ENERGY STAR Update Steve Ryan, U.S. EPA Program Manager, ENERGY STAR Labeled Roof Products September 22, 2011
ENERGY STAR Started in 1992;voluntary program GOAL: Reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through large winwin-win opportunities with today s energy efficient technologies and practices. Achieve 30% savings possible in many buildings, homes, and facilities Provide credible information to buyers Work with the marketplace to capitalize on motivations of individual actors CO2 Emissions (MMTCO2) Projected GHG Emissions from Key Sectors through 2030 3500 Buildings 3000 Industry Transportation 2500 2000 1500 1000 500 AEO (2008) 0 Source: AEO 2008 2005 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2

ENERGY STAR is one of the most influential labels in the marketplace 10
2011 Program Priorities Addressing new challenges and opportunities Third-party certification across all product types Verification program Maintaining strong brand is priority More frequent reviews / updates to ENERGY STAR criteria Appliances to be reviewed at a minimum every 3 years OR when market share for ENERGY STAR qualifying products reaches about 35% Consumer electronics will be updated about every 2 years, including the use of out-year criteria that anticipate improved efficiency based on market trends Rolling out Top Tier Engage with consumers via social media campaigns Reinforce international partnerships 11
More Frequent Spec Revisions 25 total specification updates underway in 2011 growing market share new federal standards new efficiency opportunities opportunity to expand coverage 21 expected to be completed in 2011 Electronics/IT: Computers, Displays, Imaging, Servers, TVs, Chargers Appliances: Dishwasher, Refrig, Room AC, Dehum, Water Heaters HVAC: Furnaces, Boilers Lighting: Lamps CFS: Icemakers, Dishwashers, Fryers, Ovens 12
2011-2012 New Product Efforts Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS): Home to Data Center Data Center Storage Small Network Equipment Outdoor Luminaires Climate Controls Lab-grade Refrigerators and Freezers Commercial Food Service Pre-rinse Spray Valves Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners Pool and Sump Pumps 13
Top Tier Most Efficient Goal Drive more energy efficient products into the market more quickly. Challenge Determine the best strategy for identifying the top, few, most energy efficient products for early adopters without confusing consumers or harming the ENERGY STAR brand. Retail driven products (roofs will not be part) 14
Product covered in 2011 Clothes Washers Air source heat pumps Central Air Conditioners Furnaces Geothermal Heat Pumps Refrigerator-Freezers Televisions 15
Change to third party certification Through over 19 years of shared effort, EPA and partners have built something of real value the ENERGY STAR brand Maintaining the value of this brand requires ensuring products labeled with the ENERGY STAR deliver on their promise to the consumer Recent developments: Increased scrutiny of voluntary programs Inspector General Reports at EPA and DOE Government Accountability Office ENERGY STAR Investigation 16
Entities Involved U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Manages ENERGY STAR program Partners: Seek product qualification Laboratories ( Labs ): Test products Certification Bodies ( CBs ): Provide thirdparty certification of test results Accreditation Bodies ( ABs ): Provide thirdparty assurance of Lab and CB competencies 17
Enhanced Qualification and Verification Third Party Certification of ENERGY STAR products effective January 1, 2011 Before a product can be labeled with the ENERGY STAR, performance must be certified by an EPA-recognized thirdparty based on testing in an EPA-recognized lab ENERGY STAR manufacturers must participate in verification testing programs run by the Certification Bodies (CBs). EPA offering technical assistance to CBs to ensure a smooth transition for certifying products As hoped, market response in terms of labs and certifiers stepping up to provide the necessary services has been tremendous. 18
Qualification Flowchart Laboratory: Accredited ENERGY STAR Manufacturing Partner Certification Body (CB) EPA ENERGY STAR Laboratory: CB Witnessed/ Supervised 19
Product Re-testing Three types: Verification Testing Challenge Testing Significant Changes* *Retesting in the case of significant changes to a given qualified model In case of failure to meet program requirements, EPA disqualifies and delists model and/or requires corrective and preventive measures on the part of the Partner 20
Product Re-testing: Relationship Between Parties Involved EPA Partner Certification Body Laboratory Brings Challenges Notifies CB in the event of changes that could affect performance Administers Verification Testing Administers Challenge Testing Re-evaluates products in the event of changes that could affect performance 3 rd -party Tests selected products without witness 1 st -party Tests selected products with witness Disqualifies products Advises CB to disallow recertification of disqualified products Cooperates with testing procedures and outcomes Shares testing results with EPA and Partner Handles Partner appeals 21
Product Re-testing: Verification Testing Verification testing ensures models meet ENERGY STAR requirements postqualification U.S. Department of Energy initiated verification testing of ENERGY STAR qualified models in 2010 1 2 3 10% of representative models certified by each CB are selected for testing by CB, with input from EPA and possibly other third parties. Partner funds verification testing, which will be off-the-shelf third-party testing, or off-the-line first-party testing witnessed by a third party. CB has units tested; shares results and resolution of any discrepancies with EPA. 22
Product Re-testing: Verification Testing (cont.) 10% minimum of all models qualified per CB Models derived from representative models are subject to verification testing, but no more than one model per family may be selected EXAMPLE: Assume 35 certified models across ten families No more than one model per family may be selected 10% of 10 models = minimum of 1 model to be tested 23

Questions / Comments Received from RCMA Members 1. Where is the Energy Star program on accelerating new products and new producers into the marketplace with faster product approvals? 2. What is the budget of the roofing program and how many are committed as full time employees to roofing? Has this budget gone up or down and by what percentage from 2010 v 2011. 3. Why do some member who do not belong to CRRC now have to pay a fee to remain in the Energy Star program? 4. Does ES work with any community based groups who sell, apply or promote reflective roof coatings? How can RCMA assist? 5. Why does the DOE Roof Calc continue to use, I believe 2001, energy costs and when will it be changed? 6. What portion of the President s Job Plan include roofing and to what extent? He did mention roofs within 5 minutes of the opening of his address 28
