Design of Standards and Labeling Programs In Chile: Techno-economic Analysis for Refrigerators.

摘要

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is a global leader in the study of energy efficiency and its effective implementation through government policy. The Energy Analysis and Environmental Impacts Department of LBNL’s Environmental Energy Technologies Division provides technical assistance to help federal, state and local government agencies in the United States, and throughout the world, develop long-term strategies, policy, and programs to encourage energy efficiency in all sectors and industries. In the past, LBNL has assisted staff of various countries government agencies and their contractors in providing methodologies to analyze cost-effectiveness of regulations and assess overall national impacts of efficiency programs. The paper presents the work done in collaboration with the Ministry of Energy (MoE) in Chile and the Collaborative Labeling Appliance Standards Programs (CLASP) on designing a Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MBPS) and extending the current labeling program for refrigerators. LBNL used the Policy Analysis Modeling System (PAMS) to conduct the analysis. PAMS is a spreadsheet model that provides policymakers with a robust and transparent cost-benefit analysis of future energy efficiency programs1. It contains a built-in database of energy parameters for more than 160 countries and built-in engineering analysis for three appliances. PAMS can be used with little or no data, and can be customized to model a wide range of equipment and appliances.
