3 ENERGY STAR Clothes Washers Save 40% in energy and water compared to standard clothes washer Save $895 over the life of the product, enough to pay for the accompanying dryer Assumes: 11-year life and $81 per year in energy and water bill savings.

4 Water Savings and Non-energy Benefits Save 7,000 gallons of water per year, enough to fill 3 backyard swimming pools over the lifetime of unit. Payback period: 5 years All are front-loaders or advanced top-loaders Assumes: 11-year life, 392 cycles/year and $81 per year in energy and water bill savings.

5 Tools to Talk About Energy Efficiency Yearly operating cost Forces consumers to compare models Clothes Washers Criteria Per-cycle energy use Water use Energy used to heat water Energy used to remove remaining moisture Performance ENERGY STAR helps consumers quickly identify the most energy-efficient and innovative appliances on your sales floor.

6 Why No ENERGY STAR Dryers? Little variation in energy use between dryer models Same reason there is no ENERGY STAR program for ranges, range hoods, ovens, and microwaves

7 ENERGY STAR Refrigerators Save 20% in energy compared to standard refrigerators Save 40% in energy compared to models sold in 2001 Save 50% in energy compared to models sold before 1993 New qualified refrigerators use on average less energy than a 75- watt light bulb.

8 Refrigerators: Replace Old Models for Big Savings! $300 $250 $248 $200 $195 $150 $100 $50 $107 $74 $61 $0 1970s 1980s 1990s 2000s ENERGY STAR Annual Operating Cost Save 50% compared to an older model made before 1993!

9 ENERGY STAR Room Air Conditioners Save 10% in energy compared to standard RACs Save $135 over the life of the product Payback period: 4-7 years Reduced noise Assumes: 11-year life

10 ENERGY STAR Dehumidifiers Save 10-20% in energy compared to standard dehumidifiers Save more than $300 over the life of the product Reduced noise Assumes: 10-year life

11 Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) Save $62 over life of each bulb Cut energy consumption by 75%! 7-year life compared to 11- month incandescent Comparable light quality to incandescent bulbs Assumes: 8,000-hour life, compares a 20 watt CFL to a 75-watt incandescent

12 New Water Heaters Program Effective Date: January 6, 2009 Product Classes: Gas Storage Whole-home Gas Tankless Gas Condensing Heat Pump Water Heater Solar Water Heater

13 Residential Water Heaters DOE s newest ENERGY STAR program Takes effect January 1, 2009 Technologies included High-Efficiency Gas Storage Heat Pump Whole-Home Tankless Gas Condensing Solar Criteria address energy efficiency, performance, safety, and reliability

14 Technologies Gas Condensing Heat Pump Water Heater HE Gas Storage Solar Gas Tankless

15 Technologies Technology HE Gas Storage Gas Tankless Gas Condensing Heat Pump Solar (electric auxiliary) Solar (gas auxiliary) Minimum Efficiency 0.62 EF 0.82 EF 0.8 EF 2.0 EF 0.5 SF 0.5 SF Savings ~7.5% or 19 therm/yr ~30% or 78 therm/yr ~30% or 74 therm/yr ~55% or 2,660 kwh/yr ~50% or 2,430 kwh/yr ~50% or 131 therm/yr Payback ~2.5 years ~ years ~4-9 years ~3 years ~10+ years ~13+ years

16 Tankless Water Heaters Tankless water heaters cost approximately 30 percent less to operate. Many provide 7-8 gallons per minute of hot water. Expected life span: 20 years Expected lifetime of conventional water heaters: 10+

17 Solar Water Heaters Cost efficient in appropriate applications Cost efficiency is dependent upon climate characteristics (sunshine) Ideal for new construction and major remodeling jobs Service infrastructure is typically associated with incentive programs: 8,500-12,000 shipments per year, regionally associated with incentive programs
