  1. Overview of Draft 2 (Version 4.0) ENERGY STAR Specification for Computer Monitors Craig Hershberg US EPA Hershberg.Craig@epa.gov

  2. Agenda and Goals for Today’s Meeting • Present and discuss changes between the Draft 1 and Draft 2 specification • Present an overview of the test data provided by manufacturers • Discuss completion of the computer monitor test methodology • Discuss Partner Commitments, including labeling of computer monitors GOALS: • Provide EPA’s rationale for the Draft 2 specification • Gather industry feedback on Draft 2 • Outline next steps and a timeline for finalizing the Version 4.0 specification

  3. Time-Frame for How We Arrived at Today’s Meeting • July 1999: Monitor MOU Version 3.0 went into effect • April 2002: Computer monitor stakeholders meeting in California. Collected feedback on Draft 1 Version 4.0 specification • May 2002: European computer monitor stakeholders meeting in France • June 2002 – February 2003: Test methodology development phase (EPA and industry) • February – May 2003: Data collection and testing phase (EPA and industry) • May – July 2003: Data analysis phase, and development of Draft 2 Version 4.0 specification (EPA) • July 22, 2003: Stakeholder meeting to discuss Draft 2 specification

  4. Highlights of the Draft 2 Specification • Designed to be a performance-based specification • Does not differentiate based on technology (CRT, LCD, etc.) • Recognizes best performing monitors in the marketplace (in terms of energy-efficiency) • Based on test data voluntarily submitted to EPA by many manufacturers • Includes detailed test methodology for how to test in all three modes • Contains Tier 1 and Tier 2 maximum allowable power consumption for On, Sleep, and Off modes • Allows various screen sizes, technologies, and brand-names of computer monitors to qualify under the Tier 1 requirements • Establishes partner commitments (to be discussed later today) • Labeling • Grandfathering • Provides extended effective dates to accommodate the removal of grandfathering

  5. Overview of Data Submitted to EPA by Manufacturers

  6. Overview of Data {1} • 2 rounds of voluntary testing • February - April and May - June • 19 manufacturers represented (15 brand-names and 4 additional OEMs) • 49 CRTs, 40 LCDs, 1 Plasma display • 87 models included in analysis (3 represented models excluded due to testing at incorrect voltage/frequency combination)

  7. Overview of Data {2} • For perspective: Only 265 computer monitor models in 2002 with retail sales over 100 units (data from NPD) • 15 top selling models from Q1 2002 represented • 10 out of top 20 selling CRTs • Top 5 selling LCDs • Data represents 15” to 24” models and one 30” model • Manufacturers encouraged to submit testing data on latest, highest resolution models • Many models EPA has test data for are highlighted as “NEW” on manufacturer Web sites • Several models from data set reviewed in June 2003 issue of Consumer Reports

  8. Changes to Draft 2 from Draft 1

  9. Several Minor Changes to Definitions • Operational mode definitions reordered and clarified • Now listed from highest to lowest power consumption • Examples of “a request from a user” are included • Does Version 4.0 effectively differentiate between computer monitors and televisions? • “A commercially available electronic product with a display screen….capable of displaying output information from a computer via one or more inputs, such as VGA, DVI, and/or IEEE 1394.” • Specification attempts to differentiate TVs and computer monitors based on how they are marketed and sold • Is it clear as to what can and cannot qualify under Version 4.0, or is further discussion needed?

  10. Draft 2 Version 4.0 Energy-Efficiency Requirements

  11. Energy-Efficiency Requirements Tier 1 Requirements • On Mode:Y=33X+30 • Sleep Mode:  4 watts • Off Mode:  2 watts • Effective Date: November 1, 2004 Tier 2 Requirements • On Mode: If X<1 megapixel, then Y=20; if X>1 megapixel, then Y=26X-5 • Sleep Mode:  2 watts • Off Mode:  1 watt • Effective Date: November 1, 2005

  12. On Mode Requirement Tier 1 Set at Y=33X+30 • Y = watts (rounded up to nearest whole number) • X = number of megapixels (in decimal form) • 60% of all monitors in EPA’s data set meet Tier 1 in On Mode Example: A computer monitor with 1,920,000 pixels (resolution of 1600 x 1200) has maximum power consumption allowance of 94 watts 33(1.92)+30=93.36 or 94 watts

  13. Sample Tier 1 On Mode Values * CRT = Preferred pixel format with highest resolution intended to be driven at 75 Hz LCD = Native Resolution

  14. Sleep and Off Mode Requirements Tier 1 • Sleep Mode:  4 watts • One Sleep Mode requirement • References to Sleep Mode Default Time have been removed from the computer monitor specification • 30-minute default time for Sleep Mode defined in computer agreement • 60-minute default time for Deep Sleep Mode not applicable • 87% of all monitors in EPA’s data set meet Tier 1 in Sleep Mode • Off Mode:  2 watts • 78% of all monitors in EPA’s data set meet Tier 1 in Off Mode

  15. Tier 1 Qualifying Models: All Operating Modes

  16. Tier 1 Line of Qualification 17% of all CRTs qualify 90% of all LCDs qualify

  17. 49% of Models Meet Tier 1 Levels • Allows approximately 49% of all monitors from EPA’s data set to qualify for ENERGY STAR under Tier 1 • (17% of 47 CRTs and 90% of 39 LCDs)

  18. Draft 2 Version 4.0 Energy-Efficiency Requirements Tier 2

  19. On Mode Requirement Set at: If X<1 megapixel, then Y=20; if X>1 megapixel, then Y=26X-5 • Y = watts (rounded up to nearest whole number) • X = number of megapixels (in decimal form) • 22% of all monitors in EPA’s current data set meet Tier 2 in On Mode Example: • A computer monitor with 786,432 pixels (resolution of 1024 x 768) has maximum power consumption allowance of 20 watts • A computer monitor with 1,920,000 pixels (resolution of 1600 x 1200) has maximum power consumption allowance of 45 watts 26(1.92)-5=44.92 or 45 watts

  20. Sleep and Off Mode Requirements • Sleep Mode:  2 watts • 63% of all monitors in EPA’s current data set meet Tier 2 in Sleep Mode • Off Mode:  1 watt • 57% of all monitors in EPA’s current data set meet Tier 2 in Off Mode • Will harmonize with FEMP • Will follow 1-watt level that many ENERGY STAR specifications are moving towards

  21. Tier 2 Line of Qualification 31% of all LCDs qualify now 31% of all LCDs qualify

  22. Proposed Tier 1 and Tier 2 Lines of Qualification

  23. Tier 2 Qualifying Models: All Operating Modes • 14% of all monitors from EPA’s current data set qualify for ENERGY STAR • Tier 2 provided as an “energy-efficiency roadmap” for manufacturers – will be revisited prior to taking effect, to ensure it is still applicable to the marketplace at that time

  24. Big Picture: Potential Savings Projected Savings by 2010 = • Energy: approximately 246.7 billion kWh • Dollars: approximately $14 billion • CO2: approximately 37.6 billion lbs, or equivalent to taking approximately 2.9 million cars off the road Per Unit Savings = • Energy: Up to 147 kWh annually • Dollars: Up to $12 - 24 annually Notes: Savings (1) Include On, Sleep, and Off Modes, and (2) Assume CRTs are replaced with a mix of ENERGY STAR qualified LCDs and CRTs, with increases in market penetration going to LCDs.

  25. # 1 in Carbon, kWh, and $ Savings for 2010

  26. Timeline and Version 4.0 Effective Dates

  27. Timeline and Proposed Effective Dates for Version 4.0 Specification {1} • August 12, 2003: Deadline forfeedback on Draft 2 • September 2003: Distribute Draft 3 Version 4.0 specification • October 2003: Finalize and distribute Version 4.0 • November 1, 2004: Tier 1 effective date • All products with a date of manufacture on or after November 1, 2004 must meet new Version 4.0 requirements to qualify as ENERGY STAR • November 1, 2005: Tier 2 effective date • All products with a date of manufacture on or after November 1, 2005 must meet Tier 2 requirements to qualify as ENERGY STAR

  28. Timeline and Proposed Effective Dates for Version 4.0 Specification {2} Current Specification (Version 3.0) November 2003November 2004 November 2005 Issue New Spec Effective Date of Tier 1 Effective Date of Tier 2 July 2003 Tier 1 qualification based on date of manufacture Tier 2 qualification based on date of manufacture Transition Period New Specification (Version 4.0)

  29. Removal of Grandfathering Language • EPA has removed grandfathering language from ENERGY STAR specifications • Delivers on consumer expectations of high efficiency performance and energy savings • Ensures that ENERGY STAR's ability to differentiate more efficient products is not undermined by high percentages of labeled products qualifying at less stringent performance levels • EPA plans to accommodate manufacturers by extending effective dates of the Version 4.0 specification
