2008 Vietnam Energy Efficiency Conference
TOPICS
Standards, Energy
and the Environment: Green for Good
Michael Violette,
Director, American Council of Independent Laboratories
International cooperation is critical for sustainability.
Cooperation between Regulators, Industry and Consumers is necessary
and the only certain path for success. In the same way, multiple
technologies are needed to produce an overall solution to the
problem. This presentation will provide an overview of the US-based
efforts for energy conservation and the technologies that are being
developed to develop sustainable energy and reduce the impact of
energy production on the environment.
Trends in
International Standards Agreements for Energy
Desmond
Fraser, President, Rheintech Laboratories
Mutual Recognition Agreements represent the highest form of
cooperation between government standards bodies. MRAs have been
developed between the United States and Vietnam and are on the way
to being implemented in the Telecom sector. Further activity in
standards agreements, leading to meaningful and beneficial
arrangements, are a key to supporting the development of trade and
investment between international economies. This presentation will
provide key information and a background on the development of these
international agreements as well as potential future areas for
agreements and cooperation between the US and Vietnam.
Designing Energy
Efficient Buildings
Chandler von Schrader, National
Manager of Home Performance, Environmental Protection Agency
The "EE" in "GREEN" is Energy Efficiency! A building cannot be
considered "green" without fully addressing the energy efficiency
best practices. Building regulations and the marketplace are forcing
architects and engineers to design “green” buildings that deliver on
the energy efficiency promise. The presentation will discuss first
step strategies of moving toward green and how ENERGY STAR is
leading the way in the United States. Additionally, this
presentation will describe EPA’s residential efforts at promoting
energy efficiency best practices to utilities, HVAC and remodeling
industries. An overview of the Home Performance with Energy Star (HPwES)
program will be provided. .
An Overview of
Safety Standards for the US Solar Photovoltaic Industry
Janardhanan Chandrasekar (JC Sekar), General Manager for ASEAN,
Underwriters Laboratories
The growth in solar PhotoVoltaics (PV) is nearly 50% in the last
five years. This is an important area in the area of standards
development. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) has played a pioneering
role in developing standards for the Solar Photovoltaic industry. As
a leading testing and certification organization with cutting edge
testing facilities, UL will provide an overview of the key standards
that manufacturers and suppliers in the fast growing Solar PV
industry should be familiar with today.
Electrical
Equipment Design for Energy Efficiency
Steven Koster,
EMC Operations Manager, Washington Laboratories
Energy efficiency in electrical equipment is critical for a
sustainable and clean environment. Proper design of electrical
equipment can reduce energy usage by 30%. This can be achieved by
proper selection of power supply components, system design and
construction. This presentation will provide technical issues facing
an electrical equipment manufacturers and fundamentals of energy
saving design. The EPA’s Energy Star program, developed to reduce
electrical energy consumption for over 20,000 products, is a key
element of the standards to reduce energy consumption.
