Abstract

In association with energy labelling, minimum efficiency standards have proved to be very effective in stimulating energy efficiency. But standards also suffer from long and often difficult implementation periods because of the resistance of the industrial sector. This paper compares efficiency standards and energy labelling with voluntary agreements in the domestic appliances sector. We conclude that VAs may be an effective instrument for market transformation in certain conditions: the most important is that alternative of regulatory measures must remain a credible, realistic threat if Vas are to have a really significant impact on performance improvement.
