CLASP: Global Expertise on
Energy Efficiency Standards & Labeling
The Collaborative Labeling and Appliance Standards Program’s (CLASP)
primary objective is to identify and respond to the assistance needs of S&L
practitioners around the world while making the highest quality technical
information on S&L best practice available globally.
• Established in 1999 by the Alliance to Save Energy, International Institute
for Energy Conservation, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
• Became a ClimateWorks Foundation Best Practice Network (BPN) in
March of 2009.
• Formerly a small, distributed network of international experts, CLASP has
expanded and matured with over 23 full time team members in 4 offices
(Beijing, Brussels, DC, and Delhi
.
Current & Former Country Scope
CLASP has provided S&L technical assistance in over 50 countries
on 6 continents, including Australia, Brazil, Egypt, Fiji, Ghana, Korea,
Poland, South Africa, Thailand, Tunisia, Uruguay, and Vietnam.
Under support from the ClimateWorks Foundation, CLASP currently
provides technical support in:
• China
• European Union
• India
• Mexico
• United States
• Global Research Projects
CLASP works in additional countries and regions pending funding
and opportunity, and taking into account the global potential and
country priorities.
CLASP Core Services
For maximum impacts, CLASP:
• Provides technical assistance and expertise to national governments and
other stakeholders including:
• Product Specific Technical Analysis
• Market Impacts Studies
• Label design research
• S&L Impacts Assessment
• Product Prioritization Studies
• Program Evaluation
• Assembles and oversees project teams from diverse and highly-qualified
organizations
• Disseminates best practice information and training
• Guidebooks on Best Practice S&L and Compliance
• Studies on Harmonization and Product Benchmarking
• Regulatory Agenda Tracking
CLASP’s Funders
Market Transformation
Standards and labs work together to push and pull the market toward greater
energy efficiency.
Standards and Labeling Programs
Impact the Environment
Reducing the energy
consumption of a product
On aggregate, reduces
overall energy consumption
Which, reduces power
demand
Which, reduces the need
for the production of
electricity
Therefore, reducing
And, increasing the
green house gas
feasibility of renewable
emissions and other
pollutants
Reasons for Implementing Standards
and Labeling Programs
Countries adopt standards and labeling policy for a number or reasons
1. Reduce capital investment in the
energy supply infrastructure
a) Less expensive then energy production
b) Makes renewable energy more affordable by
reducing the need for energy production
2. Avert urban/regional pollution
3. Promote competitiveness of
domestic manufacturers by
avoiding non-tariff trade barriers
4. Secure energy independence
5. Meet climate change goals
