This study estimated energy, environmental and consumer economic impacts of U.S. federal residential energy efficiency … conclusions--DOE's energy efficiency standards save significant quantities of energy (and associated carbon emissions) and reduce …

energy efficiency standards for furnaces and boilers. A key factor in DOE's consideration of new standards is the economic … impacts on consumers of possible revisions to energy-efficiency standards. Determining cost-effectiveness requires an … appropriate comparison of the additional first cost of energy efficiency design options with the savings in operating costs. DOE …

Korea, are considering enacting standards. The greatest potential impact of minimum efficiency standards for appliances is … if new appliance purchases are for models with higher efficiency than that of existing models. There are several ways to … ensure or encourage such an outcome, for example, appliance rebates, innovative procurement, and minimum efficiency standards …

The minimum energy efficiency standards program for household appliances in China was initiated in 1989. Since 1996 … efficiency requirements for implementation within 6 months of a standard's approval. Since 2003, China has adopted a new approach … a second tier at a more aggressive level of energy efficiency for implementation three to five years later. The second …

Energy efficiency standards for appliances mandate that appliance manufacturers not manufacture or import models that … have a test energy efficiency below a specified level after the standard effective date. Thus, appliance standards set a … floor for energy efficiency. But do they also induce more significant changes in the efficiencies that manufacturers offer …
