Consequently, teenagers are encouraged to actively participate in minimizing energ y wastage by being educated on the importance of energy saving. The government 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 realize a voluntary Energy Efficiency Labeling Scheme (EELS), which from now henceforth will be referred to as the scheme, which covers quite a number of appliances and equipments. The government, by dint of the Electrical and windup(prenominal) Services Department (EMSD), gives the scheme for equipment and appliances used at home as well as in the office. In order to assist environmentally responsible products, the people of Hong Kong, importers as well as manufactures are encouraged to join the scheme. There are labels that are issued with the main aim of providing schooling on energy consumption as well as efficiency to help making better a decision when people are considering purcha sing much(prenominal) appliances and equipment. One of such labels is the Coefficient of Performance (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 sidetrack by the same system. The COP has no dimension because the input and the output are both measured in Watt. The theoretical value of Coefficient of Performance (COP) of the energy-saving planetary house appliances should be well labeled for the customer. Additionally, the government has also introduced a mandatory Energy Efficiency Labeling Scheme (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 made aware of this scheme, they should be able to purchase such household appliances or office equipment. 1.2 ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE The push by Hong Kong
