Meeting Energy Efficiency Goals: Enhancing compliance, monitoring and evaluation

At a workshop held in Paris during February 2008, more than 140 public and private sector stakeholders representing 29 countries and numerous intergovernmental and other organizations examined the scope to maximize energy efficiency by improving the effectiveness of existing policy measures. Sponsored by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the International Task Force for Sustainable Products (ITFSP), workshop participants discussed the potential for increasing energy and greenhouse savings through investment in the compliance, monitoring and evaluation of policies for appliances and buildings.
