Improving energy efficiency is the best way to simultaneously meet all of our sustainable development goals in the energy sector. It helps economies grow, frees resources for other objectives and reduces negative environmental impacts, including greenhouse gas emissions. Consumers are often inclined to buy the cheapest product on the market. This burdens them with much higher running cost for years to come, and countries with the need to invest much more in energy supply networks than would be needed if all products would comply with minimum energy performance requirements.

Neither one customer nor one manufacturer alone can alter this situation. Ratings and labels work best as part of a holistic market transformation strategy. One such strategy is Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS). MEPS establish standards for energy performance that products must meet or exceed before they can be sold to consumers. It improves the average efficiency of products available on the market and raises the performance of the least efficient products.

This session brings together industry experts to exchange knowledge on the policies to be framed and intervened for energy efficiency in buildings.
