IPENZ Design Guide - Cold Store Engineering
Following a year long process of information collection, collation, editing and peer review, IPENZ has published "Coldstore Engineering in New Zealand", a Pratice Note containing design guidelines that are aimed to provide information to a variety of parties that may be involved in the design, build and/or maintenance of coldstores.
The document was launched by the Minister of Building & Housing, Maurice Williamson, on 3 June.
The Association issued the following Press Statement following the launch:
The NZ Cold Storage Association welcomes the launch of the Cold Store Engineering Design Guide and congratulates IPENZ on their initiative in putting together this publication. Thanks are offered to IPENZ, in particular Cameron Smart, to the members of the working group who assisted IPENZ with much of the content and to Gerry Coates who chaired the working group. We are happy to have played a role in the working group and acknowledge individual members of the Association who were also part of the group in their own right as experts in key areas.
The Association looks forward to ensuring that the information in the guide is made available to its membership. It has managed to pull together a range of information that covers a wide variety of rules, requirements and experience and which is unlikely to be available to cold store operators in any other single place.
It is expected that it will be useful to both new and existing cold store operators as the industry works hard to improve design and operation of cold storage in New Zealand and to improve the operational efficiency and productivity in our industry where reductions in energy use are important.
