“…Gabriel further commented that, "mini-grids and off-grids increases household economic index hence increasing uptake of electrical appliances that consumes energy efficiently [1]. According to F.S Salleh and others on the article, impact of minimum energy performance standards(MEPS) regulation on energy saving in Malasia (2018) states that, " an average on-grid liquid crystal display(LCD) television of 50W consumes excess energy for mid-sized solar home system, however an average conventional alternating current (AC) refrigerator may need a solar panel and battery that is 8-9 times bigger than those required to energize a super-efficient direct current(DC) off-grid refrigerator" [16]. Figure 1 shows the energy system requirements to power a super-efficient off grid versus conventional refrigeration.…”

In addressing climate change and meeting countries National Determined Contribution (NDC) and national cooling action plan (NCAP) on energy ambitious targets in the year 2030, Kenya made several strides in drafting the appliances energy performance and labelling regulations of 2016. Energy efficiency enables distributed off-grid renewable energy systems, from solar home systems to renewable micro-grids, to deliver energy services that otherwise might be economically or technically infeasible in resource-constrained settings. This paper reviews specific multivariate econometric models over the period of 2016 to 2022 and summarizes the impact of minimum energy performance (MEPs) and the energy labels policies and regulations enacted. This paper assesses the energy efficiency label for cold chain appliances and identifies issues, potential improvements, and challenges for successfully nudging consumers towards highly energy efficiency cold chain appliances.

“…It is in this light that each individual is enjoined to lend a helping hand in energy conservation. In fact, one of the key strategies to promote efficient energy use in the countries all over the world is to implement the minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) with emphasis on Space Cooling and Refrigeration [1].…”

The major objective of the study was to design and develop a motion activated and temperature-controlled electric fan. It is the most practical and affordable way of keeping areas cool especially during hot and humid months. In the Bulacan State University, many electric fans installed in lecture rooms are left unattended even after class hours. This translates to unnecessary fire risks and/or excessive electric consumption of the University. It is in this light that the researchers developed a device that presents an opportunity for the development of intelligent appliances that can save on electricity consumption due to its innovative and eco-friendly features. Various designs were put forward and a careful consideration of each plan was done, with special considerations to the need for innovative appliances that can be very useful in terms of energy efficiency and environmentfriendliness through an integrated multi-dimensional sensor system. The study utilized the developmental research method in the fabrication of the project. The focus on the procedures and processes involved analysis, development and evaluation of the project and in validating the project. The steps involved in this method include the following: (1) studying research findings pertinent to the project; (2) developing the project based on the findings; (3) field testing of the project, and (4) revising the project. The project was developed in sixty (60) working days, where prototypes were subjected to a dry run and simulation period of two (2) weeks continuous operation. The actual operation cycles of the prototypes in accordance with the varying room temperatures throughout the day was also observed during this period, testing them on a varied number of parameters, namely: operation time, turn on times in terms of fan speed control mode and motion sensitivity tests. Evaluation results revealed that the project functioned according to its lofty expectations where it was determined that it was the appropriate design that integrated the most practical and adaptable configuration for the intended application. It is in this line that intelligent or smart ventilation systems have now matured, providing a cost-effective approach to managing hot and humid conditions.
