Cooling
This week CLASP introduces Mepsy, a new planning tool designed to help policymakers, researchers, and others assess the climate and energy impacts of appliance energy efficiency policy scenarios.
When Parvin purchased her solar home system and appliances through a Global LEAP Awards results-based financing mechanism, she never imagined the quality of service would be better than the grid.

Refrigeration
Refrigerators are uniquely placed to support resiliency to COVID-19 in off- and weak-grid settings. Increasing access to high-quality, energy-efficient solar-powered refrigerators can mitigate impacts of the virus within households and increase access to quality healthcare, immunizations, and a future COVID-19 vaccine.

In December, CLASP expanded its partnership with the Pakistan government to develop a national action plan for sustainable cooling.
In 2019, India’s Bureau of Energy Efficiency partnered with CLASP and partners Environmental Design Solutions, Market Xcel, and Zenatix to launch the National Energy End-Use Monitoring (NEEM) Dashboard—a tool that integrates data from a major residential end-use survey and real-time appliance monitoring.
CLASP and the Bureau of Energy Efficiency have worked together since 2002 to advance policy solutions that increase the uptake of highly efficient lighting, appliances, and equipment.
To understand more about Indian consumers and their use-cases for productive use appliances, CLASP conducted a series of field visits in rural Bengaluru with the SELCO Foundation in 2019.
CLASP is pleased to announce that Bishal Thapa will join us this month to lead our India program.

Water
Increasing the water efficiency of taps and showerheads in India would avoid massive carbon dioxide emissions, in addition to reducing water stress during an ongoing crisis, new CLASP research has found.
A new analysis shows how energy consumption patterns shifted during that period and, together with consumer shopping data, provides clues to how the pandemic could drive long-term change in electricity use.
08 Feb 2021
Gender mainstreaming approaches for off-grid appliances that take into account both women’s involvement and empowerment — from design to distribution and use — can expand the productive customer base for entire communities.
A new report from Efficiency for Access reveals gains in the performance and cost of off-grid appropriate appliances, particularly televisions and fans.

Renewable Energy Systems
Our 2021 Appliance Data Trends report finds the performance and cost of off-grid appliances show promising improvements, with the greatest increases in near-to-market product categories.
The Indian Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) has adopted voluntary energy efficiency policies for air compressors and ultra-high-definition (UHD) televisions aimed at reducing the energy use and climate impacts associated with these products while saving money for consumers.
15 Jan 2021
New CLASP research reveals the opportunity to reduce water consumption while avoiding associated carbon emissions from water heating through water efficiency policies for showerheads and faucets. The reports assess the world’s top carbon-emitting economies and identify three major countries where new or revised policies would have the greatest impact.
