The Energy Efficiency Market Report is the IEA’s flagship report on energy efficiency trends around the world.
Questions addressed in this year’s report include: Are we improving energy efficiency fast enough to achieve our climate goals? Which countries and policies are having the greatest impact and what is the secret to their success? How much is being invested in energy efficiency globally, in specific regions and in the main energy-consuming sectors? How are low energy prices impacting energy efficiency investments? What are the multiple benefits of energy efficiency for the climate, energy security and public budgets? What are the market trends for energy efficiency services and financing?
Speaker for this webinar: Tyler Bryant
3. Intensity improving but not fast enough
Global annual energy intensity gains
In 2015, global intensity improved by three times the average of the last decade, despite a low price
environment. Intensity gains need to increase to 2.6% to achieve our climate goals.

5. Energy efficiency is the main driver of
intensity improvements
Final energy demand and energy demand if efficiency had not improved over 2000 levels in IEA countries
Without efficiency gains energy demand in 2015 in IEA countries would have grown by 1% and
would have been higher than the 2007 peak. Instead, energy demand is 1% below 2000 levels.

6. Energy efficiency is saving CO2 emissions
CO2 emissions savings from efficiency improvements since 2000 in IEA countries and China
In 2015, efficiency gains in IEA and China reduced their combined emissions by 15%. Efficiency
policy in China has become one of the most important global actions to reduce emissions.

9. China - an energy efficiency heavyweight
Primary energy savings from efficiency gains since 2000 and renewable energy supply in China
Dramatic progress on energy efficiency since 2006 saved 350 million tonnes of coal in 2014. Energy
savings are as large as China’s renewable energy supply.

10. Gains are driven by the expansion of policy
Share of global energy use covered by mandatory standards and regulations
30% of the world's energy consumption is now covered by mandatory standards and regulations,
up from 11% in 2000.

13. Measuring growth in policy effectiveness:
The EPPI
IEA Efficiency Policy Progress Index (EPPI) increase by end use, 2005-15
The EPPI tracks combined progress of policy coverage and strength. The most progress was in the
buildings sector and the largest potential for improvement is in the freight and industrial sectors.
