Energy Efficiency Indicators
Fundamentals on Statistics
Energy efficiency is high on the political agenda as governments seek to reduce wasteful
energy consumption, strengthen energy security and cut greenhouse gas emissions. However,
the lack of data for developing proper indicators to measure energy efficiency often
prevents countries from transforming declarations into actions.
This manual identifies the main sectoral indicators and the data needed to develop
these indicators; and to make surveying, metering and modeling practices existing
all around the world available to all. It has been developed with a companion document,
Energy Efficiency Indicators: Essentials for Policy Making, as a starting point towards
enabling policymakers to understand where greater efficiency is needed, to implement
appropriate policies and to measure their impact.
