Report of IEC SMB SG1 “Energy Efficiency and Renewable Resources” Jean.baronas@am.sony

1. IEC TC100 AGS Meeting Held in May 2010 in Athens, Greece Report of IEC SMB SG1 “Energy Efficiency and Renewable Resources” Jean.baronas@am.sony.com

2. IEC SMB Actions and Decisions • SMB met in February, 2010 • Reviewed SG1 Tel Aviv report and TC/SC comments • Concern: “vague, imprecise, and no action” recommendations • Suggest: SG1 members be assigned as “Champions” and they develop New Work Item Proposals (NWIP) • Decisions 137/8 and 137/9 (next slide)

3. SMB Decisions 137/8 and 137/9 • SMB Decision 137/8 • Approve SG 1 recommendations 27 - 34 • Request clarification: 15 revised, 18 revised, and 20 revised • Noting work ongoing in IEC TC100 and IEC TC108 • Asked SG 1 to respond to input IEC TCs/SCs • Reference: SMB/4135A/CC and SMB/4135B/CC • SMB Decision 137/9 • Confirmed Mr. Jeha Kim, of Korea, as an SG 1 member • Reference: SMB-SG1/0090/INF

6. Revised Twice, Recommendation 15

7. Revised Twice, Recommendation 18

8. IEC TC100 Comments, #18 • Oppose Recommendation 18 • Reason: The IEC TC100 expertise is in standardization and not legislation. The IEC TC100 develops standards, including DTV power measurement and set top box power measurement, as well as ongoing and planned standardization projects for networked devices, DC power supplies, and battery chargers. These standards specify measurement techniques as well as electronic interface specifications.

9. Revised Twice, Recommendation 20 • “Recognizing differing national and regional legislation/standards in place for the classification and labeling of consumer electronic equipment (such as TV sets, set-top boxes, cable modems, DSL routers, etc.) with respect to energy consumption and energy efficiency, respectively, TC 100 should prepare a Technical Report which describes and compares these requirements.” • “Based on this analysis, the TR should discuss possibilities / pre-requisites for future alignment and potential support from standardization.” 

10. IEC TC100 Comments, #20 • Oppose • Reason: The IEC TC100 expertise is in standardization and standards development and not legislation. Classification and labeling is out of the IEC TC100 scope. Preparing the requested Technical Report (TR) does not appear to be useful, because classification, energy consumption, and label are defined by national statues. 

11. IEC SMB SG1 Considerations of ISO/Strategic Advisory Group on Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Source (SAG E) Recommendations, 55 - 66Source:SMB-SG1/0091/INF

12. Recommendations 55 -66 from ISO/SAG E Meeting 18/19 February 2010 • Vocabulary • Energy efficiency in heavy industries, combined heat and power (CHP), boilers, buildings • Solar energy and biofuels • Smart grid • Water sector standards • Energy services

13. Recommendations from ISO/SAG E • Recommendation 55 • Support ISO/IEC JPC/2 (terminology) plan • More P-member involvement is requested • Recommendation 56 • Encourages energy efficiency in ISO/TC17, Steel • Asks SAG E to investigate possible energy efficiency initiatives in cement, aluminum, and other heavy industries

14. Recommendation 57 from ISO/SAG E • Encourages further discussion between ISO TMB and IEC SMB secretariats on combined heat and power (CHP) • SAG E members encouraged to discuss CHP with national policy makers

15. Recommendation 58 from ISO/SAG E • Plan to readdress efficiency calculation and labeling boilers and hot water systems • Includes large biomass boilers

16. Recommendation 59 from ISO/SAG E • General support for ISO/TC 163 and ISO/TC 205 on energy and buildings • Further progress to address market opportunities

17. Recommendation 60 from ISO/SAG E • Welcomes new proposals in ISO/TC 180 Solar energy • Including a proposal from SAC (China) on vacuum collectors and proposals that address integration of solar into buildings

18. Recommendation 61 from ISO/SAG E • Support ISO biofuel activity • Ask SAG E Secretary to discuss raising awareness by DEVCO (ISO policy committee to address the needs of developing countries) and UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organization)

19. Recommendation 62 from ISO/SAG E • Ensure liaison with IEC discussions with Smartgrid • Joint work, as appropriate • SAG E will develop a white paper on areas where ISO input could be advantageous • ANSI (US), AFNOR (France), BSI (UK), KATS (Korea), SII (Israel), and UNIDO

20. Recommendation 63 from ISO/SAG E • COPOLCO could review their proposal on energy services for consideration with different policies that support the provision of energy • Encourages energy suppliers and policy makers support for the COPOLCO proposal • Encourages consideration of “horizontal aspects” with other service level agreement types of standards • Notes success of ISO/TC224, water services, in developing voluntary standards

21. Recommendation 64 from ISO/SAG E • China’s (SAC) proposal on energy saving calculations has potential to promote a common understanding among SAG E • SAG E: ANSI, KATS, AFNOR, NEC, BSI to finalize the SAC proposal, April 2010

22. Recommendation 65 from ISO/SAG E • Recommendation 65 • IEA’s priorities (energy efficiency and renewable energy resources) are notable and SAG E will determine what they can contribute

23. Recommendation 66 from ISO/SAG E • SAG E notes some important (energy) issues are not yet covered by international standards • SAG E recommends that energy saving calculation methods and practices related to energy efficiency be handled in a flexible, coordinated, and open approach • Within existing committee structures • Or by creating project committees • SAG E will continue to discuss the gaps

24. Summary • SG1 revised recommendations under consideration • Some supported with qualification • Some opposed • SG1 considering ISO SAG E recommendations • IEC TC100 supports For further information: jean.baronas@am.sony.com
