 The National Energy Efficiency Industry Awards are Australia's highest profile awards for energy efficiency, and recognise excellence in performance, leadership and innovation in the sector.  The awards are run by Australia's peak body for energy efficiency, the Energy Efficiency Council, and this year special categories are being delivered in partnership with Energy Users Association of Australia and NSW Office of Environment and Heritage.

The Federal Government has launched a new Energy Rating Mobile App focused on giving consumers information on the cost of using of a product over its lifetime.

Based on the energy rating label data, the app shows power use over the life of a product in dollars rather than kilowatt hours. With the app available on mobile phones, consumers will be able to access energy efficiency data at the point of purchase, whether in-store or online, and factor running costs into their purchasing decisions.
