SEADfunded APECCAST Project Proposal Solicitation Update 39 th

SEAD-funded APEC-CAST Project Proposal Solicitation Update 39 th Meeting of the APEC Expert Group on Energy Efficiency & Conservation 28 February 2012 Anna Lising Senior Associate Collaborative Labeling and Appliance Standards Program (CLASP)

APEC-CAST Primary objectives: • Promote harmonized test procedures • Support development of aligned energy efficiency standards and labels (S&L) in APEC economies • Fund one or more projects each year over a 5 year period.

Review of Proposal Solicitation Objective: Identify projects that can be launched in early 2012 and will advance S&L development in APEC economies. Collaboration between EGEE&C and SEAD: • SEAD-funded APEC-CAST initiative • Leverage technical expertise provided through the SEAD international technical collaborations Administrator: The Collaborative Labeling and Appliance Standards Program (CLASP), as the SEAD Operating Agent.

Review of Proposal Solicitation Projects may include: • Assessments of existing global standards, labels, and test methods; • Assessments of global harmonization potential; • Laboratory assessments via round robin testing; or • Other activities as needed to best support S&L activities for APEC priority products.

Summary of Proposals Received Proposed Project Lead Organization / Country Resource Contributions Center for Industrial Study on harmonization of energy efficiency standards and Energy Efficiency (China) labeling programs for motors Evaluation and initial draft of harmonized test methods and level definitions for heat pump water heaters KEMCO (Korea) and the Australian Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency (DCCEE) Initial Cost Estimate (USD) $90, 000 International Copper Association: $20, 000 and in-kind staff support Australian DCCEE: $40, 000 and in-kind staff support $70, 000

Project Proposal Details Study of S&L harmonization for motors: • In-depth survey on S&L programs for motors and regional and sub-regional harmonization efforts • Draft harmonized test methods and efficiency level definitions • Formulate strategy for regional harmonization and/or mutual recognition of S&L programs for motors in SEAD and APEC member economies • Develop handbook for SEAD and APEC economies to advance the development and alignment of S&L programs for motors

Project Proposal Details Harmonized test methods & level definitions for heat pump water heaters: • Technical analysis of regional, national, and international test methods • Draft harmonized test methods and efficiency levels

Heat Pump Water Heaters Proposed Project Schedule: Timeline February – April 2012 April – September 2012 Activity Technical analysis of test methods Draft harmonized test methods and efficiency level definitions

Heat Pump Water Heaters Proposed Funding Requirements Estimated Cost (USD) Activity $30, 000 Technical analysis of test methods $40, 000 Draft harmonized test methods and efficiency level definitions $70, 000 Total Estimated Budget Proposed contributions from the Australian DCCEE and the International Copper Association: $60, 000 USD plus inkind contributions

Next Steps Refine proposals: • Prepare detailed statements of work and budget estimates • Confirm co-funding and in-kind resource commitments • Identify candidate technical experts and other resources to implement projects Additional Opportunities for APEC CAST: • Shared interest between APEC EGEE&C and SEAD on computers and monitors and televisions, which are priority product categories for APEC CAST • Expand collaboration by co-sponsoring and/or co-funding priority SEAD project proposals that also meet APEC CAST objectives

Additional APEC-CAST Opportunities Proposed Project Lead Organization / Country Resource Contributions International test standards toolkit for computers Australia In-kind technical support Assess key issues in addressing network-connected modes for televisions to enable test procedure and standards harmonization SEAD Network Standby Endorsed by SEAD Collaboration Televisions (Australia) Collaboration International harmonization of television test methods SEAD Televisions Collaboration (Australia) Initial Cost Estimate (USD) $20, 000 $60, 000 $25, 000 from US EPA for technical support SEAD Distribution Harmonized test methods and level definitions for distribution Transformers Collaboration (Canada transformers Australia: In-kind technical support $25, 000 Endorsed by Australia, Japan, and the UK $90, 000 and US) SEAD member countries: in-kind staff support
