EEDAL2017

9th International Conference On Energy Efficiency In Domestic Appliances and Lighting

  • Events 13.09. - 15.09.2017

Energy efficiency improvements in residential appliances, heating and cooling equipment, information and communication equipment (ICT equipment) and lighting can play a key role in achieving a sustainable energy future and socio-economic development, and at the same time mitigate climate change. Energy efficiency measures related to residential appliances, heating equipment and lighting are in most cases highly cost-effective CO2 emission reduction actions, and offer good opportunity to increase the security and reliability of energy supply.

In developing countries efficient residential appliances and lighting are vital to reduce household energy costs, to improve living conditions while reducing local pollution. In addition to technical progress on efficiency, large energy savings and carbon reduction can only be achieved with a paradigmatic change in consumer behaviour in the context of usage patterns of energy using products. These changes must be aided by "smart" product design providing automatic optimisation of energy and water resource usage for a given task and providing readily accessible feedback to the consumer to catalyse optimum usage patterns.

Project Co-ordinator Thomas Götz and Research Fellow Lena Tholen of the Research Group Energy, Transport and Climate Policy of the Wuppertal Institute are speakers at the event. One of the lecture titled: "It's Nothing to Write About? How EU-Member States Address Appliances in their National Energy Efficiency Action Plans".
