- Additional information
- The work was commissioned by DTI (now BEIS) to evaluate for the first time, the operational temperature and energy consumption of ~1000 refrigerators. The data was used to compare performance of appliances in the home and in the laboratory. The work provides information to policy makers to be able to estimate energy use of domestic refrigerators in the home which has to date been underestimated. The work led to a collaboration with the University of Turin (Dr A Biglia, co-author) and further papers on related topics (Biglia A, Gemmell A, Foster H, Evans J. International Journal of Refrigeration).
