Why Standby Power should be reduced?
• Standby power is “leaking electricity”• Number of products consuming standby power isincreasing• Home networking devices are supposed to be a big
enemy to standby (always waiting for network
signal, i.e. ever-standby-mode)2

Comments on the Proposal• Necessity of Cooperation in Energy Efficiency andEnergy Conservation among East Asian Countries(Japan, Korea, China…..)– Lacking in information, different implementation system,
different economic status– Some systematic approach is needed to promote mutual
understandings in East Asia as a first step
– EE Policy development Fund can be a probable solution
to promote understandings and even further cooperation inEE between countries• For the Successful cooperation– Build up counterparts in each countries– International partnership with Policy + Technical together– Concentrate in a field of easier consensus at the beginning9
