Following the success of the previous EEDAL conferences, the Danish Energy Association and the European Commission Joint Research Centre, in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme, the International Energy Agency, and the Collaborative Labeling and Appliance Standards Program (CLASP) are pleased to announce the 6th International Conference on Energy Efficiency in Domestic Appliances and Lighting – EEDAL’11. 

EEDAL'11 will provide a unique forum to discuss and debate the latest developments in energy and environmental impact of residential appliances and lighting, heating and cooling equipment, ITC equipment, smart meters and smart grids, the policies and programmes adopted and planned, as well as the technical and commercial advances in the dissemination and penetration of energy efficient residential appliances, consumer electronics and ICT, heating and cooling equipment and lighting.

The three-day conference will include plenary sessions where key representatives of governments and international organisations, manufacturers and academia will present their views and programmes to advance energy efficiency in residential appliances and lighting, for example, through international co-operation on product information and eco-design requirements. Parallel sessions on specific themes and topics will allow in-depth discussions among participants. The conference will also host ad-hoc workshops to review and advance international collaboration and will provide opportunities to promote new initiatives and partnerships.
