How AC Wise Researches Its Information

Our source approach

Depending on the subject, AC Wise may use information from:

• Australian Government departments and agencies
• state and territory regulators
• energy-efficiency and climate authorities
• refrigerant and licensing authorities
• recognised Australian HVAC industry organisations
• publicly available standards information where appropriate
• manufacturer technical documentation
• peer-reviewed or reputable technical research
• practical industry experience where clearly identified

Different information has different authority

Not every technical recommendation is a legal requirement.

Where relevant, AC Wise aims to distinguish between:

• legal and regulatory requirements
• licensing requirements
• Australian Standards
• recognised industry guidance or best practice
• manufacturer requirements
• AC Wise educational guidance

Statistics

We aim to identify the source and context of significant statistics used in AC Wise educational content.

Where reliable current data is unavailable, we prefer to explain that limitation rather than present an estimate as an established fact.

Commercial relationships

AC Wise may work with manufacturers, service providers and other industry organisations.

Commercial relationships do not remove our responsibility to distinguish advertising and sponsorship from general educational information.

Where a commercial relationship is relevant to content, we aim to disclose it clearly.

Reviews and updates

Regulations, technology, product information and industry guidance change.

Important AC Wise educational pages may display publication or review dates so readers can understand when information was last assessed.
