Meeting Energy Efficiency Goals: Enhancing Compliance, Monitoring and Evaluation

Location and date(s) of workshop:	IEA, Paris, 28-29 February 2008

Organiser(s):	IEA / International Task Force for Sustainable Products

Contact(s):	ingrid.barnsley@iea.org

Background:	Many policies now exist, both mandatory and voluntary, for improving energy efficiency and minimising greenhouse gas emissions, but there is frequently a gap between expectations of what such policies will achieve and their actual impacts. This gap represents a substantial lost opportunity to maximise saved energy, reduce the cost of energy services and greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance energy security. This workshop, co-sponsored by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the International Task Force for Sustainable Products (ITFSP), seeks to bring together public and private sector stakeholders to share information on effective frameworks for compliance, monitoring and evaluation in relation to energy efficiency measures. The workshop will open and close with plenary sessions that address common themes and concerns relating to compliance and evaluation. In between these sessions, three parallel working groups will convene to focus on particular issues associated with: - Energy Efficiency in the Buildings Sector; - Energy Efficiency in the Equipment and Appliances Sector; and - Evaluating Energy Efficiency Measures.
