In realising all the above initiatives, a number of legislative measures are under consideration by the EDPMO, Ministry of Communications, Ministry of Development and Ministry of Education. In 2009, the Centre for Strategic and Policy Studies (CSPS) has conducted a Brunei Energy Efficiency and Conservation Study on the Roadmap Formulation and Policy Advice via a consultant firm which as a result, designed seven key policies that come with the following recommendations:
Policy 1: Appliance Energy Efficiency Standards and Labeling
Establishing legal framework for energy efficiency standards.
Setting up minimum energy efficiency standards for air conditioners in the first phase, followed by refrigerators, lightings and other appliances in the subsequent phases.
Designing the types of energy efficiency indicators and rating scale to be adopted for each appliance.
Introducing energy labeling for selected electrical appliances.
Policy 2: Building Regulation
Establishing legal framework for Building Energy Efficiency.
Introducing energy efficient or green building labels or certificates.
Demonstrating green buildings
Policy 3: Energy MANAGEMENT
Introducing the energy MANAGEMENT process that is compatible with international standards such as ISO 50001.
Introducing energy audit policy for buildings and industries
Promoting Energy Service Company (ESCO)
Policy 4: Fuel Economy Regulation
Evaluate the possibility of implementing fuel economy regulations.
Promoting the utilisation of hybrid and electric vehicles.
