Governments with effective, mature, energy efficiency programmes covering a diverse range of appliances and equipment.
National and regional governments are represented by entities responsible for energy efficiency policy.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) works with governments and industry to shape a secure and sustainable energy future for all.
Stay up to date with the latest news stories from the IEA below:
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.

Sandie B. Nielsen, the developer of the Motor Systems Tool will hold a webinar on 10 September 3 PM CEST to show the Tool to interested users. A great opportunity to try the Tool and ask questions from its developer!
EMSA just released a new Policy Brief, summarising the key findings of four recent EMSA publications on digitalisation in electric motor systems. These explain in detail the benefits of digitalisation.
This Policy Brief summarises the key findings of four recent EMSA publications on digitalisation in electric motor systems.
In this publication, EMSA provides recommendations for industrial end-users on how to digitalise their motor systems.
This report summarises EMSA’s research on the digitalisation of electric motor systems between 2021 – 2024. It formulates nine recommendations for policy makers on how to advance digitalisation in motor systems.
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.
This report provides the strategic vision of experts from the IEA Technology Collaboration Programmes (TCPs) on how to help achieve some of the most impactful short-term milestones for the buildings sector outlined in the IEA’s Net
Growth in energy use by household appliances shows no signs of decelerating, yet only one-third of appliance energy use today is covered by mandatory performance standards.
Like other forms of traditional flexibility, demand-side flexibility is largely centralised and restricted to large industrial or commercial consumers. 2019 was a mixed year for demand-response …
