CLASP provides assistance to S&L practitioners around the world.
CLASP responds to the needs of policy makers and technical experts in targeted countries and regions, providing technical assistance, training, and capacity building on all aspects of energy efficiency S&L, and capitalizing on opportunities to collaborate and disseminate research and best practice information.
Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) – also called Minimum Energy Performance Requirements – are one of the main ways that energy efficiency standards for appliances and equipment "push" the market towards greater energy efficiency.
Energy-efficiency labeling programs aim to shift markets for energy-using products and appliances toward the global goal of improved energy efficiency.
Reliable energy test procedures and test facilities are the foundation of successful standards-setting and labeling initiatives.
Impacts modeling helps policy makers determine what products to regulate or label within energy efficiency S&L programs, while impacts assessments evaluate the effectiveness of established S&L policies.
Global collaboration and research in the energy efficiency field is the foundation for achieving CLASP's goal of increased global energy efficiency for appliances, lighting, and equipment and sustainable production and consumption.
Global S&L information and knowledge sharing helps countries improve their energy efficiency knowledge base and expertise; sparks collaborations; educates policy makers; encourages technology transfer; and promotes the shared goal of increased global energy efficiency for appliances, lighting, and equipment and sustainable production and consumption.
