Regulatory Energy Policy Can Increase Energy
EfficiencyThree Lessons Learned from 25 Years
of LBNL Policy Analyses

• Appliance standards and labels are the most
  cost-effective energy policy
• Appliance standards and labels set market rules
  -- then let market ingenuity find the best
  technology
• Appliance standards and labels are effective in
  conjunction with most other energy policies and
  should be the backbone of every countrys energy
  policy portfolio

Appliance Standards and Labels Can Benefit
National EconomiesImpact in the US from 1990 to
2010

• Cumulative net dollar savings 33 to 49
  billion
• Primary energy savings 10.6 to 12.7 exajoules
  (5.1 to 6.1
  of 2010 residential energy use)
• Average benefit/cost ratio 3.5 to 4.6
• Each federal dollar contributes 160 to 220 of
  net savings to the US economy
• Annual carbon reductions 9 to 16 million
  metric tons of carbon/year (from 2000 through
  2010)

There is Huge Potential for Reducing Energy Use
in Buildings Worldwide

Use of Appliance Standards and Labels is
Spreading

• U.S. - mandatory standards since 1975, starting
  in California
• Russia - standards since 1978 recently initiated
  collaboration with U.S. to update
• Japan - one target-based standard in 1979 lots
  more in 1994
• Taipei China - many voluntary, some mandatory
  standards since 1980
• Australia - mandatory labels since 1986
• China - many mandatory standards since 1989
• India - voluntary labels since 1991 voluntary
  standards since 1997
• Korea - many mandatory labels and standards since
  1992
• Philippines - mandatory labels and standards for
  RAC since 1993
• Thailand - voluntary labels since 1994
• Switzerland - target-based standards since 1994
• Mexico - mandatory labels and standards since
  1995
• Hong Kong - voluntary labels since 1995
• Canada - mandatory labels and standards since
  1995
• Singapore, Indonesia, New Zealand, South Korea -
  recently proposed or enacted
• EU countries - some standards 1962 to 1980 EU
  labels since 1995
  standards proposed for 2000

Emphasis on Efficiency Standards and Labels is
Increasing

• "Within the broad area of the changes required in
  the energy systems of both developing and
  developed countries, UNF has chosen two specific
  programmatic areas which would have a highly
  leveraged impact on the future development
  patterns of the developing world energy
  efficiency labeling and standards, and
  community-based rural electrification using
  sustainable energy technologies"
• United Nations
  Foundation Strategic Discussion on
• Environment-
  Climate Change, Executive Summary, 1999
• "Reduce energy use of new buildings in developing
  and transition economies by 2020 by assisting
  them to develop efficiency standards, ratings and
  labeling for building equipment as well as design
  tools, energy codes, and standards for building
  shells. Encourage multilateral banks and the
  Global Environment Facility in support of these
  measures"

Several Organizations are Sponsoring
International Labeling and Standards Programs

• USAID
• UN Foundation
• Energy Foundation/Packard Foundation
• US EPA
• US DOE

LBNL and Others Have Formed a NewCollaborative
Labeling and Appliance Standards Program (CLASP)

• Mission Increase the design, implementation
  and enforcement of energy efficiency standards
  and labels for residential commercial
  appliances, equipment lighting in developing
  and transitional countries
• Partners Alliance to Save Energy
• International Institute for Energy
  Conservation (IIEC)
• Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL)
• Affiliates Testing Laboratories
