ANSI examining the need for Energy Efficiency Standards

Standards panel would support clean energy economy

March 27, 2012 - The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is examining the need for an Energy Efficiency Standards Panel (EESP) for energy-efficiency initiatives in the United States. The goal of the panel would be to develop a standardization roadmap that would define a coordinated U.S. approach to energy efficiency standardization activities and help foster innovation and advance the market for energy-efficiency technologies.

In a meeting to be held in D.C. on April 25, ANSI and other stakeholders will define the scope and areas of focus for a potential standards panel based on the standards, codes, and conformance programs needed to advance the nation's energy-efficiency agenda. read more>>>
