which it is designed, constructed or adapted to be used. A Class 7b
building is one used “ for storage, or display of goods or produce
for sale by wholesale”. a plant or machinery room must have the same
classification as the part of the building in which it is
situated.

March this year ISECO has been working with one of our supermarket
clients and their refrigeration contractors to develope a
CO2/R134a cascade Refrigeration Design. This has now been
approved and is in construction with a microchannel
Condenser. The current R290 Chest freezers, together with the
new Cascade Refrigeration System will provide a low TEWI option
at a workable cost for our client.

ISECO
Consulting Services has interpreted the Greenhouse
and Energy Reporting ACT 2010 and the Energy Efficiency
Opportunities ACT 2006 to determine the Compliance Duties that
affect the refrigeration energy Users.
As
most food processing and distribution companies are large
refrigeration and energy users, this legislation will have an effect
on your business. To simplify these new requirements, ISECO have
prepared an interpretation of the two Acts and supporting
regulations. This documents is intended to provide a simple overview
of the current situation and what may be expected in the near future
by way of compliance requirements and carbon offset
costs.
