Background

• For effective public policy and private sector
  actions to promote energy efficiency, it is
  essential to establish internationally recognized
  energy efficiency test procedures and
  methodologies to define and measure energy
  efficiency.
• While much energy efficiency standardization work
  has already been done, a great deal still remains
  to do.
• This workshop brings together leading
  policymakers, standardization professionals and
  key private sector actors to discuss how to
  accelerate progress in energy efficiency
  standardization.

Goals and outcomes

• This workshop explores the key technical, policy
  and administrative themes pertaining to energy
  efficiency standardization in all energy usage
  sectors including transport sector.
• This workshop also aims to animate discussion and
  draw conclusions that can be fed into relevant
  high-level international processes including
• 2009 G8 Summit in Italy
• UNFCCC's COP-15 meeting in Copenhagen
• International Partnership for Energy Efficiency
  Cooperation (IPEEC)

Request to WP.29

• WP.29 has been playing the most important role in
  making test procedures and regulations for road
  transport sector.
• Therefore the IEA would like to invite a WP.29
  representative to give a presentation in the
  session of "ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF TRANSPORTATION".
