The Rationale for Energy Efficiency Standards
and Labels

What is S&L?What is S&L?
• Energy Efficiency Standards: are regulations that prescribe the energy
performance of manufactured products, often prohibiting the sale of products less energy-efficient than the minimum standard.
• Energy Efficiency Labels: are informative labels affixed to
manufactured products that indicate a product’s energy performance and provide purchasers with the information necessary to make an informed purchase-decision.
S&L = Energy Efficiency Standards and Labels

The Rationale for Promoting S<he Rationale for Promoting S&L
• An effective energy efficiency policy must:1) Focus on a predominance of energy use
2) Have high, cost-effective impact
3) Sustainably transform markets
• S&L is the most effective energy efficiency policy
