For Bulgaria and Romania, improving local engineering models and country-level models is a high priority, while the improvement of regional and global models is a lower prlOrlty e Local Engineering Models The goal of these models is to define the most appropriate supply-side and demand-side planning and management options that achieve energy conservation goals at the lowest total cost for local (town, city, industrial) areas or industrial processes.

Specific opportunities for cooperation between American, Bulgarian, and Romanian specialists include the following: The establishment of contacts with DOE, the Federal Energy Management Program, and DOE's national laboratories in order to adapt and implement the FEDS Model Level-1 Building Version in Bulgaria; 2. The establishment of contacts with the Research Development and Demonstration Department of Brooklyn Union Gas (BUG)

Of particular interest to these countries will be the Second Generation Model for modeling future greenhouse emissions. This model will help illuminate the impacts of preventing pollution and what each country's energy supply portfolio should be to minimize regional environmental damages.

is a joint venture with an existing company that makes technology needed to improve domestic energy efficiency. As an example of this type of opportunity, the Phillips Lighting Company of the Netherlands has built a jointly owned factory with Polish concerns to manufacture efficient light bulbs in Poland.

ENERGY LAWS AND CODES The development of new energy laws and codes in Bulgaria and Romania is meant to provide a secure framework for the functioning of the energy sectors and to provide market signals and regulations to promote efficiency. Status of Energy Laws and Codes Both Romania and Bulgaria are in the process of reviewing codes and regulations referring to the energy end-use in buildings and industries.

Non-Government Organizations: Organizations including Alliance to Save Energy, American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy, and the Natural Resources Defense Council have been active in the United States in the development of laws and regulations. States: Some specific states, including New York, California, and Wisconsin, have been leaders on statelevel regulation.

Begin technical exchanges between American and Bulgarian/Romanian engineering technical societies to develop some voluntary performance standards for certain equipment such as lighting, appliances, or gas furnaces. Begin technical exchanges on environmental regulations, especially for power production.
