1. The Importance of Monitoring, Verification and Enforcement for Lighting Products Peter Banwell, Environmental Protection Agency Energy Star Program Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic August 4, 2011 1

2. Need for MVE Overview: National Efficiency Programs are expanding Standards and Labeling Programs – Key Policies Monitoring, Verification and Enforcement (MVE) activities can complement standards and labeling This area tends to receive less attention than policy development 2

3. Benefits of MVE to Parties 3

4. MVE - USA Cadillac Large Truck Manufacturers 4 Fines Recall – 470,000 cars Fines, Spending $ 1.1 billion

5. MVE - Japan Japanese Refrigerators – Reported Energy vs Actual 5

6. Lighting Performance Specifications – Harmonization Benefits 6 Essential product performance requirements Measurement units Luminous efficiencyLumen/Watt Product LifetimeHours Lumen maintenance (at 3 points in life)Percentage@ hours Mercury contentMilligrams Operating voltageVolts to Volts Switching withstandNumber of switches over life

7. Comparative Labels 7

8. Endorsement Labels 8

9. MVE Levels / Costs 9

10. Lighting MVE – USA Example 10 Started in 2000 in response to – complaints – lack of verification testing

11. MVE Process – USA 11 Products identified by sponsors Samples purchased at retail Products sent (by mail) to certified lighting laboratory

12. Compact Fluorescent MVE Results Cycles 1-9 12 Rapid cycle stress test still challenging

13. Energy Star MVE 13 Industry (partner) funded Off the shelf retail sampling Certified lighting lab De-listing of poorly performing products

14. Lighting MVE – USA LED Example 14

15. LED MVE Results 15

16. MVE Results, Asia CFLs 2009-10 16

17. National Impacts - Monitoring 17 Lawrence Berkeley Labs, citing Bloomberg

18. MVE and Phase Out Programs Complement each other 18 With improved design and the implementation of MVE schemes, it is possible to: Measure energy efficiency actions, Assess the relevant impacts of program approaches. Curtail the high levels of non-compliance Increase the effectiveness of phase-out programs such as standards and/or labeling.

19. Recommendations 19 Regional cooperation –harmonization of lighting performance levels/MEPS Regional cooperation-laboratory testing/sharing Governments -plan ahead with MVE budgets and funding schemes Communications with industry is essential penalties should be real Consult with Enlighten Initiative for assistance in developing specific plans
