New Energy Indicators for Buildings and Appliances: The Way Forward
 
Location and date(s) of workshop:
Paris: 25-26 October 2007
   
Organiser(s): IEA
   
Contact(s):
   

Background:

At their 2005 Gleneagles Summit the G8 leaders asked the IEA to provide advice on a clean, clever and competitive energy future. As part of its response, the IEA is developing in-depth indicators to provide state-of-the-art data and analysis on energy use and efficiency developments, which can better inform policy-making. The new IEA indicator publication, Energy Use in the New Millennium: Trends in IEA countries (to be launched 10 September 2007), examines how changes in energy efficiency and other factors have affected recent trends in energy use and CO2 emissions. The analysis also highlights the need for further work to develop better energy indicators and data across all end-use sectors. The purpose of this workshop is to discuss what new indicators and data are needed to support energy efficiency policy for buildings and appliances and to inform and guide the future development of the IEA’s indicators work in these areas.
