This report is for people in developing countries who buy or use lights, air conditioners, refrigerators and freezers. It is divided into two separate sections, as follows: 1. a Pacific Islands perspective on appliance efficiency, and 2. energy efficiency of common electrical appliances. The first section provides a general context in which Pacific Island Governments can consider policy options relating to energy efficiency of electrical appliances common to the region-lights, air conditioners, refrigerators and freezers. Benefits and costs of these options are discussed. The second section is a discussion of the technical material relating to these appliances. It includes a description of their operating characteristics, the standards that apply to them, ways of conserving energy using existing appliances, and where available, their energy efficiency under relevant test conditions. Inverters, which may be applicable as power supplies for common appliances in remote regions, are also discussed.
