2. What is ENERGY STAR ? Providing energy solutions to consumers and business

3. The ENERGY STAR® Solution • Voluntary partnership • Easily identifies energy efficient products • Reduces air polution and saves money • Facilitates public-private collaboration

4. The ENERGY STAR Label • One label at the national level • Over 35 products for home and office • Representing top 25% in their category for efficiency • Products either qualify or don’t qualify • Manufacturers test and label products • No cost for participating

5. ENERGY STAR Qualified Products • Household appliances • CFLs / residential fixtures / exit signs • Consumer electronics • Office equipment • Heating and cooling equipment • New homes • Windows • Transformers • Roof Products • Water coolers • Dehumidifiers • Traffic signals

6. These just in: Commercial solid door refrigerators and freezers Ventilation fans Ceiling fans Telephony Unitary HVAC Under revision: Residential HVAC TV/VCR Monitors Being explored Air purifiers Vending machines Food service equipment ENERGY STAR - The Latest

7. ENERGY STAR - Other Approaches • Home networking • promise of better home energy management for miscellaneous devices • 20% of home end use is miscellaneous energy • non-label approach • monitoring rollout of home networks • encouraging home energy mangement • Backend for all E* products • a one two punch (the network and E*) • significant home energy savings possible

8. ENERGY STAR Partners

9. ENERGY STAR Marketing: • A turnkey solution • Marketing tools and financing • manufactuers • utilities • retailers • institutional buyers • Purchasing tools • PR and advertising efforts • Change campaign • Recognition of manufacturer efforts with annual awards

10. ENERGY STAR: A platform for success • Widespread and growing participation • More than 1,600 manufacturer partners • More than 11,000 product models that comply with ENERGY STAR specifications • 100utility and state administrator partners promoting ENERGY STAR, • serving nearly 47% of households across the country • 553 retail Partners, • more than 7,100 storefronts in 50 states and Puerto Rico

11. ENERGY STAR and Power supplies: A History • Power supplies not labeled by ENERGY STAR - may be attached to inefficient product - label not easily visible on a power supply • E* partners have told us they can build more efficient products if they had more efficient power supplies • Solutions... • system approach to power supplies taken with telephony specification

12. ENERGY STAR is interested in learning more about Power supplies because... • Increased production of more efficient products - Help ENERGY STAR partners meet current and future ENERGY STAR specifications • Industry can take credit for monetary and carbon savings, industry leadership • Improve product performance

13. ENERGY STAR is interested in learning more about Power supplies because... • Universal product • ENERGY STAR is a global program, working with EU, Canada, Japan, New Zealand and Aus. • International power supply efforts • Specification harmonization - Easier for manufacturers to build power supplies to one specification • Any initiative should be coordinated

14. ENERGY STAR…Global Reach

15. More efficient power supplies help E* Partners with... • Product innovation & enhanced performance • efficiency • less heat • longer battery life • enhanced mobility • small footprint • increased functionality • Regulations, standards • Executive Order 13221 (low standby) • Pending US Legislation • International power supply efforts • Kyoto Protocol

16. More efficient power supplies help E* Partners with... • Potential credit for energy savings under regulatory scheme • In a future regulatory scheme companies may get credit for more energy efficient products • Acting as catalyst for more EE products, encouraging more EE design

17. International Initiatives Slides provided by: Hans-Paul Siderius, Novem, Netherlands h.siderius@novem.nl

18. International Initiatives (cont’d.) • EU Code of Conduct for Power Supplies • http://energyefficiency.jrc.cec.eu.int/html/standby_initiative.htm • Group for Energy Efficient Appliances (Europe) • www.efficient-appliances.org • Top Runner (Japan) • IEC TC59 WG 9 • IEA actions to reduce standby power consumption

19. EU Code of Conduct on efficiency of external power supplies • Voluntary Agreement • Levels phase 3 (1.1.2005):no load input power < 0.30 to 0.75 W (dependent on rated input power) • Signed by manufacturers of mobile telephones, mobile computers and power supplies

20. Group for Energy Efficient Appliances • Voluntary label • Level 2002-3: no load power consumption < 0.5 W (for separately sold external power supplies)

21. Top Runner • Regulatory program • Levels based on most efficient appliances • No Top Runner criteria for external power supplies, but criteria for e.g. VCRs will influence power supply specs

22. IEC TC59 Working Group 9 • Development of a test method to measure standby power • Includes definition of standby but test method can also be used for other modes (except on-mode) • Convenor: Lloyd Harrington (Aus) • First meeting: March 2002, Paris

23. IEA Standby Initiative • Analysis and publications • e.g. “Things that go blip in the night” • Exchange of information • 3 workshops on standby power consumption • Platform for harmonization

24. Final thoughts • Efficient power supplies can provide economic and technical benefits for a large variety of products • Identified as a product that... • Can realize E* goals of achieving environmental objectives at a desirable cost • Opportunity abounds for E*, E* Partners as well as OEMs and component manufacturers • Next steps…..
