Asia-Pacific
Transforming efficiency standards and appliance markets is key to cutting emissions, strengthening energy security, and building a climate-resilient future for Asia-Pacific's 4.7 billion people.
How does appliance efficiency benefit Asia-Pacific?
Extreme heat is sweeping across the region, driving up energy demand for cooling. CLASP works to improve the efficiency of lifesaving cooling appliances like fans, refrigerators and air conditioners, to reduce electricity consumption, cut running costs, and ease pressure on power grids. We also support efficiency improvements for agricultural, household, and industrial appliances such as irrigation pumps, washing machines, cooktops, TVs, motors, and boilers.
CLASP collaborates with key stakeholders to advance policies, incentivize the market, and drive appliance testing, ensuring that these technologies consume less energy, strengthen energy security, and meet climate goals.
