MHIAA secures best brand recommendation
CAPPING OFF AN incredible 20th anniversa- ry year, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Air-Condi- tioners Australia, Pty. Ltd. (MHIAA) has once again been recognised as the Best Brand of Air Conditioners by leading consumer advocacy group CHOICE.
The Best Brand recommendation is based on test reviews of over 140 split system air condi- tioners and the results of the annual reliability and satisfaction survey completed by 7,738 CHOICE members.
According to CHOICE, the Best Brand is given to companies with a clear lead over their com- petitors during the test period.
Factors include performance over the last 12 months, customer satisfaction and reliability in- formation submitted by CHOICE members on their experience with the brand.
This is then combined with the bi-annual re- view of split systems conducted independently by CHOICE. All of this information together con- tributes to securing Best Brand recognition.
Overall MHIAA out-performed all compet- itors with an overall Best Brand Score of 79% to be awarded the Best Brand of Air Condi- tioners for 2019.
Managing director of MHIAA Mr. Yuji Ito said receiving this winning title for the second time exemplifies the company’s commitment to bringing high quality and reliable products to the Australian market.

publication by the group at their last meeting. Product group chair, Jan Andersson, said the new methodology paves the way for easy filter
evaluation.
“It brings new opportunities when evaluating
the energy efficiency of ventilation units and supports the upcoming revisions to Ecodesign requirements.”

THE EUROVENT ASSOCIATION has released the fourth edition of the widely-applied Eurovent Recommendation 4/21 – Energy Efficiency Evalu- ation of air filters for general ventilation purposes.
The updated guidelines set out a new method for the determination of the annual energy con- sumption for filters oper- ating at an airflow rate
other than normal. Eurovent 4/21 was first
published in 2014 and has since gone through several revisions and editions.
The aim of this guideline is to assess the yearly ener-
gy consumption based on a laboratory test pro- cedure which can be the basis for an energy effi- ciency classification, to give the user of air filters guidance for the filter selection.
The guidelines were compiled by participants of the Eurovent Product Group “Air Filters” (PG- FIL) which represents the bulk of manufacturers of these products active on the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) market.
It sets a new method for the determination of the annual energy consumption for filters oper- ating at an airflow rate other than nominal.
The new methodology has been developed based on a series of tests carried out by the PG-FIL techni- cal subcommittee, and unanimously approved for
