Reducing our use of energy for
buildings and appliances decreases the demand for primary energy and is a
key means to deliver better economic performance, increase energy security
and reduce greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions. Partner countries
have recognized for some time the importance of cooperating on energy
efficiency for buildings and appliances, and have already taken a range of
bilateral and other collaborative actions in this area. As the Partners
represent a majority of the world’s manufacturing capacity for a diverse
range of appliances, we have the potential to drive significant regional
and global improvements in energy efficiency in this sector. The Partners
will demonstrate technologies, enhance and exchange skills relating to
energy efficiency auditing, share experiences and policies on best
practices with regard to standards and codes, as well as labelling schemes
for buildings, building materials and appliances.
Objectives
-
Use cooperative mechanisms to support the further uptake of increasingly
more energy efficient appliances, recognizing that extensive cooperative
action is already occurring between Partner countries.
-
Promote best practice and demonstrate technologies and building design
principles to increase energy efficiency in building materials and in
new and existing buildings.
-
Support the integration of appropriate mechanisms to increase the uptake
of energy efficient buildings and appliances into broader national
efforts that support sustainable development, increase energy security
and reduce environmental impacts.
-
Systematically identify and respond to the range of barriers that limit
the implementation of end-use energy efficiency practices and
technologies.
