The objective of this project was to analyze the divergence and convergence of energy efficiency standards and labeling practices in select product categories to identify opportunities for harmonization efforts that will facilitate trade of environmental goods among member economies. The full report, found here, includes technical information on standards, labeling and testing and measuring methods […]

This paper provides a succinct introduction to and summary of, the policies, programs and benchmarking tools implemented by APEC member economies to improve energy efficiency in the industrial sector.

This work aims to provide a unique planning document for APEC member economies by sharing experiences of the successful introduction of renewable energy and energy efficiency in the industrial sector throughout APEC. It includes a generic roadmap that defines the actions required by governments to support this implementation, their inter-dependence and the sequence in which […]

Despite the great diversity of economic and political climates of the 21 APEC members, workshop participants identified several common challenges that almost every economy faces, such as the lack of reliable and comprehensive information, the need for effective education of policymakers and the public, and institutional barriers. They developed the following sets of recommendations: Institutional […]

In industrially-developed nations and large developing nations, electric motors account for a considerable proportion of total national power consumption. Statistics indicate that electric motors are responsible for about two-thirds of industrial power consumption in each nation, or about 40% of overall power consumption, which means that the electric motor system consumes 679 billion kWh of electric power each year. Adopting existing well-established energy-conserving technologies and products would result in savings of approximately 11–18% (75–122 billion kWh) of electric power annually, which would also mean saving US $3.6–5.8 billion in electricity costs.

This report includes a standard methodology and analytic software platform that determines the SEER value for room air conditioners, in effort to aid the design of high-efficiency air conditioners, reduce the market trade barriers between APEC communities, and reduce CO2 emissions from air conditioning activity.
