  title = {Improving energy performance metrics to maximize the benefits of disruptive technologies},
  abstract = {<p>Advances in appliance and equipment systems' technologies also cause changes in their technical characteristics<br />that can affect energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions. Energy performance evaluation<br />methods that use testing and metrics can evolve to account for energy consumption contributed from new<br />technological characteristics. However, there is no systematic effort to enable the advancement of test procedures<br />and performance metrics to maximize the energy, climate, and financial benefits of disruptive technologies.<br />Therefore, it is important for countries to regularly update their energy-efficiency policy programs, such as<br />standards and labels, by improving test procedures and metrics to reflect the innovation in emerging technologies<br />as well as to mitigate the risk of deploying obsolete technology. This paper shows how energy performance<br />metrics have been improving in selected appliances and equipment and provides insights to design a systematic<br />effort to improve metrics and test procedures at the speed of ongoing changes in technologies and markets.</p>},
