  1. ENERGY STAR® Monitor Industry Meeting April 29, 2002 San Francisco, CA Craig Hershberg US EPA Hershberg.Craig@epa.gov www.energystar.gov

  2. Why Are We Here? • Maintain open lines of communication to arrive at a challenging and fair specification • Very interested in your input as you have in-depth product and market knowledge • Present EPA’s program framework and convey flexibility in terms of efficiency levels based on manufacturer data

  3. Meeting Goals • Present Draft 1 Monitor Specification • Solicit industry feedback on all aspects of the specification and partner commitments • Initiate timeline for developing final specification

  4. Roles and Responsibilities • TCO Development: Presentations this afternoon and tomorrow • Logistical simplicity • Harmonization over the long term • NRDC and other interested parties: Provided recommendations to EPA • Elements included in draft specification • Co-presenters with EPA in today’s agenda

  5. ENERGY STAR • Voluntary partnership with EPA and DOE • Easily identifies energy-efficient products for home and office • Representing approx. top 25% in their category for energy efficiency • One label at the national level for over 30 products • Reduces air pollution and saves money • Turn-key solution • International presence

  6. Computer Monitor • A commercially available electronic product with a display screen and its associated electronics encased in a single housing that is capable of displaying output information from a computer via one or more inputs, such as VGA, DVI, and/or IEEE 1394. • CRT, LCD, or other display device • No devices or an upstream cord connected to hub/port when monitor is being tested • Attempted to differentiate TVs and monitors based on how they are marketed and sold

  7. The Big Picture • Savings in 2010 under proposed monitor specifications: • Energy: 26 billion kWh • Energy Bill (in 2001 $): $1.8 billion • Carbon: 3.5 MMT • Equivalent to 29 billion lbs of CO2not emitted into air • Equals yearly emissions of approx. 2.5 million cars Notes: (1) Savings include active, sleep, and off, and (2) Assumes CRTs are replaced with a mix of ENERGY STAR qualified LCDs and CRTs, with increases in market penetration going to LCDs

  8. April 2002 • EPA releases Draft 1 Specification • First EPA/Industry meeting May 2002 • Industry to test products and submit data/suggestions to EPA • EPA/EU meeting in Nice, France June 2002 • EU and industry to provide comments on Draft 1 Specification • EPA issues Draft 2 Specification July 2002 • Executive Order 1 year anniversary • EU and industry to provide comments on Draft 2 Specification August - Fall 2002 • EPA releases subsequent drafts as needed • EU and industry to provide comments as needed • EPA finalizes specification, preferably in late summer January 2003 • V4.0 tentatively takes effect Timeline: Key Proposed Dates

  9. European Union • Signed agreement between EPA and EU to coordinate OE labeling • Work together to develop new or revised specifications covered by agreement • EPA to present draft monitor specifications to EU in late May in Nice, France • EPA would like initial industry feedback in 3 weeks to include in EU presentation

  10. Why Active Power? • Feasible without negatively affecting product performance; in fact, some manufacturers are already meeting the proposed specifications • Limited additional energy savings potential in sleep and off modes • Not dependent on enabling rates • Allows a variety of technologies (e.g., CRT and LCD) to qualify

  11. Recognizing LCDs • Highlight a new technology in the marketplace • Additional benefits: • Space • Heat • Power consumption • Useful life • Installation • Disposal

  12. Key Stakeholders • Panel Manufacturers • Final Assemblers/Resellers • European and Asian Labeling Programs • Retailers • Market Transformation Community (Utilities, Regional Groups, and Environmental Organizations)

  13. Mayo Clinic Case Study • More and more businesses, ranging from hospitals to financial institutions, are making the switch to LCD monitors. • Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, MN, started making the switch to LCDs in 1996. • As of January 2002, they have over 7,900 LCD monitors in use around the hospital.

  14. Annual Savings for Mayo Clinic • For each 15” LCD monitor that replaced a 17” CRT monitor, the Clinic saved over $40 in energy bills. • This amounts to a total savings of over $321,135 annually.
