North America

Households and businesses across North America depend on the energy services their appliances provide. Activities like cooking, cooling, heating, and lighting are vital for the nearly 600 million people living here.

How does appliance efficiency benefit North America?

North America is home to two of the top ten highest-emitting economies in the appliance sector, Canada and the United States.

Appliance energy efficiency policies are key to reducing energy demand, keeping energy bills affordable, improving people’s quality of life, and protecting the planet.

CLASP collaborates with partners that support to the governments in Canada and the United States to harness the power of smart appliance efficiency policies to benefit people and reduce emissions. Our experts provide policymakers with world-leading research and technical support.
