Energy: Lessons Learned in Asia: Regional Symposium on Energy Efficiency Standards & Labelling

29-31 May 2001
Bangkok, Thailand

The Regional Symposium on Energy Efficiency Standards and Labeling: Lessons Learned in Asia was co-organized by the Secretariats of United Nations DESA and United Nations ESCAP in cooperation with the Collaborative Labelling and Appliance Standards Program (CLASP). The meeting was held at the United Nations Conference Centre in Bangkok from 29 to 31 May 2001, and was attended by 125 participants from 25 countries. Those assembled included government planners, equipment manufacturers, consumer union representatives, and technical experts. As of 2000, there were 28 countries in the world having energy efficiency standards and labelling programmes, and half of those countries were in Asia. The primary objective of the workshop was to share information and experience gained by countries within the region on best practices, success stories and lessons learned in implementing energy efficiency standards and labeling programmes. Participants were also able to actively network with regional and international experts. Sponsors of the meeting included the United Nations Foundation, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the National Energy Policy Office (NEPO) of Thailand, and the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT).
