Cooperative Success StoriesIEA DSM Technology Procurement ProgramPaper
for the International Conference on Energy Efficiency in Distribution
and Usage of Electricity This document is available as
a PDF file. AbstractAnnex III “Cooperative Procurement” within the IEA DSM Implementing Agreement with 8 countries and the European Commission as participants has been going on during 1994 – 1999. A procedure for collaborative procurement actions for introduction of innovative, more energy-efficient products has been developed and tested in a number of pilot projects. A clothes dryer with the energy use cut by half (the first “Class A” dryer), electric motors with losses reduced with 20-40% and a “copier of the future” using only 25% of the energy consumed in normal solutions, are concrete results. After evaluation of proposals and prototypes, the suppliers have received the “IEA DSM Award of Excellence”. The award-winning dryer from AEG and an energy-efficient motor from ABB were included among the successes shown at the IEA 25th Anniversary and Ministerial Meeting in Paris in May 1999. Formulation of performance criteria and creation of mechanisms for recognition are two important elements in technology procurement efforts.
