IEA Energy Efficient End-use Equipment (4E)

4E TCP promotes energy efficient end use equipment. It focuses on electric motor systems, electric household products, lighting, electronic devices and networks as well as power electronic conversion.

Short Description

In 2008 the Technology Programme for a Co-operative Programme on Energy Efficient End-Use Equipment (4E) was established to support government efforts in designing and implementing policies for efficient end-use equipment. The member governments collaborate and coordinate activities to strengthen energy efficiency programs, by setting policies that reflect changes in technology and market conditions, expanding the scope of policies, and improving implementation and compliance through learning from the experience of others.

The objectives of 4E are:

  • Identifying and promoting policy approaches at the international level, based on results of the 4E Annexes and projects.

  • Disseminating research results, methods, and best practices.

  • Exchanging experiences and coordinating harmonized international policy approaches for end-use devices.

The structure of 4E is shown below:

Austria is a member of 4E since 2009. Austria currently participates in EMSA, EDNA and PECTA. This work involves regular decisions-making and technical contribution to the projects and ongoing activities of the Annexes and of 4E.

The 4E Technology Collaboration Programme has an approved strategic plan for its third phase, from 2019 to 2024, with an expanded view to various energy sources, as well as single products as part of larger systems and networks.

Annual Reports

IEA 4E Product Energy Efficiency Trends (PEET) Project

The Product Energy Efficiency Trends (PEET) project aims to monitor the energy efficiency of selected product groups in the 4E member countries and regions, to provide information on progress from year to year. The latest PEET reports published in 2022 summarize the state of energy efficiency regulations for four product groups. These are: electric motors, room air conditioners, televisions and monitors, and household refrigerators
