Session 01: ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Energy efficiency provides more than 50% of world fuel supply with net negative costs. Energy efficiency has long been recognized as the "low-hanging fruit" in delivering a clean energy economy. Low or negative cost in energy savings can be achieved by filling gaps in energy efficiency investments. An energy efficiency gap refers to the difference between levels of investment in energy efficiency that appear to be cost effective based on engineering-economic analysis and the lower levels actually occurring. The low market adoption of energy-efficient technologies coupled with the unrealized potential implies that significant amounts of energy could be saved through investments in energy efficiency.
For many years, energy efficiency was not treated as the cheapest fuel in the energy sector. Today, this situation is changing. This cheapest or net-negative cost fuel will never run out due to the following three factors: (1) limited and increasingly expensive fossil fuels, (2) government new policies on energy and climate change, which always encourage to invest in cleaner energy, and (3) in-coming new energy efficient technologies, products and equipment, and financial mechanisms. As such, the actual potential of energy efficiency as a fuel will be, year by year, more and more in quantity, and cheaper and cheaper in costs.
In this session, the following issues will be addressed:
Energy efficiency gaps in the market;
Major barriers that caused the gaps;
Measures to unlock these barriers, including government policies, technology advancement and transfer, new financial mechanisms, strategies to engage private investments, capacity building for energy service companies, individual homeowners, and other stakeholders;
Feasibility studies, design, finance, implementation, and evaluation for energy efficiency projects; and
Case studies based on real on energy efficiency investments in industrial motors, household lighting and appliances, air conditioning for commercial buildings, and fuel-economy for vehicles.
Technologies for
achieving energy efficiency.
The ultimate goal of this session is to provide attendees with knowledge and skills in energy efficiency investments, and ultimately help cut energy consumption bills for their countries, institutions, and homes by 50% with the use of the cheapest or net-negative cost fuel: Energy Efficiency.
