7. New Projects – 5 CNs Transportation Building Cross-cutting issues
Sustainable Mobility: Routes for integrating the Energy and Transport Sectors for Urban Cities(US)
Building
APEC Zero Energy Building Initiative(China)
Cross-cutting issues
Exploring Co-Benefit Opportunities for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Projects in the APEC Region(Thailand)
Evaluation of Energy Technologies, Sustainable development goals and national climate actions(US)
Research on Forms of Low-carbon Energy System and Best Practices for APEC Sustainable Cities (China, Self-fund project)

8. New Projects APEC Zero Energy Building Initiative
A Zero energy initiative is a most effective way to call for more attention from all people care about energy and environment, hence to realize regional goals of carbon emission reductions in the building sector. Currently, APEC economics such as USA, Canada, Korea, and Japan had already published their mid-term and long term goal and roadmaps to achieve these goals. So, if an INITIATIVE could be launched, then it will benefit all APEC economies in a longer time in a sustainable way.

9. APEC Energy intensity goal
According to the analysis by APERC
Similarly to last time, recent trend looks good. After discussion during 52nd meeting,
We request APERC provide decomposition analysis of Energy Intensity for different sectors
It will be helpful for APEC economies to understand current situation and potential for different sectors
EGEEC will work with APERC to develop tailored recommendations on keeping on current target or improving target for whole APEC/specific sectors

10. APEC Energy Standard Information System (ESIS)
APEC ESIS provides:
APEC oriented online portal to the CLASP Standards & Labelling Database
Updates for APEC economies to the S&L Database
Attending EGEE&C meetings to report on status of ESIS and polices in APEC region
All funding exhausted in October 2017 and APEC- ESIS website is down. The update of S&L information of APEC economies is still available in the website of CLASP since it maintains a global database for S&L.
We requested CLASP to provide some inputs but didn’t receive any feedbacks.
Plan of added functions ESIS, except those functions of CLASP website; (in-depth analysis of S&L, compare research of S&L) for APEC
Budget for operating ESIS
Self-sustainable business model (On-line advertisement)

12. Coordination with IPEEC (1)
IPEEC summarized that Task Groups of G20 EELP have focused on the following item over the past four years:
Measuring and tackling the energy consumption of Heavy Duty Vehicles (HDV), as a critical element for sustainable economic growth in the global transport sector.
Dealing with the growing energy challenges posed by network-connected devices, as well as the opportunities for energy savings that such products offer.
Encouraging greater capital flows for energy efficiency investments in the G20 to unlock the large potential for efficiency improvements.
Working on effective energy efficiency policies in the buildings sector, with a focus on rating systems and codes to address the energy footprint of this area.
Encouraging greater energy efficiency uptake in industry by sharing tools and best practices on the use of Energy Management Systems (EnMS).
Supporting energy efficiency improvements in conventional electricity generation by encouraging the understanding and dissemination of High Efficiency Low Emissions (HELE) technologies.
Accelerating the deployment of highly efficient products that are driving global electricity demand.
Compiling energy efficiency best practices (BPs) and best available technologies (BATs), for use by policy-makers and businesses, to help accelerate the widespread application of these, and further technological innovations.
Sharing technical information, enhancing communication and outreach on the issue of energy end-use data and energy efficiency metrics that are required for good policy development, implementation and evaluation.

13. Coordination with IPEEC (2)
Behavior change was proposed as a critical aspects that contribute to the success of energy efficiency policies in IPEEC summary report
It can act as a bridge among innovation, technological progress, and energy efficiency measures. By filling a gap in countries´ policy cycles – and acting as a “missing link” – it plays and essential role in facilitating the effective adoption of new energy efficiency measures and technologies - thus, delivering greater benefits for consumers and all sectors of the economy.
It can help address the challenging 'rebound effect' associated with efficiency gains, and has a role in facilitating the roll-out of smart grids and decentralised energy generation. New efforts in this space could amplify the achievements to date, and yield greater results for international collaboration on energy efficiency more broadly, including those achieved under the EELP.
