Improving the Energy Efficiency of Lighting and Building Appliances
Type of Project:
FSP
Country:
Egypt
Year:
2010-09-01 Summary:
The objective of this project is to improve energy efficiency of equipments manufactured and marketed in Egypt, especially lighting systems and building appliances. The project will develop standards and regulations (including phasing-out of inefficient lighting), implement and enforce these regulations (testing facilities and enforcement mechanisms) and develop the market (awareness campaigns, marketing of the EE products through retail stores, financing mechanisms).
The project will consist in 3 main components:
- phasing out inefficient lighting : the project will address CFL, LED and HID (street lighting) in the residential, commercial and public sector. Energy performance standards will be adopted and enforced. Financing mechanisms will be put in place to disseminate the EE products (especially payment through electricity bills). Regarding public buildings and street lighting, the project will include training and demonstrations.
- standards and labels for building appliances (10 kind of appliances are targeted). The project will develop standards and labels schemes and enforcement mechanisms (compliance checking and testing facilities). The market will be developed through awareness campaigns and training of the vendors.
- monitoring and evaluation
The project is expected to result in :
- direct GHG reductions of 0.95MtCO2
- indirect GHG reductions over 100MtCO2 over the next 20 years compared to the baseline. The huge expected growth of the appliance market in Egypt explains this high figure.
Considering only the direct emissions reductions, the cost-efficiency of the project is expected to be 4.7 $/tCO2.
