ENERGY STAR® Situation Analysis
Energy-Efficiency is in the spotlight: Focus on Verification of EE claims
2009 Consumer Reports Article Questions ENERGY STAR® Program
EPA & DOE Sign MOU on September 30, 2009 to better facilitate coordination between the two agencies.
Oct 2009 Inspector General Report: ENERGY STAR® Lacks Controls; Misleads Consumers
November 2009: EPA/DoE Commit to Complete Overhaul of Program;
www.intertek.com
New EPA & DOE Roles/Responsibilities
EPA
Serve as Brand Manager, handling Marketing, Outreach, Verification, and Setting Performance Levels
Maintain Master Database of ENERGY STAR approved products. Develop lists of new, potential products for ENERGY STAR consideration.
DOE
Support EPA, by increasing monitoring and verification of test procedure compliance and development of Federal test procedures and metrics.
Governing Council
Established to ensure clear roles and responsibilities for each agency in each program, and guide and coordinate annual program plans.. (Led by EPA Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation & DOE Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency.) www.intertek.com
Undercover Investigation Findings
March 2010: Inspector General Undercover Investigation … Bogus Products Easily Get ES
EPA “Qualified” 15 of 20 Fake Products Submitted by Government Accountability Office (GAO) from 4 Dummy Companies
Products ranged from a “gas-powered alarm clock” (the size of a portable gas generator) to a space heater posing as an air cleaner.
The “air cleaner” claimed 20% higher EE than the top “Qualified” ENERGY STAR® air cleaner.
Yes, that’s a feather duster and fly paper!
March 2010: EPA Suspends ES Program; Lab Reports Required (Interim)
2010: EPA Proposes “Lab” Qualification/Verification for ES Products
www.intertek.com
ENERGY STAR “Get Well Plan”
Enhanced Testing & Verification Program
•
QUALIFICATION TESTING PRIOR TO LABELING: Use of Accredited, ThirdParty Independent Labs for Initial Product Qualification Testing.
• •
LABORATORY QUALIFICATION GUIDELINES COMPREHENSIVE VERIFICATION TESTING: Ongoing Quality Assurance Testing for all Product Categories to be Supervised by a Third-Party Administrator.
Component changes to be scrutinized more closely (possible re-testing.)
Labs may be required to directly submit test reports to EPA.
More consistent approach regarding Laboratory Accreditation Requirements. www.intertek.com
How Will the Changes Benefit? Elevate & Maintain Overall Product Quality Levels Weed Out Products with Inferior Performance Characteristics Preserve the Integrity of the ENERGY STAR Brand Promote Consistent Approach Across All ENERGY STAR Programs Provide a “Level Playing Field” with Respect to the Use of Third-Party Labs; Minimize/Eliminate Manufacturer Self-Certification

ENERGY STAR LIGHTING PROGRAMS
Compact Fluorescent Lamps Residential Lighting Fixtures Solid-State Lighting Luminaires Integral LED Lamps
www.energystar.gov www.intertek.com
CFL Lamp Program
ENERGY STAR® Program Requirements for CFLs ENERGY STAR Eligibility Criteria Energy-Efficiency Criteria – Version 4.0 dated 3/7/08
KEY CHANGE Implemented Ongoing Quality Assurance Test Program which Intertek bid on contract and won at the end of 2008. - Samples for QA Testing selected by DOE Round # 1 QA Testing Conducted in 2009 Round # 2 QA Testing – Began March/April 2010
www.intertek.com
Residential Light Fixtures Program
ENERGY STAR® Program Requirements for Residential Light Fixtures – Version 4.2 (2008) - Program initiated in 2001. - Managed by EPA and ICF Consulting
Indoor & Outdoor Fluorescent Lighting Fixtures (Traditional & LED Light Engines) GU-24 Base Integrated Fluorescent Lamps Recessed Downlight Retrofit Kits Decorative LED Products 10W (6,000 hours at 45C) All models (lamp wattages, color temperatures, etc.) must be tested fully. No family groupings based on CCT. Decorative Lamps must have 15,000 Hr rated life, all others must have 25,000 hrs. 6,000 Hour Lumen Maintenance Test ~ 9 Months (Early Label Option Allowed at 3,000 Hours with In-Situ Temp Test Data.) Quality Assurance Verfication Test Program mirrors CFL Lamp QA Program. www.intertek.com
What Does the Future Hold? Lighting Integration Proposal Issued December 2009
GOAL:
Integrate the Existing Four Lighting Specifications into Two Technology Neutral Specifications:
ENERGY STAR Luminaires ENERGY STAR Lamps
www.intertek.com
Hot Off the Press!
JUST RELEASED MONDAY, May 20, 2010:
ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Luminaires Version 1.0, Draft 1
www.intertek.com
Draft Specification Key Changes
Intended to be Technology Neutral with respect to Key Criteria such as Luminous Efficacy and Color Performance. (Outgrowth from March 2010 Roundtable discussion between RPI Lighting Research Center, NEMA, and ALA.)
Separates Fixtures into Two Categories: Directional & Non-Directional Non-Directional Fixtures:
Aesthetics Valued More; Includes Decorative Styles. Evaluated on the basis of Source Photometry rather than Luminaire Photometry.
Directional Fixtures:
Aesthetics Valued Less; Under-Cabinet, Recessed Downlights, or Track Lights. Evaluated on the basis of Luminaire Photometry.
www.intertek.com
Draft Specification Key Changes
Efficacy: Evaluated by either Luminaire or Source Photometry depending on Luminaire Type. Non-Directional Luminaire performance requirement increased to 70 lumens per watt (40% increase over nominal efficacy values in existing RLF specification. Some performance requirements increased for certain types of Directional Luminaires.
CCT & CRI: All Luminaire Types: CCT < 4100K and CRI > 80.
Minimum Light Output Requirements: Imposed for all luminaire types.
Zonal Lumen Density: Maintained for Directional Luminaires
www.intertek.com
Draft Specification Key Changes
Lumen Maintenance :
Based on recommendations from upcoming IES TM-21 Technical Memorandum for SSL Luminaires. Favors requirements which test the entire luminaire including driver and components. Option 1 is based on Component Performance, while Option # 2 is based on Luminaire or LED Light Engine Performance.
Color Maintenance:
Evaluate color shift over the first 6,000 hours of operation for all indoor solid-state luminaires.
Source Run-Up Time:
Requirement proposed for all luminaires.
Toxics Reduction Requirements:
www.intertek.com
Based on European RoHS Directive proposed for all qualified luminaires.
Draft Specification Key Changes
Warranty Requirements:
Laboratory Accreditation:
Verification Testing Program:
Under development and will consolidate ENERGY STAR’s current verification programs utilized for CFL Lamps, RLF, and planned programs for SSL Luminaires and Integral LED Lamps.
Subsequent Drafts to Address:
Dimming, Measurement Tolerances, RoHS Documentation Requirements
www.intertek.com
Expanded to three (3) years for all luminaires. Requirements currently being developed throughout entire ENERGY STAR Program in support of enhanced testing and verification. Requirements to be developed and finalized in Summer 2010.
What About Other Luminaire Types?
Pole-Mounted Area & Roadway Luminaires Wall-Packs Parking Garage / Canopy Luminaires
Development of an ENERGY STAR Specification for these luminaire types is tentatively scheduled for September 2010.
www.intertek.com
Light Sources
Currently two specifications in place:
• •
Compact Fluorescent Lamps, Version 4.0 Integral LED Lamp, Version 1.0
Goal: merge two specifications into a single “source” program:
• • •
Will allow competition among technologies Will allow fair comparisons of different technologies for consumers Set technology neutral test procedures for energy efficiency and color
Anticipated First Draft of Light Source Specification – September 2010

Lighting Facts Label What is the SSL Quality Advocates Program? Manufacturers Pledge to: Provide clear and consistent labeling of essential performance, measured by industry standard, IESNA LM-79, Approved Method for the Electrical and Photometric Testing of Solid-State Lighting Devices and ANSI C78-377-2008, Specification for the Chromaticity of Solid State Lighting Products in the following categories: -
Lumen Output Luminaire Efficacy Power Input Correlated Color Temperature Color Rendering Index.
Make critical information readily available on product packaging or literature. www.intertek.com
ENERGY STAR vs. Lighting Facts What is the Difference?? Are Both Required?? Both Programs are Voluntary…..and manufacturers can join both. ENERGY STAR Sets a minimum performance level for qualifying products Designed to help consumers differentiate among products based on efficiency. ENERGY STAR label can only be applied to a limited group of qualifying LED lighting products for general illumination. SSL Quality Advocates Requires essential product information be disclosed to help luminaire manufacturers and others in the supply chain validate their product performance claims. Lighting Facts label can be applied to any LED product for general illumination purposes.
