A Green List - Energy Efficiency
from Christchurch City Libraries

With the onset of winter, thoughts turn to keeping warm. If you are also thinking about energy efficiency and alternative heating, guidebooks can be found at your library. Information about heating systems can also be found in a variety of sources besides books. The Central library holds a number of useful magazines, as well as New Zealand standards relating to the installation of heating equipment. Free web access at all libraries includes such sites as the CCC list of authorised fuel burning equipment (at www.ccc.govt.nz/CleanAir ) and equipment reviews via the library's own index to Consumer Magazine.
