The Importance of Monitoring, Verification and Enforcement for Lighting Products
Peter Banwell, Environmental Protection AgencyEnergy Star Program

1
Need for MVEOverview:
• National Efficiency Programs are expanding
• Standards and Labeling Programs – Key Policies
• Monitoring, Verification and Enforcement (MVE) activities can complement standards and labeling
• This area tends to receive less attention than policy development
2
Benefits of MVE to Parties
3
MVE - USA• Cadillac• Large Truck Manufacturers
4
• Fines Recall – 470,000 cars • Fines, Spending $ 1.1 billion
MVE - JapanJapanese Refrigerators – Reported Energy vs Actual
5
Lighting Performance Specifications – Harmonization Benefits
6
Essential product performance requirements
Measurement units
Luminous efficiency Lumen/Watt

Lighting MVE – USA Example
10
Started in 2000 in response to– complaints – lack of verification
testing
MVE Process – USA
11
• Products identified by sponsors
• Samples purchased at retail
• Products sent (by mail) to certified lighting laboratory

•Industry (partner) funded•Off the shelf retail sampling•Certified lighting lab•De-listing of poorly performing products

MVE and Phase Out Programs Complement each other
18
With improved design and the implementation of MVE schemes, it is possible to:
• Measure energy efficiency actions,
• Assess the relevant impacts of program approaches.
• Curtail the high levels of non-compliance
• Increase the effectiveness of phase-out programs such as standards and/or labeling.
Recommendations
19
• Regional cooperation –harmonization of lighting performance levels/MEPS
• Regional cooperation-laboratory testing/sharing
• Governments -plan ahead with MVE budgets and funding schemes
• Communications with industry is essential
• “penalties” should be real
