| Abstract | The 2012 World Energy Outlook highlights the importance of energy efficiency (EE) in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the coming decades. The objective of this study is to explore the available energy efficient technologies for using in households, with a focus on low income households and to assess market barriers to EE products. The study is conducted with household appliance retail shops in Phnom Penh City and Siem Reap province. The information on availability and market barriers to EE products is collected using questionnaire. 100 retailers in Phnom Penh City and 65 retailers in Siem Reap province are randomly selected for face to face interviews. Results of the study show that EE products for households are available in market in Cambodia with more than 80% of sampled retail shops selling EE products such as air conditioner, refrigerator, washing machine, iron, water boiler and water pumping The study also indicates that the key barrier indicated by retain shop is that customers don't care about environment, they care about the price of EE technology. Other key barriers are that customers and shop staff are lack of awareness and the information on EE products. Regarding to policy barrier, financial incentives to EE products and environmental policies and regulations are also key barrier. |
