Comisión Nacional para el Ahorro de Energía Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in Commercial Buildings Mexico’s Experience Myrna Varela Salazar Investment and Environment Director 28th New and Renewable Energy Technologies Expert Group Meeting January 29th-30th, 2007

Mexico’s Energy Sector FIDE -Trust for Electric Energy Saving Transversal work throughout all energy sector Private (consumers, associations) and social sectors (consumers, ONGs, associations

CONAE: Energy Efficiency Policy Mexico’s potential ~20% Total energy use increase Increase of net benefits for unit of enery used Total energy use decrease A DC B 10% potential achieved, 2% of Mexico’s energy consumption Energy intensity decreasing

CONAE’s STRATEGY STANDAR IZATION ASSIST ANCE PROGRAM DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION PROM OTION Conserving energy resources Diversifying energy matrix Protecting the environment Benefiting household income Efficient use of renewable and non- renewable energies Incresing private sector competitiveness Local and Federal Govn’t CONAE Social Sector Banking system Educative institutions State Companies WORKING GROUPS Industry and Commercial Associations Consulting groups Professio nal Associati ons Private Sector Med ia
