Each year we brief numerous delegations from China. Training in setting energy-efficiency standards is a focus of our exchange programs. Last year, we hosted a delegation that studied methods and practice for refrigerator energy-efficiency standards. On the basis of that work, the team returned to China and drafted a national standard that will be promulgated in 1998. As part of China's Green Lights Program, a group is currently at LBNL to study energy-efficiency standards for lighting products.
Air conditioners are likely to be the topic of further standards training in the near future.
