Energy: Lessons Learned in Asia: Regional Symposium on Energy Efficiency Standards and Labelling
29-31 May 2001
Bangkok, Thailand
The Regional Symposium on Energy Efficiency Standards and Labelling:
Lessons Learned in Asia was co-organized by the Secretariats of United Nations
DESA and United Nations ESCAP in cooperation with the Collaborative Labeling
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).
