EVALUATION OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY POLICY MEASURES FOR COOLING APPLIANCES IN GHANA BETWEEN 2010 - 2020

Abstract

Cooling appliances (refrigerators, freezers and non-ducted single split air conditioners) have been identified as the most electricity consuming appliances in the residential sector. Whilst refrigerators and freezers consume averagely between 25% and 30% of the total electricity in the residential sector, air conditioners, on the other hand, consume 6.5%. Ghana has over 16 years of experience in appliance standards and labelling regulation.
