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.
Today, the Smart Sustainability in Lighting and Controls (SSLC) Platform published a comprehensive review of the scientific knowledge acquired over the last ten years on the effects of solid
A new 15-minute tutorial video is now available, showcasing how to work with the Motor Systems Tool.
The IEC Advisory Committee on Energy Efficiency (ACEE) has recently published the second edition of Guide 118: Preparation of basic and group energy efficiency publications including energy efficiency aspects. A webinar on 12 September@1 PM CEST explains how to address energy efficiency in standardisation, with the new Guide 118.
This report offers a comprehensive review of the scientific knowledge acquired in the course of the last ten years on the effects of solid state light on human health.
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.
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.
NewsThis 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 …
