| ANNEX: SME energy efficiency opportunities assessment checklist |
With the rising costs of energy and concerns about global warming, it is
imperative that countries adopt the most efficient energy conservation
measures and technologies. Energy conservation must evolve as a way of life
in developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region given the limited availability
of resources. If we are to share commercial energy equitably across all
sections of society, it is necessary to conserve energy and use it efficiently.
Industries can become globally competitive when their production process
consumes the least amount of energy.
