Since people lighten qualification and use energy in the right way, the next generation will benefit. Consequently, teenagers are back up to actively participate in minimiz ing energy wastage by being educated on the importance of energy saving. The organisation of Hong Kong has been actively championing the important role to put effort towards energy efficiency in Hong Kong. Hence, the government of Hong Kong which will be referred to as the government, has been prompted to introduce a voluntary Energy Efficiency Labeling organisation (EELS), which from now henceforth will be referred to as the scheme, which covers quite a number of appliances and equipments. The government, through the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD), gives the scheme for equipment and appliances used at home as soundly as in the office. In order to promote environmentally responsible products, the people of Hong Kong, importers as rise as manufactures are encouraged to join the scheme. There are labels that are issued with the main aim of providing data on energy consumption as well as efficiency to help making part a decision when people are considering purchasing such appliances and equipment. One of such labels is the Coefficient of slaying (COP). The Coefficient of Performance (COP) is a measurement of efficiency, which measures the amount of power input to a system compared to the amount of power proceeds by the same system. The COP has no dimension because the input and the output are both heedful in Watt. The theoretical value of Coefficient of Performance (COP) of the energy-saving household appliances should be well labeled for the customer. Additionally, the government has also introduced a mandatory Energy Efficiency Labeling strategy (EELS) to extend the publics choice as far as energy efficient appliances are concerned. Therefore, public awareness on energy saving will be raise. 1.1 DESCRIPTION The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) is promoting the Energy Efficiency Labeling Scheme (EELS) to among the people of Hong Kong. Various household appliances as well as office equipment will incorporate a given energy label which will be informing the consumer of the products energy consumption and efficiency. Since the consumers are make aware of this scheme, they should be able to purchase such household appliances or office equipment. 1.2 ECONOMIC brilliance The push by Hong Kong
