Energy Efficiency Labels and Standards: International - The Collaborative Labeling and Appliance Standards Program (CLASP), a collaboration among LBNL, the Alliance to Save Energy, and the International Institute for Energy Conservation (IIEC), promotes the appropriate use of energy efficiency labels and standards for appliances, equipment, and lighting in developing and transitional countries.

Energy Efficiency Standards: US - research into the energy and economic impacts of energy-efficiency performance standards on a wide range of energy-consuming products, including home appliances and equipment, commercial space conditioning and water heating equipment, plumbing products, distribution transformers, electric motors, and commercial and residential lighting products.

Energy End-Use Forecasting - research to deliver to policy makers the latest information on current and expected future characteristics of markets for efficient products in the building sector.

Government Voluntary Programs - research on the effectiveness of programs such as government procurement, product labeling, and voluntary public/private partnerships in improving energy efficiency, preventing pollution, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Industrial Partnerships - research into the potential for energy savings from voluntary government programs, such as Motor Challenge, in the industrial sector.

Risk Management and Non-Energy Benefits - research and deployment focused on the intersection of energy-efficient and renewable energy technologies with non-energy issues such as insurance, risk management, and disaster preparedness/recovery.

Urban Heat Island Mitigation - research on solutions to smog and energy waste caused by human-induced warming occurring in urban areas, with special emphasis on the development of more reflective surfaces for roadways and building surfaces.
