Compressed air is a vital utility for many companies. But many compressors in New Zealand businesses don't run efficiently, wasting energy and costing their owners money.

This fact sheet outlines EECA's Air Efficiency Rating Scheme (AERS) which helps smaller users ensure their compressors are as energy efficient as possible, to reduce costs and improve productivity.

For many businesses, refrigeration systems consume large amounts of electricity, thereby contributing greatly to operating costs. Improvements to technical aspects of operations have the potential to reduce energy use by up to 40%, whilst simple improvements in operational practices can reduce energy use by 15%.

Aimed at refrigeration operators, this guide outlines system changes that can be made to improve the performance of equipment, reduce operating costs and improve profitability.
