At the National Centre for Energy Efficiency and Conservation, we are dedicated to setting the bar for energy efficiency through the development of rigorous codes, standards, and specifications. Our commitment extends to domestic, commercial, and industrial facilities, ensuring they adhere to the highest energy efficiency standards. Additionally, we house state-of-the-art laboratories for equipment and appliance testing and calibration, guaranteeing compliance with essential standards.
We actively engage with key stakeholders, including the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), to drive the development of standards for renewable energy and energy-efficient appliances within Nigeria. Our collaborative approach involves working closely with organizations such as the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), and manufacturers.
Together, we've developed comprehensive standards for various appliances, including:
We've adopted Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) to guide the energy performance of these appliances. MEPS sets specific performance requirements that limit the maximum energy consumption of products while performing their designated tasks. These standards are established using rigorous testing procedures that define how performance is measured.
Energy Efficiency Labeling: It provides detailed information on the performance and energy labeling criteria necessary for an appliance to carry a valid energy efficiency label.
Minimum Performance Requirements: MEPS outlines the performance requirements that appliances must meet to achieve minimum energy performance standards.
MEPS is a highly effective approach to drive energy efficiency improvements in products. It offers several advantages:
Encouraging energy efficiency through MEPS is a cost-effective strategy.
It leads to a more efficient range of products for consumers to choose from.
Manufacturers are encouraged to continually enhance the efficiency of their products.
MEPS helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions by curbing energy consumption, especially when electricity generation relies heavily on fossil fuels.
We actively participate in the development of national, regional, and international standards through our involvement in various technical committees. Our staff members are engaged with committees such as:
Our active involvement in these committees ensures that our standards align with the best practices and global benchmarks in the field of energy efficiency.
