A “life cycle thinking” approach to assess differences in the energy use of SiC vs. Si power semiconductors
Wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors have the potential to provide significant improvements in energy efficiency over conventional Silicon (Si) semiconductors. While the potential for energy efficiency gains is
Interlaboratory Comparison for Goniophotometers (IC 2017)
The final report from the IEA 4E Solid State Lighting Annex’s 2017 Interlaboratory comparison (IC 2017). This comparison had 36 participating laboratories from 19 countries with a
Controls Validation Method for Variable Speed Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps
This controls validation method aims to provide a uniform method of test which will validate native control operation and performance criteria for residential air conditioners and heat pumps with variable speed compressors. This method is intended to be used as a confirmation against regulatory tests in which modulating component(s) are overridden.
Policy Brief – Digitalisation in electric motor driven systems
This Policy Brief summarises the key findings of a global survey on digitalisation in motor systems.
Are We Getting the Best Out of Smart Home Technologies? The Role of Usability
This joint report with the Users TCP investigates ‘usability’ issues associated with energy smart digital devices.

Small Network Equipment: Considerations for Energy Efficiency Policy
This report provides an overview of small network equipment (e.g. routers and modems), investigates options for policies and estimates the potential for energy savings.
AC/HP Test Methods 2.0: Phase 2 Findings Summary
This research aims to develop an internationally applicable load-based test method for variable capacity ACs and HPs and has 4 Phases. This report discusses the findings of Phase 2 (Investigative Testing of Key Issues), as well as the research team’s recommendations for Phase 3 work.
Literature Summary of Lifetime Testing of Light Emitting Diodes and LED Products
A summary of the literature on lifetime definitions for LEDs and LED products, including a look at failure mechanisms, accelerated life tests and test methods for estimating lifetime, and provides some recommendations. There is currently no agreement as to which test method can best estimate the lifetime of LED lighting products and the report thus addresses a key issue for regulators and industry interested in deployment of LED technologies
