3. INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIE For effective public policy and private sector actions to promote energy efficiency, it is essential to establish internationally recognized energy efficiency test procedures and methodologies to define and measure energy efficiency. While much energy efficiency standardization work has already been done, a great deal still remains to do. This workshop brings together leading policymakers, standardization professionals and key private sector actors to discuss how to accelerate progress in energy efficiency standardization. Background

4. INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIE This workshop explores the key technical, policy and administrative themes pertaining to energy efficiency standardization in all energy usage sectors including transport sector. This workshop also aims to animate discussion and draw conclusions that can be fed into relevant high-level international processes including:  2009 G8 Summit in Italy  UNFCCC's COP-15 meeting in Copenhagen  International Partnership for Energy Efficiency Cooperation (IPEEC) Goals and outcomes
