• ENERGY STAR Monitor Industry Meeting
• April 29, 2002
• San Francisco, CA
• Craig Hershberg
• US EPA

Why Are We Here?

• Maintain open lines of communication to arrive at
  a challenging and fair specification
• Very interested in your input as you have
  in-depth product and market knowledge
• Present EPAs program framework and convey
  flexibility in terms of efficiency levels based
  on manufacturer data

3
Meeting Goals

• Present Draft 1 Monitor Specification
• Solicit industry feedback on all aspects of the
  specification and partner commitments
• Initiate timeline for developing final
  specification

4
Roles and Responsibilities

• TCO Development Presentations this afternoon and
  tomorrow
• Logistical simplicity
• Harmonization over the long term
• NRDC and other interested parties Provided
  recommendations to EPA
• Elements included in draft specification
• Co-presenters with EPA in todays agenda

5
ENERGY STAR

• Voluntary partnership with EPA and DOE
• Easily identifies energy-efficient products for
  home and office
• Representing approx. top 25 in their category
  for energy efficiency
• One label at the national level for over 30
  products
• Reduces air pollution and saves money
• Turn-key solution
• International presence

6
Computer Monitor

• A commercially available electronic product with
  a display screen and its associated electronics
  encased in a single housing that is capable of
  displaying output information from a computer via
  one or more inputs, such as VGA, DVI, and/or IEEE
  1394.
• CRT, LCD, or other display device
• No devices or an upstream cord connected to
  hub/port when monitor is being tested
• Attempted to differentiate TVs and monitors based
  on how they are marketed and sold

7
The Big Picture

• Savings in 2010 under proposed monitor
  specifications
• Energy 26 billion kWh
• Energy Bill (in 2001 ) 1.8 billion
• Carbon 3.5 MMT
• Equivalent to 29 billion lbs of CO2 not emitted
  into air
• Equals yearly emissions of approx. 2.5 million
  cars
• Notes (1) Savings include active, sleep, and
  off, and (2) Assumes CRTs are replaced with a mix
  of ENERGY STAR qualified LCDs and CRTs, with
  increases in market penetration going to LCDs

8
Timeline Key Proposed Dates
9
European Union

• Signed agreement between EPA and EU to coordinate
  OE labeling
• Work together to develop new or revised
  specifications covered by agreement
• EPA to present draft monitor specifications to EU
  in late May in Nice, France
• EPA would like initial industry feedback in 3
  weeks to include in EU presentation

10
Why Active Power?

• Feasible without negatively affecting product
  performance in fact, some manufacturers are
  already meeting the proposed specifications
• Limited additional energy savings potential in
  sleep and off modes
• Not dependent on enabling rates
• Allows a variety of technologies (e.g., CRT and
  LCD) to qualify

11
Recognizing LCDs

• Highlight a new technology in the marketplace
• Additional benefits
• Space
• Heat
• Power consumption
• Useful life
• Installation
• Disposal

12
Key Stakeholders

• Panel Manufacturers
• Final Assemblers/Resellers
• European and Asian Labeling Programs
• Retailers
• Market Transformation Community (Utilities,
  Regional Groups, and Environmental Organizations)

13
Mayo Clinic Case Study

• More and more businesses, ranging from hospitals
  to financial institutions, are making the switch
  to LCD monitors.
• Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, MN, started making the
  switch to LCDs in 1996.
• As of January 2002, they have over 7,900 LCD
  monitors in use around the hospital.

14
Annual Savings for Mayo Clinic

• For each 15 LCD monitor that replaced a 17 CRT
  monitor, the Clinic saved over 40 in energy
  bills.
• This amounts to a total savings of over 321,135
  annually.
