“…The data show that the residential electricity consumption growth rate has gradually slowed down since 2007, the reason for which is worth exploring. Through a literature review, we can conclude that there are many factors influencing residential electricity consumption, and among these, ownership of household appliances is one of the most important factors (Kondou et al, 2011). However, with the continuous growth in the ownership of household appliances, the growth rate of residential electricity consumption has slowed down since 2007, which can be preliminarily explained by the improvement in energy efficiency.…”

As a part of China’s energy conservation and emission reduction policy system, the China Energy Label plays an important role in promoting energy-efficient technology progress and product sales. In this article, we comprehensively review China’s energy labeling policy portfolio, consisting of the Energy-Efficiency Label Management Approach, the financial subsidy, and “top runner” programs. To evaluate the effectiveness of the energy labeling policy portfolio, we further analyze the influence of the energy labeling policy portfolio on the electricity consumption of household appliances. According to our results, the China Energy Label played an active role in slowing the growth rate of residential electricity consumption during 2007–2010, but its effectiveness was not satisfactory in the period 2011–2012. The reasons and countermeasures are discussed herein to address this problem. Moreover, to further enhance the effectiveness of the China Energy Label, policy implications are proposed for long-term successful implementation.

“…The associated greenhouse gases emissions resulting from activities within the residential sector are predicted to rise by 59% for the same period [6]. Improving the end-use energy efficiency is one of the most effective ways to reduce energy consumption in the residential sector [7]. A quick win approach is the enforcement of Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) on the residential appliances.…”

“…In total, Fridley et al [19] concluded that the standards and labeling programs currently in place in China are expected to save a cumulative of 1143 TWh by 2020, or 9 percent of the cumulative consumption of residential electricity to that year. Kondou et al [7] reported that the estimated average annual electricity consumption of refrigerators per urban household in guangzhou china was put as 420.9 kWh/household. This will be reduced to 366.2 kWh with improved cooling capacity if an old refrigerator is replaced by a more efficient one [7].…”

The main purpose of this article is to present the results of an investigation on the economic and environmental impacts of applying Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) to the residential refrigerators in Saudi Arabia. The results are based on literature and market surveys conducted for this purpose. The energy consumption of different types of refrigerators in common use in Saudi Arabia were calculated and compared with those pertinent to the most energy efficient refrigerators that comply with the MEPS proposed by the Saudi Standards Organization (SASO) as well as that comply with Energy Star Standards. The possible energy savings over the next 20 years are estimated to range between 36.6 and 70.74 TWh depending on the scenario adopted to implement and enforce a MEPS program in Saudi Arabia. The associated possible reduction in carbon dioxide emission ranged between 22.24 and 42.97 million tonnes and results from avoiding burning an equivalent amount of crude oil that would have been burned to produce the saved energy. The amount of saved oil ranged between 61 and 117.92 million barrels of oil which worth an amount ranges between $ 6.77 and $ 13.09 billion.
