What to look for: What to look for ENERGY STAR Label FEMP’s Purchasing Specifications Low Standby Power

ENERGY STAR: ENERGY STAR Federal government’s symbol for energy efficiency National program Easy to recognize

ENERGY STAR: ENERGY STAR Establishes performance guidelines Sets quality requirements Forms partnerships with manufacturers Requires random testing Promotes “brand”

ENERGY STAR: ENERGY STAR Verify label on product, packaging or in owner’s manual Check product lists on Web site at: www.energystar.gov/products

FEMP Purchasing Specifications: FEMP Purchasing Specifications Cover 45 products Designate performance levels List Federal Supply Sources Calculate cost effectiveness Include installation and operating tips

Specifications: Which Products?: Specifications: Which Products? Significant energy use Large volume government purchasing Potential energy/cost savings Widely accepted energy testing/rating method Product efficiency data available Multiple suppliers

Executive Order 13221: Executive Order 13221 “Each agency, when it purchases commercially available, off-the-shelf products that use external standby power devices, or that contain an internal standby power function, shall purchase products that use no more than one watt in their standby power consuming mode. If such products are not available, agencies shall purchase products with the lowest standby power wattage while in their standby power consuming mode.”

Standby Power: Standby Power What is it? The electricity used when a device is turned off or not performing its primary purpose.

Standby Power: Standby Power What causes high standby power? Remote controls Continuous digital displays Battery chargers Soft-touch keypads

Lowering Standby Power: Lowering Standby Power Why is this an issue? Number of devices which use standby power is growing rapidly Each device consumes 1 to 40 watts Estimated at 70 watts per home Accounts for 600 kWh/year or 3% of a household’s electricity use

Low Standby Power: Low Standby Power Standby Power Data Center www.eere.energy.gov/femp/procurement/standby_power Lists complying products Identifies standby power levels Some ENERGY STAR labeled products have low standby power requirements

Standby Power Data Center: Standby Power Data Center

When to Buy EE Products: When to Buy EE Products Direct Purchases Specifications Contracts

Direct Purchases: Direct Purchases POs with commercial sources GSA Multiple Award Schedules Procurement cards Online through federal supply sources (GSAAdvantage, DoD Emall)

Specifications: Specifications Guide and master specifications DoD UFGS AIA MasterSpec Project specifications New construction Renovations

Environmental Impacts: Environmental Impacts “The production and use of energy causes more environmental damage than any other human activity.” Council on Environmental Quality 1992 US federal government is the largest consumer of energy in the world

Market Leadership: Market Leadership Federal government spends over $4 billion per year on energy for buildings Spends additional $10 to $20 billion per year on energy-using products Requires purchasing efficient products to: Increase market presence Lower prices Lead by example

Conclusion: Conclusion Federal policies require products purchased to be energy efficient Of these, specify low standby power models Use FEMP’s Specifications and ENERGY STAR label to identify products Make efficiency the norm!
