Background: |
This workshop has its origins in three ongoing international activities. First, the IEA's G8 Gleneagles Programme is promoting energy-sector innovation, better practice and use of enhanced technology. Within this rubric the agency has already made broad-based concrete recommendations to the G8 concerning the adoption of best practice in energy efficient lighting. Second, the CFL Quality Charter of the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission. Third, the European Union’s ENERLIN project, which aims to develop a coherent strategy to transform the residential lighting market. This workshop is organised as a joint activity of these three initiatives but aims to provide an open forum through which actors in these and other concerned international fora can come together to accelerate the replacement of incandescent lighting with higher efficiency alternatives.
This workshop will directly contribute to the definition of best practice policy responses towards incandescent lighting. The workshop explored key technology and policy themes relating to energy efficiency in buildings. The findings of this workshop will be central to the formulation of government thinking with regard to incandescent replacement strategies and will directly contribute to the following: - The IEA’s response to its mandate under the G8’s Gleneagle’s Initiative on Climate Change, Clean Energy and Sustainable Development - The future direction of IEA Implementing Agreements and international R&D effor - especially concerning the activities of a proposed new Implementing Agreement looking at the energy efficiency of end-use equipment - The orientation and design of lighting energy efficiency policies within IEA and EU member countries - The preparation of the IEA’s 2007 Energy Ministerial Meeting - Potential international initiatives in this general area |
