International Standards to Promote Energy Efficiency and Reduce Carbon Emissions
 
Location and date(s) of workshop:
OECD Conference Centre, Paris: 16-17 March 2009
   
Organiser(s): Joint workshop of the International Energy Agency, International Organization for Standardization and International Electrotechnical Commission

Background:

For effective public policy and private sector actions to promote energy efficiency it is essential to establish internationally recognised energy efficiency test procedures and methodologies to define and measure energy efficiency and to provide guidance on how to optimise performance. While much energy efficiency standardization work has already been done, a great deal still remains to do if technical standards are to cover all energy end-uses and if it is to be possible to measure energy efficiency progress from the micro to macro level. This workshop brings together leading policymakers, standardization professionals and key private sector actors to discuss how to accelerate progress in energy efficiency standardization.
