Presentation Transcript

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

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Summary of Proposals Received Initial Cost Estimate (USD) $90,000 Lead Organization / Country Resource Contributions Proposed Project Center for Industrial Energy Efficiency (China) Study on harmonization of energy efficiency standards and 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) International Copper Association: $20,000 and in-kind staff support $70,000 Australian DCCEE: $40,000 and in-kind staff support

6. 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

7. Motors S&L Harmonization Proposed Project Schedule: Timeline Activity February May 2012 Survey on S&L programs for motors April July 2012 Draft harmonized test methods and efficiency level definitions August September 2012 Formulate strategy for regional harmonization of S&L programs for motors in SEAD and APEC economies Develop handbook for SEAD and APEC economies to advance development and alignment of S&L programs for motors October November 2012

8. Motors S&L Harmonization Proposed Funding Requirements: Estimated Cost (USD) $30,000 Activity Survey on S&L programs for motors $40,000 Draft harmonized test methods and efficiency level definitions $15,000 Formulate strategy for regional harmonization of S&L programs for motors in SEAD and APEC economies Develop handbook for SEAD and APEC economies to advance development and alignment of S&L programs for motors $5,000 $90,000 Total Estimated Budget

9. 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

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

11. Heat Pump Water Heaters Proposed Funding Requirements Estimated Cost (USD) $30,000 Activity 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 in- kind contributions

12. 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

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

14. Timeline Date Activity 12 December 2011 Distributed project proposal solicitation to SEAD and APEC economies and partners 13 January 2012 Project proposals submitted to CLASP February March 2012 Refine proposals with proposal leads Confirm resource contribution commitments Identify technical experts and additional resource needs Select projects for implementation Prepare detailed statements of work and budgets Initiate selected projects March April 2012 April June 2012
