AB <p>Many economies in Asia and the Pacific have shown remarkable growth rates over the past decades, resulting in similar high energy consumption growth rates. These trends are expected to continue in the near future. To match demand, supply capacity would have to be expanded at enormous investment cost. This could be reduced if energy were used more efficiently. This report gives an overview oftechnical options for improving energy end-use efficiency in the productive, residential and commercial sectors.

<p>Various barriers, of a technical, financial, economic and institutional nature, have so far inhibited the application of energy-efficient appliances, equipment and processes in many countries ofthe ESCAP region. Governments can play an important role in promoting energy-efficient practices. A review of the current policy activities of selected countries is given. ESCAP, as the regional arm of the United Nations, seeks to assist both government and private sector entities in their energy efficiency promotion efforts.
