The Role of Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is the fastest, lowest risk, most economical way to address climate and security concerns
Energy efficiency means competitiveness for the U.S. economy
Market-ready today at attractive rates of return with enormous unexploited potential
Energy efficiency represents investments in energy not consumed, which mitigates risks associated with future price uncertainties.
Robust and evolving pipeline of efficiency technologiesMcKinsey Global Institute identified energy saving sufficient to cut consumption growth in half using only existing technologies that offer at least a 10% IRR (MGI, Curbing Global Energy Demand Growth, May 2007)

Appliance Standards, Advanced Lighting Advocacy, and ENERGY STAR
Modernizing ENERGY STAR
• Update and expand the ENERGY STAR program to add new advanced technologies to the ENERGY STAR portfolio.
Added or Updated since 2006: Clothes washer Advanced water heaters (5 categories)
Dishwashers Solid State Lighting (7 categories)
Refrigerators Expanded CFL categories• Develop deployment plans for marketing advanced technologies to consumers. • Talk to market stakeholders, gather information about market conditions, and develop strategies for building product availability and demand.

Energy Efficient Buildings
• Builders Challenge
Recognizing Leadership in Homebuilding
• Commercial Buildings Initiative
Public-private partnerships working to enable market-ready net-zero energy commercial buildings no later than 2025 in all climate zones
Commercial Building Energy Alliances EnergySmart Hospitals EnergySmart Schools
55% of U.S. Natural Gas55% of U.S. Natural Gas
72% of U.S. Electricity72% of U.S. Electricity
The combined residential and commercial buildings sector is the largest energy consumer in the U.S.

International Partnership for Energy Efficiency Cooperation (IPEEC)
In coordination with other leading countries, DOE is working to establish IPEEC - a high-level forum for discussion, consultation and information exchange.
IPEEC will advance global energy efficiency by facilitating actions that yield high energy efficiency gains
Countries will join on a voluntary basis and participate in specific annexes that reflect each country’s greatest interest
• Effective policies• Best practices• Building codes• Product standards
• Financial mechanisms• Public procurement• Civic infrastructure and fleets• Consumer/stakeholder education• Measurement/verification protocols
ScopeDevelop public-private partnerships
Facilitate international trade of efficient products
Support participating countries’ efficiency efforts & exchange information on:
