8. 20.02.2007Name/Organisation etc.822nd, January 2008Wuppertal Institute & ADEME8 20.02.2007Name/Organisation etc. Baseline Two approaches must be used:  Consumers willing to purchase a more efficient appliance than they would have done without the EEI promotion measure.  The measure may encourage early replacement. In the first case, a market modelling approach should define the baseline, since the savings refer to the appliance that would have been purchased if the measure was not implemented. Level 1: EU 27 not efficient appliances average unit consumption Level 2: country not efficient appliances average unit consumption In the latter case, a stock modelling approach should define the baseline: the savings are estimated with reference to an appliance that would have normally been kept in the stock, still functioning, if the measure not was applied (level 3).

9. 20.02.2007Name/Organisation etc.922nd, January 2008Wuppertal Institute & ADEME9 20.02.2007Name/Organisation etc. Market modelling Market share (%), average EEI, average UC (kWh/y)

11. 20.02.2007Name/Organisation etc.1122nd, January 2008Wuppertal Institute & ADEME11 20.02.2007Name/Organisation etc. Stock UC of year N for non-saturated markets Sold appliances are obviously not only intended for replacement but also for first purchase, thereby increasing the equipment rate. The stock volume must therefore be calculated by estimating the ratio of sold appliances purchased for replacement and the ratio of first purchase. The average stock UC at the end of year N becomes: UCn = UCn-1 – Sn/Vn-1. (UCn-1 – UCsn) Where Sn is now the sales volume of year N and Vn-1 the stock volume at the end of year N-1. Stock modelling (2)

12. 20.02.2007Name/Organisation etc.1222nd, January 2008Wuppertal Institute & ADEME12 20.02.2007Name/Organisation etc. Considering rebound effect There could be a rebound effect in the purchase of bigger cold appliances, knowing they are energy efficient. However, no information is available (this could be the subject of a model survey in a set of countries). The same is the case whether consumers are washing more often because they know that they purchased an energy-efficient washing machine. One direct rebound effect could also be linked to the fact that it is easier for larger washing machines (6, 7 or more kg of capacity) to achieve the threshold of 0.17 kWh/kg. So an EEI measure to promote energy-efficient washing machines could accelerate the shift towards bigger machines.

13. 20.02.2007Name/Organisation etc.1322nd, January 2008Wuppertal Institute & ADEME13 20.02.2007Name/Organisation etc. Requirements for double counting White goods are already included in the EU energy labelling scheme, and there is a minimum energy performance standard for cold appliances. Furthermore, the EcoDesign Directive is expected to lead to a new minimum energy performance standards for cold and wet appliances, and a revision of the EU energy label. Therefore, double-couting with these measures is likely to be an issue. It will be smaller, if the method presented here is only applied to facilitating measures that promote A++ cold appliances and very energy-efficient washing machines. In any case, two general recommendations can be made:  Try to evaluate the effect of the whole package of facilitating measures that promote energy-efficient cold appliances and washing machines;  Try to cross-check the results with a top-down evaluation using regression analysis of the diffusion indicators for the overall market share of the A++ cold appliances and the very energy-efficient washing machines, and/or for the average UC of all appliances sold in a Member State market.

14. 20.02.2007Name/Organisation etc.1422nd, January 2008Wuppertal Institute & ADEME14 20.02.2007Name/Organisation etc. Requirements for free-rider effect Partial free-rider effect occurs for white appliances as a consequence of the self- sustained evolution of the market: higher demand for efficient appliances contributes to a larger and more competitive offer of best technologies. Free-rider effect is therefore due to those consumers who would have purchased the most efficient appliances, even if the measure were not implemented. A survey of participants will be needed to evaluate the share of free riders. As the free-rider effect and the multiplier effect work into the opposite direction, they partly cancel out each other. Furthermore, even with extensive surveys and evaluation efforts, the uncertainty for these effects can remain high. For EEI measures or measure packages that have limited gross annual energy savings (e.g., below 20 million kWh/year), it may therefore be considered to neglect both correction factors.
