Chair’s Statement

As well as being a corner stone of the energy transition, the use of energy efficiency to lower consumer energy bills and increase employment is being increasingly recognised. 

The COP28 saw countries agree an ambitious pledge on energy efficiency. Specifically, the pledge aims to double the global annual rate of energy efficiency improvement from two percent to over four percent every year until 2030. 

Enhancing the energy efficiency of end-use equipment is key in realising this aim. There are already existing polices and measures, such as efficiency and labelling requirements, which have been shown to be highly effective at improving the energy efficiency of energy-using equipment placed on markets, lower consumer bills. 

The International Energy Agency’s Technology Collaboration Programme on Energy Efficiency End-use Equipment (4E TCP) provides a platform for governments with existing programmes to collaborate and share best practices for implementing and developing effective energy efficiency policies. The completion and success of the first three terms of the 4E TCP underscore its utility. 

In March 2024, the 4E TCP began its fourth term, and I am delighted to have taken the position of 4E TCP Chair. The fourth term has commenced with renewed vigour and expanded horizons. The goals for this term include continuing with conventional efficiency measures while also focusing on emerging areas, such demand flexibility, system-wide improvements and the rise of new end-uses such as data centres. These efforts will align with the overarching aims of governments and the global energy transition, ensuring that energy systems become more adaptable and resilient.

This report provides summaries of our activities and achievements in 2024, which I hope you find informative and inspiring.

The ongoing success of 4E TCP would not have been possible without the unwavering support of its members. As we embark on this new term, I extend my gratitude to all member countries and stakeholders for their dedication and contribution to advancing global energy efficiency. Together, we can continue to drive progress towards a sustainable and energy-efficient future.

Overview of 4E Structure and Activities

Executive Committee

4E is managed by an Executive Committee (ExCo) comprising one voting delegate from each of the 15 Members.

The ExCo manages the work programme of 4E, including the dissemination of 4E’s research results. Secretariat functions for the ExCo are provided by the Programme Manager, funded by annual membership fees.

With the start of the fourth 4E term, the ExCo will meet every 4-5 months, alternating between a physical in-person ExCo meetings and shorter online ExCo meetings. Making use of online meetings was done to reduce transport CO2 emissions and costs to members. 

Since March 2024, Thore Stenfeldt (Denmark) has been the 4E Chair, for a term of two years. At the same time, Hans-Paul Siderius (Netherlands), Brian Fitzgerald (New Zealand), Ashley Armstrong (United States) and Laura Gritt (United Kingdom) were approved as 4E Vice-Chairs for a two-year period.

The 33rd ExCo meeting of the ExCo was held in Golden, Colorado, United States in September 2024. The following ExCo took place on line in January 2025. A full list of the 15 Members of the ExCo during 2024 is shown in Attachment 1.

The next physical ExCo meeting will take place in Denmark in May 2025.

Platforms

Platforms provide a mechanism for collaborative research amongst 4E Members on key technologies or topics. 

 Platform managers are paid to manage and coordinate the platforms on behalf of the members.

The 4E structure is show below, and this highlights the four existing 4E Platforms. 

Until February 2024, Platforms were termed Annexes. Under the 4th 4E term, EDNA (previously Electronic Devices and Networked Appliances Annex) and SSLC (previously, the Solid State Lighting Annex) also renamed their platforms. 

Reports on all currently operating Platforms are included later in this report.

Energy consumption of appliances is increasing, but energy efficiency offers rapid improvements due to high turnover rates.

IEA Energy Efficiency 2024

4E Tasks

4E Tasks are developed and funded by the Executive Committee to assist the development and implementation of policies for energy efficient
end-use equipment.    

These research activities cover a wide range of technologies and cross-cutting issues and benefit from the collective insights provided by all 4E Members.

During 2024, the notable achievements of the some prominent 4E Tasks are illustrated on the following pages.

Product Energy Efficiency Trends (PEET)

The PEET Task assists 4E Members to understand the performance of products across economies and regions and over time.

It does this by examining the scope and stringency of regulatory policies within 4E economies and using crawling technology to scan product offered for sale on websites. 

Regular PEET workshops enable policy makers and regulators to conduct deep dives into the scope, test methods and stringency of national regulations to understand the national variations and potential for closer alignment. It also facilitates the transference of innovative policy approaches between regions, speeding up the implementation of effective policies.

In addition to getting market information, 4E also holds workshops on topics. 4E members met in 2024 for four workshops to discuss the following important topics:

The PEET Task assists 4E Members to understand the performance of products across economies and regions and over time.

  • Heat pump installers (25 June, online)
  • Home energy management systems (September, Colorado, United States)
  • Home battery systems (September, Colorado, United States)
  • Photovoltaic (PV) inverters (September, Colorado, United States)

Whilst government policy may aim to increase energy efficiency to benefit its citizens, environment, and business, any increase in the initial purchase prices can be problematic, thus important to understand.

The 4E has been looking at obtaining information on prices for products sold online, as a means to obtain real time prices being offered to consumers. These data collected include the product features (such as screen size for televisions). The latest run was complete at the end of 2023, with an initial analyse completed in 2024, and new runs planned for 2025.

The analysed data provide simple statistics, such as purchase price, efficiency, and features (such as size), but can also be used for more sophisticated analysis. Initial regression analysis shows that correlation between price and efficiency is not significant for some products in different markets.

Heat Pump and Air conditioners – results of a round robin from a new load testing procedure

Image of report of Heat Pump and Air conditioners – results of a round robin from a new load testing procedure

4E previously developed a new test procedure to better reflect the benefits of dynamic load control, beyond a test which locks the fans and compressors at a fixed speed. 

4E published a report which provides the results of a round-robin testing across multiple international laboratories to evaluate the reproducibility and representativeness of this new Test Method for air conditioner and heat pump products.

The key takeaways on the new 4E TCP test method:

  • has high reproducibility. Comparing results from lab to lab, the coefficients of variance were below 10% in all but one test condition for one unit.
  • is more representative than locked controls tests. The 4E Test Method highlights differences in efficiency when compared to locked-controls testing.
  • has a higher test burden than locked controls tests; though a virtual building load can help improve the stability of units.

The 4E Test Method is already influencing test procedures. The United States regulatory test procedure for air conditioners and heat pumps now includes a controls verification procedure based on the 4E method. By incorporating a virtual building load, the research team expects the 4E Test Method will improve the representativeness of air conditioner and heat pump testing in other jurisdictions as well.

PEET workshop on Insights into heat pump installers

An online 4E internal workshop to examine issues around heat pumps installers was undertaken in June.

The main areas examined were initiatives to mitigate market shortcomings for installing heat pumps in residential settings. The findings were focussed on (i) increasing the availability and capacity of Installers, and (ii) to increase the quality of heat pump installations.

4E will continue to examine best policy for heat pumps in 2025, especially for regulators of energy efficiency.

Co-ordination with IEA and other organisations

As one of over 30 Technology Collaboration Programmes (TCPs) established under the framework of the International Energy Agency (IEA), the 4E TCP has a particularly close relationship with the IEA Secretariat and other TCPs.

The collaborative activities of 4E in 2024 included:

  • Delivering webinars in partnership with the IEA
  • Making contributions to the IEA flagship publication ‘Energy Efficiency 2024’.
  • Supporting three new TCP coordination groups, including one on Heat Pumps, Demand flexibility,
    and the renewed Building Co-ordination group.
  • Exchanges with the IEA’s Energy Efficiency Division at the meetings of the 4E Executive Committee.

Intergovernmental and Standardisation Organisations

4E engages continuously with a range of intergovernmental organisations, including but not limited to:
  • The Energy Efficiency Hub – particularly the The Digitalisation Working Group
  • The Clean Energy Ministerial – particularly through the IEA and SEAD
  • The Super-Efficient Equipment and Appliances Deployment Initiative (SEAD)
  • United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) – particularly through United for Efficiency (U4E)
  • International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

4E EMSA has been at the forefront of the establishment of the ISO & IEC Joint Advisory Group: JAG 22, Efficiency (ACEE), which represents an important milestone in energy efficiency standardisation. Its role is to advise, guide and co-ordinate activities in ISO and IEC relating to optimising the energy consumption of Electric Driven Machine Units. 

4E EMSA was an advisory board member of the European Motor Renovation Initiative (EU-MORE), exploring opportunities for the replacement of inefficient motors.

Industry and Academia

4E has extensive contact with a variety of industry organisations and companies. The 4E TCP runs workshops to gain industry input to 4E’s work. These tend to focus on private sector companies related to our workstreams, such as suppliers of motor systems, solid state lighting, power electronics, ICT equipment and air conditioning.

Depending on the topic, we may also seek industry comments on our published materials or conduct formal consultation processes. 4E Members also participate in many formal standardisation processes, contributing to the results of work undertaken by 4E, which has often been commissioned specially to inform standards development.

Some of 4E’s Platforms have specific advisory groups formed from academia and relevant industries.

Platform Achievements in 2024

The following pages shows the key achievements of the four 4E TCP platforms

EMSA activities provide broad policy support for improving the energy efficiency of electric motor driven systems in industry, buildings and the energy sector.

In 2024 the work centred around closing the last 5-year period and starting the activities of the new 5-year period, until 2029, including new research topics, such as demand flexibility in industrial motor systems, wide bandgap industrial variable speed drives, or future policies for efficient motor systems.

EMSA continues work on coordination on and improving of energy efficiency testing standards and providing related calculation tools. EMSA’s work lays the ground for designing and implementing efficient policies through evidence-based research, information and experience exchange and awareness raising.

EMSA compliments work done by national regulators, international standardisation organisations, non-governmental organisations and relevant initiatives in the field, by working on topics of interest that are not researched in detail by others, or by contributing with specific knowledge of EMSA experts.

Major Achievements During 2024

Publication of four reports on the digitalisation of electric motor systems (see below). With these reports, EMSA contributed to the body of knowledge with evidence-based research in this domain, offering practical technical and policy advice, thereby providing guidance and enhancing international exchange on policy experience, challenges and lessons learned. Two out the four reports were referenced in the Danfoss Impact Issue no. 6 on Competitive decarbonisation (2024).

EMSA in collaboration with PECTA drew up a wide bandgap industrial Variable Speed Drives Research Roadmap, which serves as a planning and coordination tool for input to the upcoming White Book on Wide Bandgap Semiconductors for Industrial Variable Speed Drives. The White Book will aim to address the barriers to the adoption of Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) for industrial Variable Speed Drives.

EMSA representatives presented key EMSA work outcomes to a broader audience at four of the Motors Academy webinar series (see below). Through this channel, EMSA contributed to raising awareness on the savings potential of motor systems through digitalisation, building capacities for the assessment of system level savings through the use of the Motor Systems Tool, enhancing exchange on international standards and Minimum Energy Performance Standards and keeping track of technology trends with regard to wide bandgap industrial Variable Speed Drives.

EMSA published on its website a world map showing the status of MEPS worldwide, for motors and VSDs. This is complemented with an overview of the related standards, and the underlying national sources.

During the 13th international conference on Energy Efficiency in Motor Driven Systems (eemods’24), EMSA played an active role through participation in the International Programme Committee, several speakers including a keynote speech on current and future EMSA activities, EMSA representatives acting as session chairs and EMSA being among the sponsors of the conference. Two EMSA representatives from Switzerland were directly involved in the conference organisation committee. This conference is the major event in the field of efficient electric motor systems and offers an excellent opportunity for knowledge and experience exchange among a wide range of stakeholders, including policy makers, academia and industry, enhancing a global dialogue.

EMSA works within IEC’s ACEE on harmonisation and further alignment of energy efficiency standardisation for systems. The newly published Guide 118 assists standard makers in applying a systems approach into their standards.

The SSLC Platform provides information and analysis that supports regulatory processes in several countries, and works to improve international lighting test standards and metrology.

With the European Commission joining as a new Member in 2024, the SSLC Platform now constitutes seven active Members working across the eight tasks in the workplan.

Globally, lighting accounts for approximately 12 percent of end-use electricity, and Solid State Lighting (SSL) and Controls have the potential to reduce that consumption by 50% or more. The policy-focused work of the Smart Sustainability in Lighting and Controls (SSLC) Platform covers four critical areas:

1. SSL product quality and performance;

2. SSL testing, metrics and standards;

3. Public health, productivity and environmental impacts; and

4. Smart lighting, digitalisation and connectivity.

The collaborative work of the SSLC Platform ensures that member governments can undertake efforts that have bigger impact than any individual member government could achieve on their own. This includes time, resources, information exchange and knowledge transfer. The SSLC Platform’s work is primarily conducted through in-kind contributions from member country’s national Experts. The quality of the outcomes is enhanced through the frequent international cooperation of our Experts.

Major Achievements During 2024

Health Effects of Solid-State Lighting: In 2024, the SSLC Platform published a comprehensive review of the scientific knowledge from the last ten years on the effects of solid state lighting (SSL) on human health. The report was followed by a series of international webinars presenting different aspects of the review: Temporal Light Modulation (TLM), often referred to as “flicker”, Circadian and Neuro-Behavioural Effects, and Photobiological Safety and Glare. 655 people registered for the webinars and over 300 people attended live. The report is primarily intended for policymakers, offering guidance on lighting and health.

Temporal Light Modulation (TLM) Interlaboratory Comparison (IC 2023): Commonly known as “flicker”, government policies are setting limits on TLM. IC 2023 is to help support laboratories getting accredited for the TLM metrics. It was found that approximately two-thirds of the participants in IC 2023 did not meet acceptable measurement accuracy, and many labs had problems with “noisy” power supplies in the laboratory affecting the measurements. Research findings were shared with the IEC, IES and CIE. Individual lab test reports were issued that can be used for labs applying for accreditation. The final report is under development.

Continued interaction with global standardisation bodies and industry, and participation in events. Platform representatives have presented scientific papers and presentations in five different events globally, promoting our outputs within industry and standardisation communities. The interaction with standardisation bodies is crucial since it helps make sure standards are useful and relevant for the policy making and regulatory bodies around the world.

EDNA provides policy guidance aimed at improving the energy efficiency of smart, demand flexible, connected appliances and their associated systems.

During the 4th 4E TCP term (2024 to 2029) EDNA will further increase its focus on ‘demand flexible’ appliances. These devices, empowering consumers, are able to react to requirements from the grid, for example to increase or decrease power consumption in response to energy generation patterns, or to react to local demand constraints. Having such appliances installed is crucial to a net zero energy grid – their potential to reduce the requirement for expensive energy storage is substantial. Accelerating the uptake of demand flexible appliances will speed up, and should lower the cost of, the clean energy transition.

In 2024, EDNA changed its name to Efficient, Demand Flexible Networked Appliances. The objective of the platform is to provide analysis and policy guidance to members and other governments aimed at improving the energy efficiency and demand flexibility of connected appliances and networks.

EDNA’s entry point to this topic remains at the appliance level. EDNA will also continue its intensive work on the energy efficiency of data centres, and as required by governments may choose to undertake further work on the efficiency of connected appliances themselves (for example, home energy storage systems).

Accelerating the uptake of demand flexible appliances will speed up, and should lower the cost, of the clean energy transition.

Major Achievements During 2024

In 2024 EDNA published several policy briefs which synthesise its work to date in the area of demand flexible appliances. These covered topics, such as energy management protocols and interoperability, are critically important for operating appliances within a demand flexible system, and provide guidance for retrofitting of ‘dumb’ appliances so they may participate in these systems.

These covered topics, such as energy management protocols and interoperability, are critically important for operating appliances within a demand flexible system, and provide guidance for retrofitting of ‘dumb’ appliances so they may participate in these systems.

In 2024 EDNA launched two new major workstreams: on demand flexible networked appliances, and on the energy efficiency of data centres. Within each of these, a number of tasks commenced, and the first report from the demand flexible appliances workstream was published – a detailed report providing guidance on improving cybersecurity for demand flexible appliances, which is also a critical necessity for all equipment connected as part of a smart energy system.

The new workstream on the energy efficiency of data centres yielded two reports in 2024. Both of these relate to transparency of the energy used within data centres. The first was a collation and synthesis of the current schemes for publishing data centre energy use, and the second built on this work to begin to examine energy labelling for data centres.

In addition to these early publications, numerous other tasks were launched within EDNA’s two major workstreams. These will yield publications in 2025, covering topics including appliance capabilities, home energy management systems, flexibility platforms, data centre energy modelling and the energy efficiency of servers.

The PECTA platform is exploring the energy saving potential offered by new semiconductor materials in power electronic applications, focusing on wide bandgap semiconductors like silicon carbide and gallium nitride.

These WBG semiconductors come with superior material characteristics when compared to traditional silicon-based components, potentially resulting in energy savings across various power electronics applications (e.g., cell phone/laptop chargers, PV inverters, DC-wall boxes).

By analysing performance gains in these different applications, PECTA supports policy makers to focus on those applications that show the most promising results not only in terms of energy efficiency but also considering the whole life cycle.

PECTA also identifies barriers to adoption and works to address different critical aspects via research and industry collaboration. Furthermore, PECTA supports standardisation efforts to ensure that energy savings achieved through wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors are maximised across different sectors. PECTA stands out with its strong collaboration between industry (industry advisory group), academia (academic advisory group) and policy makers. Unlike standalone research projects, PECTA’s network fosters direct engagement between scientists, manufacturers, and regulators. Its emphasis on life-cycle assessments distinguishes it from purely performance-driven initiatives, ensuring a broader perspective on sustainability. Additionally, PECTA collaborates with international organisations to harmonise approaches. In addition, the topics conducted by PECTA actively contribute to the global initiative to reduce GHG emissions, and support the clean energy transition.

Major Achievements During 2024

Successful completion of PECTA’s 1st term: The successful completion of PECTA’s first term demonstrated its achievements in building a strong network and delivering impactful results. Through effective dissemination efforts, PECTA actively contributed to advancing 4E’s goals by sharing key insights and promoting energy-efficient technologies. The approval of PECTA’s 2nd term reflects the strong confidence and continued support from the 4E ExCo. It demonstrates trust and confidence in the platform’s future impact on further promoting energy efficient technology.

European Commission: The involvement of the European Commission’s strengthens policy support and ensures that research findings can translate into effective regulations, accelerating the adoption of energy-efficient technologies. This alignment with policymakers helps to increase energy savings through policies and incentives. It directly supports 4E’s mission by embedding PECTA’s work into broader energy efficiency initiatives at a European level.

PECTA presentations at ECPE events: By sharing insights with industry and academia, PECTA fosters greater awareness and adoption of energy-efficient power electronics. These engagements encourage collaboration. This outreach helps 4E and PECTA drive industry-wide improvements by ensuring key stakeholders are informed and engaged.

PECTA publications: The published reports provide not only summaries of the different outcomes but also detailed insights in the 1st term 2nd phase tasks (A-G) and its results. The topics were ranging (amongst others) from investigating different ways on how to improve energy efficiency for different power electronic applications via adopting WBG, validating new measurement techniques, LCA considerations and the impact and timing of policy measures. They directly contribute to 4E’s goal of knowledge dissemination.

4E Outreach and Communication

4E uses a wide range of channels to reach its target audience, including technical reports, webinars, workshops, 2-page policy briefs, and newsletters.

4E Group Finances

In 2024, the total cost of 4E activities is estimated to be approximately €2 million.

4E activities are made possible through the contributions of member countries: taking the form of annual fees and substantial in-kind work by national experts. In 2024, the annual fees was matched by a similar amount as in-kind activity.

The large majority of funding is directed towards 4E research activities. Approximately 23% of funds were used for communication, while only 6% were spent on administration and financial management, the same as in the previous year.

4E membership fees, 2024

ExCo and Platform membership fees are set according to the agreed annual work programme and therefore may vary from year to year. However, the membership fees have not altered since 2016 and are considered by existing Members to represent excellent value for money.

About the
International Energy Agency (IEA)

The IEA is at the heart of global dialogue on energy, providing authoritative analysis, data, policy recommendations, and real-world solutions to help countries provide secure and sustainable energy for all. The IEA was created in 1974 to help co-ordinate a collective response to major disruptions in the supply of oil. While oil security remains a key aspect of their work, the IEA has evolved and expanded significantly since its foundation. Taking an all-fuels, all-technology approach, the IEA advocates policies that enhance the reliability, affordability and sustainability of energy. It examines the full spectrum of issues including renewables, oil, gas and coal supply and demand, energy efficiency, clean energy technologies, electricity systems and markets, access to energy, demand-side management, and much more. Since 2015, the IEA has opened its doors to major emerging countries to expand its global impact, and deepen cooperation in energy security, data and statistics, energy policy analysis, energy efficiency, and the growing use of clean energy technologies. 

IEA Technology Collaboration Programmes

The Technology Collaboration Programme supports the work of independent, international groups of experts that enable governments and industries from around the world to lead programmes and projects on a wide range of energy technologies and related issues. The experts in these collaborations work to advance the research, development and commercialisation of energy technologies. The scope and strategy of each collaboration is in keeping with the IEA Shared Goals of energy security, environmental protection and economic growth, as well as engagement worldwide. The breadth of the analytical expertise in the Technology Collaboration Programme is a unique asset to the global transition to a cleaner energy future. These collaborations involve over 6,000 experts worldwide who represent nearly 300 public and private organisations located in 55 countries, including many from IEA Association countries such as China, India and Brazil.
