Energy Efficiency: Past Development & Future Potential |
|
| Location and date(s) of workshop: |
IEA, Paris: 26-27 April 2004 |
| Organiser(s): | IEA |
| Contact(s): |
|
Background: |
The workshop will begin by examining results from the latest attempts to characterize historical changes in energy usage, and thus by proxy, energy efficiency (including the recent IEA publication, see link below). The discussion will include the policy lessons we may infer from these studies, as well as number of methodological and data issues. Building upon that base, the workshop will then consider the concept of energy efficiency potential, addressing the questions “How much energy efficiency is achievable, and to what extent does it depend upon the policy environment?” We will review key schools of thought in the debate, and explore the impact that methodology choice and policy and market conditions have upon estimates of energy efficiency potential. |
