Mr. Baillargeon, Xavier Lemaire
This is the 8th session of the Course on Regulation and Sustainable Energy in Developing Countries.
Register here for the whole Course. You are invited to register regardless the number of sessions you plan to join. You only need to do it once, it will be valid for all the sessions.
Session 8 deals with standards and labels for white appliances and air conditionners which have achieved tremendous energy savings in some developing countries.
How to define standards – how to test them - how to implement them - how to enforce them.
This session will rely on cases notably from Ghana, Tunisia and Egypt.
