Government Action: Japan’s Top Runner Program
 Energy conservation law prescribes energy
efficiency standards for appliances/vehicles

Standards - set higher than the best performance value
of each product currently on sale in the market (pull)
 Standard setting takes into account
technological development


21 products are included
Low technology products are phased out (push)

ExCo 05 // 20-22 September 2011
Program (continued)
 Example: passenger vehicle standards were set in 1999
Target: By 2010, fuel economy improvement would be
22.8%
 Fuel economy of passenger vehicles improved by 22.8%
during 1999-2005
 Example: air conditioners saw EE improvement of 67.4%
between 1999-2004
 Companies utilized technologies that they may otherwise
have waited to commercialize
 Improved consumer and retailer awareness – using labels,
etc. - accelerated pace of market penetration

5. Government Action: USA’s Refrigerator
ExCo 05 // 20-22 September 2011
Standards, Labels & Incentives Program
 Between 1945 and 2010, the average refrigerator volume has
increased from 8 cubic ft. to 21 cubic ft.
 Government action on standards, labels and incentives led to
sustained EE improvement
 During 1945-1978 the annual energy used by a typical
refrigerator quadrupled
 In 1978, refrigerator standards were introduced in
California – other states followed
 Since 1978, the annual energy used by a typical
refrigerator has declined steadily - reached 1945 levels in
2010

This has not interrupted the long-term decline in real purchase
price – declined from $1,000 to $600 (2009$)

ExCo 05 // 20-22 September 2011
Standards Labels & Incentives Program (continued)
 Government action on Standards, Labels and Incentives has
accelerated the decline in life cycle costs (LCC) of refrigerators
 During 1945-1978, refrigerator LCC remained steady at
$5,000 (2009$)
 During 1978-2010, refrigerator LCC declined steadily to
$1,000 ((2009$)
 Government action has led to savings of about $20
billion/year in 2010 and $300 billion cumulative since 1978

IPEEC – Platform for Capacity Building
 Worldwide Energy Efficiency Action through Capacity Building and
Training: facilitates the creation, improvement and implementation of
energy efficiency policy-making capacity in developing & emerging
economies.
 Improving Policies through Energy Efficiency Indicators: is exploring the
problems associated with designing and using appropriate
methodologies for developing energy efficiency indicators.

Policy Assistance Network (PAN)
 Strengthen energy efficiency policy design and
implementation through action plans developed during the
workshop.
 Sustain the capacity building initiatives of each training
event.
 Support intra and inter regional cooperation through peer
learning and dialogue.
 Promote establishment of regional knowledge management
hubs that leverage existing regional and IPEEC Task Group
resources to disseminate capacity building content.
