Households

Households play an important role in mitigating climate change by using energy more efficiently. We can help to alleviate negative climate change by :

  •  designing an energy efficient home

  •  buying energy efficient appliances

  •  adopting energy-saving habits

 

  1. National Environmental Agency (NEA) organised energy efficiency-focused community events all over Singapore

  2. The public could browse through a range of energy-saving household appliances and enjoy many special offers at each booth

  3. Products include energy efficient air-conditioners, refrigerators and dryers, fans etc.

  4. The public can check out climate change panels and an eco-home.

  1. Energy intensive appliances have the greatest impact on a household's energy use. 

  2. To enable households to make better energy choices, NEA introduced the Mandatory Energy Labelling Scheme (MELS) for the two most energy intensive appliances, namely air-conditioners and refrigerators, in Jan 2008.

  3. The scheme was extended to clothes dryers in 2009.

  4. Registered model’s Certificate of Registration (COR)

  5. Valid for 3 years

  6. Ensures that the product will be up to the latest standards of energy-efficiency.
