The International Partnership for Energy Efficiency Cooperation (IPEEC) is a high-level international forum that provides global leadership on energy efficiency by identifying and facilitating government implementation of policies and programs that yield high energy-efficiency gains. IPEEC also aims to promote information exchange on best practices and facilitate initiatives to improve energy efficiency. Founded in May 2009, IPEEC is a voluntary, high-level forum of developed and emerging economies that represent a significant fraction of the global economy.
IPEEC’s Buildings Energy Efficiency Taskgroup (BEET) was established in 2013 to increase multilateral cooperation in the field of buildings energy efficiency, specifically in relation to:
- The development and implementation of national building energy efficiency rating systems; and,
- Enhance the development of instruments that enable effective implementation of energy efficiency policy measures
The first event of the BEET was held in Paris on 29 May 2013. The following items from that workshop are available:
- Workshop agenda (with links to presentations made at the workshop)
- A pre-workshop briefing document that explained the purpose of the workshop and the goal for the BEET’s initial project
- A workshop report, summarizing the discussion at the workshop and the key findings from the day’s discussion
A follow-on workshop, hosted by the Center of Science & Technology, part of China's Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (MOHURD), was held in Beijing on 28 October 2013. All of the presentations from that workshop can be found here.
