Overview of Draft 2 (Version 4.0) ENERGY STAR Specification for Computer Monitors Craig Hershberg US EPA

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 Q 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=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

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 Units That Meet All 3 Modes Monitor TypeNumberTotalPercent CRT84717 LCD PDP010 Don’t Meet44-- Total87--

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=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 31% of all LCDs qualify now

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 billion kWh Dollars: approximately $14 billion CO 2 : 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 $ 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.

26 Timeline and Version 4.0 Effective Dates

27 August 12, 2003: Deadline for feedback 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 Timeline and Proposed Effective Dates for Version 4.0 Specification {1}

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

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
