Tracking Energy Savings from the Energy Star % Televisions Program By Christina Steinhoff

Outline  Program Background  Energy Savings Rate Calculation for 2009

 Maximum On Power Mode Energy Consumption  Standby  Must not exceed 1 watt in standby mode  User Information Requirement Background: Energy Star % Definition Energy Star 3.0 Specifications (Effective Nov. 1, 2008) Area < 680 in 2 PMax = 0.200*A in 2 ≤ Area < 1045 in 2 ≤ Area PMax = 0.240*A + 27 Area ≥1045 in 2 PMax = 0.156*A Example Area= inches squared Energy Star 3.0 =.2* =119 watts Energy Star %= 84 watts (30% reduction) Note: Testing is based on the international test procedure IEC 62087, tested at default setting. The test accounts for on supply voltage (115v), ambient temperature and humidity.

Background: Energy Star % Definition

Background: NEEA Energy Star Televisions Tracking System  The 2009 opt-in program provided retailers incentives for sales of Energy Star % televisions.  Energy Solutions tracks the sales as well as other details.  Model number  Energy consumption  Tier (Energy Star 3.0 Plus 30%, Energy Star 4.0, Energy Star 5.0)  Zip Code of retail location  Screen size  The tracking system places the sales in seven buckets based on the screen size. Source: Energy Solutions. Feb NEEA Electronic Source Data for Sept.-Dec

Baseline Period  NEEA measures savings from market intervention.  Savings come from the efficient option over the inefficient option.  Non-qualifying Energy Consumption is the consumption of televisions with less than Energy Star % efficiency in Q  Comes from QDI Strategies and Energy Solutions  Data source: NPD Group, Consumer Electronics Association, QDI Strategies’ tracking of the Business and Consumer Electronics program; and the Energy Star Products List. Background: Measuring Energy Savings Discussions with Retailers Incentivized Units Sold (Sept.-Dec.) Q1 2009Q2 2009Q3 2009Q Energy Savings by Size Category= Non Qualifying Unit Energy Consumption Prior to the Program – Qualifying Unit Energy Consumption

Results: Savings Rates  NEEA will apply these saving rates to its estimate of total Energy % television sales by size category in the region.  The weighted average savings rate for the incentivized units is 114 kWh/television.  This rate is highly dependent on the screen size. Note: The Energy % average energy consumption comes from 112,477 observations. The calculation measures savings from on power mode (5.2 hours/day for days per year)

Future Work  In 2010, we will be tracking the savings for Energy Star 4.0 and Energy Star 5.0.  Using the same seven screen size categories.
