The Market Transformation Programme produces Government Standard Briefing Notes, which contain relevant information from the evidence base and details all references and assumptions behind the figures in the evidence base. These Briefing Notes are public consultation documents that allow stakeholders to examine the data and assumptions behind the proposed Government Standards and related projections. These are replacing the now out-of-date Briefing Notes.
These documents provide background information to the Consultation 'Saving energy through better products and appliances' (see http://www.defra.gov.uk/corporate/consult/energy-using-products/index.htm).
They include:
- Rationale and definitions of the evidence used to prepare the consultation 'Saving energy through better products and appliances' document
- Assumptions made to model the impact of existing and potential policy measures
- Brief details of new and emerging technology
- Key Inputs - to provide summary figures and reference sources of the inputs, along with the key methods and assumptions used in the modelling.
- Reference Scenario - a projection of what is likely to happen to energy consumption of each product if no new policies are implemented.
- Policy Scenario - a projection of what would happen if a defined set of new product-specific and related cross-cutting policies were implemented.
- Best Available Technology Scenario (BAT) - a hypothetical projection of what would happen if the best available technologies on the (current and future) market were bought or installed from now on.
- Key Outputs - a summary of the Government standards and related energy and emission savings
