To promote and to educate consumers on the use of more energy
efficient appliances/products.
To encourage consumers to select the appliance that uses the least
energy and which meets their energy needs.
Activities:
Submission the final working paper to the Attorney General Chamber (AGC).
Launching of voluntary program for Standard & Labeling by Q3, 2018.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT IN GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS
BackgroundThe electricity consumptions for governmentbuildings have shown significant increase everyyear.
All Ministries & Departments are required toappoint energy managers & focal points.
Objectives
To increase awareness on the importance ofenergy saving for all government officers andstaff.
To share energy consumption pattern forgovernment building to all officers and staff.
To reduce energy consumption for governmentbuilding.
Activities
Conducting energy saving talks to all government officers and staffs.
Monitor the electricity consumption for all government buildings.
Providing advice and recommendations on how to reduce electricity consumption in building.
Results after 2 years
The electricity consumption in government buildings has shown a significant reduction incomparison with 2015.
A reduction of 6.9% in 2016 with a financial saving of B$10.8 million. Further reduction of 7.1% in2017 with another B$11.2 million saving.
Total cumulative saving in 2 years were B$29.5 million including additional gas saving from every KWh ofelectricity consumption that were saved.
We expect to see further reduction in the subsequent years.

DEVELOPMENT OF ENERGY MANAGEMENT POLICYIN BRUNEI DARUSSALAM
Background:Brunei Darussalam is considering in adopting an Energy
Management System that is compatible with the ISO 50001.
Building owners will be encouraged to introduce management
systems that include equipment to monitor energy consumption
such as the Building Automation Systems (BAS), Controllers(i.e. demand controllers) and Building Energy Management
Systems (BEMS).
All Ministries & Departments are required to appoint energy
managers & focal points.

Activities:Conducting energy saving talks to all government officers and staffs.
In support of the energy management law, a sufficient number of qualified externalauditors should be trained to conduct monitoring and verification exercises to ensurecompliance.
Seek assistant from international experts (ECCJ, Japan, ACE, etc).
The policy is expected to be implemented by 2023.
