Collaborative research and development activities are undertaken within the 4E Annexes, 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.
A new report by the IEA 4E Solid State Lighting Annex provides a look across the body of literature on lifetime definitions for LEDs and LED products. The reports
The Motor Summit Switzerland is a well-established national conference that brings together experts, researchers, manufacturers, and representatives of industrial users, as well as government and educational institutions. It provides
The 3rd PECTA experts workshop (online) with more than 30 attendees took place on April 7, 2021.
This report provides an overview of small network equipment (e.g. routers and modems), investigates options for policies and estimates the potential for energy savings.
A summary of the literature on lifetime definitions for LEDs and LED products, including a look at failure mechanisms, accelerated life tests and test methods for estimating lifetime, and
Spanish translation of the EMSA newsletter of March 2021.
With the uptake of air conditioning growing globally, this project seeks to ensure that the performance testing of the popular inverter-type units (heat pumps) is sufficiently robust to support national regulations for energy efficiency
Systems represent a significant potential for new energy savings, and their regulation could provide flexibility in ways that industry can meet policy requirements
The options for harmonising technical standards and regulations for pumps, fans and compressors which globally consume an estimated at 6,560 TWh of electricity (larger than the total electricity consumption of China)
