Assumed ratio of Major Supermarket chain providing information is indicative of rest of industry)ThereforeLarge Store = 1,543,972 kWh/aMedium Store = 1,014,610 kWh/a
Energy Consumption EstimationThree methods were undertakenMethod 1: Based on Supermarket Specifications provided by Contractors = 5,270 GWh/a Method 2: Based on MEPS 2000 report adjusted to 2006 = 2,680 GWh/aMethod 3: Based on actual kWh/a in supermarkets = 3,746 GWh/a
Have adhered to result obtained in Method 1: despite actual data provided by major supermarket chain suggests an estimate of 3,746 GWh/a. The estimate was based on sub-metering in Target stores which can under estimate energy consumption of low efficiency stores. There are significant energy consumption differentiators including sub-coolers, floating head technology & studies on reconditioning stores have reported improvements up to 20%.
Further discussion is required with major supermarket chain or energy providers to qualify further.

Cold Food Chain: Industrial (Ammonia Systems)
Industrial refrigeration typically referred to “Ammonia refrigeration applications” in the Food Chain (Primary/Secondary Chilling/Freezing & Cold Storage), not to be confused with cooling/chiller applications in industry.
The installed base of industrial applications is difficult to quantify as the business is very project oriented, which means sales of Ammonia (screw & some large reciprocating) compressors & kWR sizes vary significantly from year to year. The best industry estimate is 120 to 150 compressors p.a. with approx. 30% applied in Cold Storage applications & the majority in chilling/Freezing/ice making applications in primary/secondary stages of the Cold Food Chain. The total energy consumed by Industrial refrigeration applications is likely to be at least double the energy consumed in Cold Storage (356 GWh/a) as there are more applications, typically require greater refrigeration capacity, however have lower annual running hours than Cold Storage applications due to seasonality/factory shifts. For simplicity until further investigation is undertaken we will assume the total energy consumed in primary/secondary stages of the Cold Food Chain is the same as Cold Storage (356 GWh/a & split 40:60 between primary : secondary).
The market leader of screw compressors in Australia is Mycom. Please see list/links of other suppliers below.
There are a group of key national contractors including Gordon Brothers (part of Hastie Group), Techrite Refrigeration, Cold Logic & regional contractors such as Fourair (target food chain applications Vic & Southern NSW) that service industrial refrigeration applications (Ammonia) & chillers (Food chain, Industrial Applications & Other).

pp 49, Airconditioning has become a standard feature in motor vehicles across Australia. In April 1996, 72% of motor vehicles in Australia had airconditioning. In March 2006, however, the proportion has increased significantly to 92%. Motor vehicles without airconditioning were most likely to be found in Tasmania (only 79% of households), but this level has more than doubled since 1996 (37%) (graph 3.6 and table 3.13, pp 57, Number of Registerd Motor Vehicles with Air Conditioning, 1996:2006).

A total of 5,384 million litres of diesel fuel was used by articulated and rigid trucks. This was 65.3% of all diesel fuel used and represents 100.0% and 97.9% respectively of fuel consumption for these vehicle types. The total fuel consumption by other vehicles in the 12 months ended 31 October 2004 included 4,471 million litres of fuel by light commercial vehicles and 524 million litres of fuel by buses.

We propose a reasonable figure for average in use charge of about 500g for stock estimation purposes.www.iea.org/textbase/work/2006/car_cooling/Session3/3b%20Clodic%20New%20evidence%20on%20leakage.pdfin www.iea.org/Textbase/work/workshopdetail.asp?WS_ID=247

*"The estimated 13 million of refrigerators and freezers household refrigerators (in Australia) use about 24% of the electricity consumed by all domestic electrical appliances, equaling lighting (Energy Efficient Strategies, 2006; James, 2003). Refrigerators and freezers were estimated to account for nearly 17% of all greenhouse gas emissions in 2000. Although Australia has developed minimum energy performance standards for domestic refrigeration, there is still considerable technical potential to improve the energy efficiency of refrigerated appliances."

"In Australia, household refrigeration accounted for about 8,330 GWh of electricity use and 9.06 million tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent (Mt CO2-e) emissions in 2000 (Energy Consult, 2006). About 20% of this was due to freezers, and 80% to refrigerators (fresh food only) and refrigerator-freezers. Considering that refrigerator and freezer sales have increased by 2.6% per year (Energy Efficient Strategies, 2006), estimates for 2005 would be closer to 9,470 GWh per year."

Existing Stock
Wall Mounted
Ratio Split/Wall
Existing Stock Calculations & assumptions:Assumed 100% systems were in service for the nominal warranty period (for domestic applications) then discounted the % in service to a typical life span. Split Systems (Warranty period: majors = 5 yrs/minors = 3 yrs, used 4 yrs), then discounted to 70% at 10 years & 60% at 12 years)WHS Systems (Warranty period: majors = 5 yrs/minors = 3 yrs, used 4 yrs), then discounted to 60% at 10 yearsWindow/Wall (Warranty period: 3 yrs), then discounted to 65% at 10 years & 55% at 12 years)Evaporative Coolers (Warranty period: 3 yrs), then discounted to 70% at 10 years & 60% at 12 years)
Existing Stock can be subjective as units can still be installed, however not operated or only used occasionally (a good example of this is a wall unit replaced by a WHS System, wall units are rarely replaced in a domestic application as it involves re-plastering & filling the external hole at a cost of $500 to $1,000).
There is limited research in this area, however one reference is as follows: Status of AC in Australia, EES, 2005 pp12 Studies undertaken by Test Research in 1995 indicate the av. age of AC's to be 8 years, with the av, retirement age of 12 to 18 years (depending on installation, type), which was broadly consistent with BIS Shrapnel Data collected in 2004. Until a more comprehensive study is undertaken intuition from industry Product Managers & Service Managers is the best guide.

Notes: * All emission factors incorporate relevant oxidation factors (sourced from the AGO’s National Inventory Report).
(direct / point source EF for combustion emissions
Respective Scope 1 CO2 factors are available from the AGO’s National Inventory Report.a AGO estimates, derived from ‘Appropriateness of a 350 Million Litre Biofuels Target’, December 2003, CSIRO, ABARE,BTRE. The emission factors reported here are default factors - to be used in the absence of better data on emissions that mayresult, for example, on actual production methods employed. b. The emission factors for natural gas engines are indicativeonly. From AGO experience with the Alternative Fuels Conversion Programme, the AGO has discovered that many natural gasengines, whether dual fuel or dedicated, emit significant amounts of unburnt fuel to the atmosphere. This level of methane isdependent on a range of factors and varies from system to system. An accurate emissions factor therefore requires measurementof at least CO2 and CH4 for each engine type. c. LDV stands for Light Duty Vehicles, e.g. forklifts, and HDV stands for HeavyDuty Vehicles, e.g. buses.

Notes: a The emission factors should be applied to the amount of electricity actually consumed (i.e. the amount shown on theelectricity bill). A technical explanation of the definitions and units of these factors are provided in the box on pages 14 and15. b kg CO2-e/GJ is the same as kt CO2-e/PJ and Gg CO2-e/PJ. Transmission and distribution network operators shoulduse the EFs in Appendix 6.
