22 April 2004Energy Star Conference8 of 27 Energy outlook 2010 for households office equipment = fastest riser ! Office equipment at home is fastest riser EU-15 electricity consumption - Business as usual / with measures (TWh/year)

22 April 2004Energy Star Conference9 of 27 Energy outlook 2010 for all sectors Electricity consumption office equipment (TWh/yr) ResidentialTertiaryIndustrial Total electricity (TWh/yr) Total CO 2 emission (MTon/yr) BaU with measures savings potential “with measures” is 50% or more ! Business-as-Usual (BaU) vs ‘with measures’

22 April 2004Energy Star Conference10 of 27 The EU ENERGY STAR Market EU market almost half (44%) global ENERGY STAR market (# of inhabitants) EU Market size: 160 billion euro (1/3 of total) Prospects for growth (# PC’s per 100 households) EU-25 USA/Can Aus/NZ Jap/Tw

22 April 2004Energy Star Conference11 of 27 The challenge Can we realize up to 50% savings without compromising performance?

22 April 2004Energy Star Conference12 of 27 Savings potential - energy consumption Standby (Watt)On-mode (Watt) Most efficient qualified equipment Least efficient qualified equipment Example: Electricity consumption desktop PC’s in ENERGY STAR Database Database shows differences within range of ENERGY STAR qualified office equipment
