What we do 

Water heating is a basic necessity for every household, and as a result accounts for approximately 20-25% of a home’s energy load. Depending on the fuel type, water heating can also have a significant impact on a home’s carbon footprint. 
 
The purpose of the Forum is to represent the industry and work with governments and other industry stakeholders to develop and implement workable, safe and practical standards and regulations that address water heating’s unique role in Australian homes. It seeks to do this whilst ensuring that an important Australian industry remains viable and competitive. 

Meetings 

Quarterly meetings to be held at Ai Group offices in Brisbane, North Sydney and Melbourne connected by video conference or telephone.
