On 25 July 2013, the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities released Cold Hard Facts 2: A study of the refrigeration and air conditioning industry in Australia. The report provides detailed insights into the size and structure of the refrigeration and air conditioning industry in Australia, the estimated bank of equipment and refrigerant and estimated direct and indirect emissions.
Cold Hard Facts 2 builds on the work undertaken in the original Cold Hard Facts that was completed in 2007. The reports are the most complete studies of the refrigeration and air conditioning conducted anywhere in the world. The report also establishes benchmarks for industry that can be used in future years as reference points against which to measure growth and change.This report provides useful information about refrigeration and air conditioning industry issues. It is strongly recommended that RACCA members read this document.
The report is available from the website of Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities and can be found here.
