EE priorities:
We need to switch the compensation for easements from free electricity to some other form, such as a direct payment, to remove the disincentive to conserve power and to encourage energy efficiency.
EE standards for appliances:
There are many possible measures for energy efficiency and conservation – only some of these require consideration as policies:
[...]
Mandate the purchase of Energy Star (or similar energy rated labelling) appliances for all government agencies (‘soft’ internal government policy).
[...]
Prescribe air conditioning temperature set points for government agencies (‘soft’ internal government policy).
EE lighting and mechanical system standards:
There are many possible measures for energy efficiency and conservation – only some of these require consideration as policies:
[...]
A ban on incandescent lightbulbs.
EE labeling:
There are many possible measures for energy efficiency and conservation – only some of these require consideration as policies:
[...]
Minimum energy performance standard (MEPS) and appliance labelling scheme.
EE building standards:
There are many possible measures for energy efficiency and conservation – only some of these require consideration as policies:
Ensure building code focus on energy efficiency. [...]
