GEMS Overview: Greenhouse & Energy Minimum Standards
The Greenhouse & Energy Minimum Standards (GEMS) framework stands as a pivotal regulatory mechanism for enhancing energy efficiency and environmental performance in commercial refrigeration and various other products distributed in Australia and New Zealand. Originating as an initiative aimed at promoting the development and adoption of products that consume less energy and emit fewer greenhouse gases, GEMS has evolved into a crucial instrument for achieving sustainable business practices.
GEMS is effectively administered by the Equipment Energy Efficiency (E3) Program, a collaborative effort between the governments of Australia and New Zealand. The E3 Program operates with the overarching goal of providing a unified and integrated approach to energy efficiency standards and labelling. This approach is essential for fostering energy-efficient products, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and minimizing energy costs for both households and businesses. It also provides consumers with vital energy efficiency information, empowering them to make informed purchasing decisions.
Energy Comparison Tool
We are pleased to introduce our Energy Comparison Tool, crafted to facilitate precise comparisons of energy consumption, annual energy costs, and Greenhouse & Energy Minimum Standards (GEMS) data across various commercial refrigeration models available in the market. To leverage this tool effectively, input the details of your products, including non-SKOPE items. This user-friendly interface will provide you with invaluable insights into the potential savings in running costs achievable through the adoption of energy-efficient refrigeration solutions. All data has been taken from EECA Greenhouse & Energy Minimum Standards Regulator and is refreshed every 48 hours.
