Appliance Standards and Market Transformation
Dec 15, 2014
According to Harris, the energy-saving impacts of appliance standards are well understood. For almost 40 years, state and national standards have ushered major reductions in energy intensity for a variety of appliances – over 70 percent in the case of refrigerators.

Reducing Energy Use: The Role of Appliance Standards
EESI Briefing – April 15, 2010
What is the Alliance to Save Energy?
The Alliance to Save Energy promotes energy efficiency worldwide to achieve a healthier economy, a cleaner environment, and greater energy security.- Non-profit U.S. organization; operations world-wide- Led by Senator Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) and Peter Darbee,
President and CEO of Pacific Gas and Electric- Board includes 10 Members of Congress –Bi-Partisan- Also environmental, consumer, and trade associations heads,
state and local policy makers, corporate executives
Overview
Appliance standards & labeling in context
Status and prospects Future directions
Bottom Line: Standards on Track to Achieve Major Savings
DOE adding resources and staff capacity Two major standards in 2009-10 will save
consumers ~$43 billion over 30 years Negotiated industry agreements in 2009 could
double these savings (along with key innovations)
DOE has another 20+ rulemakings to come . . . But there’s more to do

DOE’s Challenge: A Heavy Lift for Standards and Test Methods
APPLIANCE ENERGY LABELS
Beyond Standards: FTC “Comparison” Energy Label
Appliance Labeling (II):Voluntary “Endorsement” Label
Should FTC Consider a “Categorical” Label ?
Consumers Need Help to Understand & Use Labels
Proposed FTC Light Bulb Label
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
Needed: Need “Multiple Metric” Standards (e.g., grid-connected)
Could this be the next peaking (or “spinning reserve”) power plant?
Needed: Efficiency Standards Specific to New Construction
Needed: Progressive Efficiency(Bigger Should be More Efficient)
RD&D as the Foundation for Next-Generation Standards
“Drop-in” Heat Pump Water Heater
Appliance Standards & Labeling Offer Global Savings Potential
