Collaborative research and development activities are undertaken within the 4E Platforms, connecting governments with experts and industry. Each target technology areas with a large potential for energy savings where a sustained focus builds knowledge and networks.
How can energy savings in electric motor systems be identified and quantified? The next webinar in the CIPEC (Canadian Industry Partnership for Energy Conservation) Webinar Series will introduce the Motor Systems Tool (MST), an independent calculation tool to support the assessment and optimisation of complete motor systems.
After a long hiatus, we have relaunched our regular TCP newsletter providing updates and information on the work of the TCP and its Platforms.
EDNA has developed a bottom-up hybrid model on global data centre energy demand. The model focuses on computational capacity and efficiency metrics, and projects energy demand of data centres across a range of scenarios and policy options.
4E has relaunched its newsletter covering the latest news and events from the 4E TCP and its Platforms.
The slides from the SSLC Platform’s webinar on the findings from the international interlaboratory comparison (IC 2023) on the measurement of Temporal Light Modulation (TLM).
This report provides an overview of plug-in battery energy storage systems (plug-in BESS) highlighting opportunities and challenges.
The accurate and repeatable testing of products is a basic requirement for energy efficiency programmes and therefore improving tests for variable capacity air conditioners & heat pumps is important. It is particularly timely given the growth in these types of products. 4E is examining potential changes to relevant test procedures culminating in a round robin within 4E countries which will be completed at the end of 2022.
As part of an ongoing investigation, 4E launched a new project in 2021 to better understand the real and current barriers to regulatory policies for systems in 4E jurisdictions. Based on three case studies, the project will focus on Australia, Canada, the EU and Japan.
Additionally, the project will quantify the total savings potential from the implementation of policies for energy-using systems.
This global assessment of the benefits of standards and labelling programmes is the result of collaborative research between 4E and the IEA. Published in 2021 during the lead-in to COP26 it supports the case for increased investment in these programmes to deliver on international climate commitments.
NewsThe Energy Efficiency Policy Toolkit has evolved into an interactive, online tool. This updated version enhances usability and policy impact by incorporating a wide range of case studies, offering practical insights into the successful implementation of energy efficiency policies across diverse national and sectoral contexts.
The IEA Annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency is the leading international forum for advancing energy efficiency. Each year, it brings together ministers, CEOs, and senior leaders from government, finance, and business sectors across the globe, hosted this year by Canada and the IEA in Montreal.
Electricity 2026 is the IEA’s annual report on global electricity systems and markets. It provides in-depth analysis of recent trends and policy developments. It includes forecasts for electricity demand, supply and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for select countries, by region and worldwide. This year the forecast period has been expanded to five years, 2026-2030, compared with the previous three-year outlook.
