Abstract
The Developing communities in their path for rapid development is endeavoring to make all necessary and appropriate measures to enhance the efficiency of energy utilization and increase the beneficiation of the energy resources. The energy production, transmission, distribution and utilization efficiency becomes a vital factor and measure of national development. Governmental organizations were established earlier to be responsible for energy planning and efficient utilization, information dissemination and capacity building as well as devising the necessary codes and standards. Throughout the Nation Energy resources are widely used and consumption rates are in general exceeding the International accepted values. Energy rationalization and audit exercises were developed and monitored by Governmental authorities, Universities and Research centers through the past two decades with a definitive positive energy reduction and beneficiation. The development of the relevant codes for Residential and Commercial Energy Efficiency in Building is underway through the governmental bodies responsible for the research, training and development in the building Technology sector and is the umbrella under which the National and Unified Arab Codes are developed and issued.
Highlights
As the world becomes increasingly dependent on electrical appliances and equipment, energy consumption rapidly rises every year
One of the most costeffective and proven methods for increasing energy efficiency of electrical appliances and equipment is to establish energy efficiency standards and labels .Energy efficiency standards are a set of procedures and regulations that prescribe the energy performance of manufactured products, sometimes prohibiting the sale of products less energy-efficient than the minimum standard
The effectiveness of energy labels is highly dependent on how information is presented to the consumer
Summary
As the world becomes increasingly dependent on electrical appliances and equipment, energy consumption rapidly rises every year. Many programs have been established in various countries to increase end-use equipment energy efficiency. One of the most costeffective and proven methods for increasing energy efficiency of electrical appliances and equipment is to establish energy efficiency standards and labels .Energy efficiency standards are a set of procedures and regulations that prescribe the energy performance of manufactured products, sometimes prohibiting the sale of products less energy-efficient than the minimum standard. A target limit on energy performance (usually a maximum use or minimum efficiency) formally established by a government-based agency upon a specified test standard. Energy labels serve as a complement to energy standards They provide consumers information that allows those who care to select more efficient models. Labels allow utility companies and government energy conservation agencies to offer incentive s to consumers to buy the most energy-efficient products. The effectiveness of energy labels is highly dependent on how information is presented to the consumer
