  1. Energy Star andGovernment PurchasingCraig Hershberg, EPAJeff Harris, LBNL Power Supplies Workshop San Francisco, CA January 14, 2002

  2. Overview • Energy Star • about the label • relevance to this workshop • International activities • Government Purchasing • government as a market-leader • energy-efficient purchasing policies • Status of Executive Order

  3. Government as aMarket Leader • Feds = world’s biggest customer (>$10 B/year for energy-using products) • State/local agencies together add ~4x federal purchasing power • Make (better) use of $ already being spent • Create business advantage for efficient products + new technology • Common efficiency criteria = buyer-led market transformation

  4. Estimated Energy Savings, 2010 (Federal total = $224 M/year)

  5. Federal Purchasing Policies • “Agencies shall select, where life-cycle cost-effective, ENERGY STAR® and other ...products in the upper 25 percent of energy efficiency as designated by FEMP.” Executive Order 13123 (1999) and FAR Chapter 23 (2001) • “Each agency …shall purchase products that use no more than one watt in their standby power consuming mode [or] …products with the lowest standby power wattage …” Executive Order 13221 (2001)

  6. TargetingEnergy-Efficient Products • Significant energy use • Volume of government purchasing • Potential energy and cost savings • Method for energy testing and rating • Efficiency data available • product lists • ratings or labels • “quality-mark” (Energy Star™) • Multiple suppliers • Consistency with other programs (utility rebates, industry initiatives, etc.)

  7. Energy Star™ and DOE/FEMP Efficiency Recommendations • Non-residential lighting • Electric motors and transformers • Non-residential heating and cooling equipment • Office equipment • Residential HVAC, appliances, lighting • Water-saving devices • Roofing and windows • Commercial food service [in preparation] • Low standby power products - New

  8. Computers & Office Equipment Phone Equipment (powered, cell, cordless)  TV, VCR, DVD, Audio Major Appliances Room AC Clothes washer, Dishwasher Microwave  Other Ceiling fans w/remote Portable power tools Desktop halogen lamp Exercise equipment Products with Standby Power

  9. Typical Energy Savings:Low Power Standby 350 300 250 200 Savings/unit (kWh/year) 150 100 50 0 TV Fax VCR Printer Copier TV/VCR Cell phone Microwave Dishwasher Cordless phone Clothes washer Computer Monitor Personal Computer Powered telephone Portable power tools Exercise equipment Room air conditioner Printer (no off switch) Copier (no off switch) Ceiling fans w/remote Desktop halogen lamp Compact audio system Energy Star Savings (kWh) Additional Standby Savings (kWh)

  10. Basic Approach • Build on and reinforce Energy Star • Public meeting (10/01); industry input • Product list - data from manufacturers • Disseminate information to federal purchasers (and others) • supply agencies (GSA, DLA) • private vendors • Web site: http://www.eren.doe.gov/femp/procurement/
