Theme: Latest sustainability news
Latest in EVs: Peter Gorton has recently returned from the Australian Electric Vehicle Association expo in Brisbane. Highlights included the display of the new Hyundai Ioniq EV, discussion of new electric passenger planes and important announcements concerning standardisation of charging plugs on EV. Pete will give a critical rundown of what was noteworthy at the expo.
Upgraded windows ratings scheme: As most people are aware there is an energy rating system in place for windows (WERS). However there wasn’t a system that would help you decide which honeycomb blind, for example, would perform better. Peter Lyons will bring us up to date on the new energy rating scheme for window coverings.
The WincovER scheme has been implemented in Australia with equivalent rating systems being established in the US and EU countries.
