| description | Refrigerator-freezers, being one of the major electricity consuming household
appliances in Malaysia have become a target for improvement of energy
consumption. Until now, Malaysia has not set any standards or labeling for
refrigerator-freezers. The objectives of this study are to develop a set of energy
efficiency standards and labels for household refrigerator-freezers. By referring to
ISO (International Standard Organization) Test Standards, a series of experimental
investigations have been conducted towards fifteen units of refrigerator-freezers with
different capacities and trademarks. From the experimental data, a baseline standard
has been developed by statistical approach. A 10% saving line has been developed
from the baseline standard. Three types of energy saving labels have been designed
and a survey has been conducted towards these labels among the consumers. From
the survey response, a comprehensive energy guide label for refrigerator-freezers has
been proposed in this project. It has been estimated that 40869.594 MWh of
electricity energy could be saved per year by introducing energy efficiency standards
to refrigerator-freezers. With the mandatory implementation of energy efficiency
standards for refrigerator-freezers, it has been estimated that at least 10% of pollution
issues would be reduced in Malaysia. |
