THE PHILIPPINE EXPERIENCE : Current Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS), Energy Labeling Programs and Future Plans for Room Airconditioners and Household RefrigeratorsPART I.Introduction PART II.PART III.Labeling ProgramOutline of PresentationFuture Plans Program DescriptionA joint program of the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) which requires appliances and lighting products to meet prescribed minimum energy efficiency levels and to carry an energy label at the point of sale. Brief History of the Program1979 Second oil crisis1980 Energy Conservation Law (expired in 1990)July 1992 Voluntary labeling for RACs. Oct.1993 Mandatory Labeling for RACsJune 1994 Full implementation for all sizes of window type RAC1999 Mandatory Labeling for refrigerators2000 Inclusion of split type RAC up to 36,000 kJ/h capacity 2003 Launching of the mandatory CFL energy label2010 CFLs (MEPS), LFL (MEPS/Label), ballast, circular fluorescent lamps

OBJECTIVES OF THE PHILIPPINE ENERGY EFFICIENCY STANDARDS AND LABELING PROGRAM Eliminate the least efficient household appliances and lighting products in the local market Reduce monthly electricity bill to end-user or consumers. Protection from mislabelling

Encourage manufacturers to improve their product efficiency to make them competitive in both local and international markets Reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power generation Program Development and Implementation Process Standards development the technical committee approachGovernmentAcademe Technical CommitteeProfessionalOrganization Manufacturers TradeOrganization Consumer Group

Cooling Capacity Power InputEER = Tested value should not be less than 90% of rated. Power Input - amount of energy, in watt, when an air-conditioner runs at its rated cooling capacity.Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) - Expressed in kJ/W-h. Should not be less than minimum requirement.Cooling Capacity - the amount of heat, in kJ/hr, that an air conditioner can remove from an enclosed space. Measured value should not be more than 110% of rated. Sampling - BPS does the random sampling at manufacturers factory or importers warehouse.- One (1) sample per generic model- Advance / engineering sample is acceptable- One year validity of test report. ROOM AIR-CONDITIONERSTesting - LATL is the official testing laboratory. - Witness testing at BPS-recognized - manufacturers laboratory with DOE and DTI approval - Inter-laboratory testing with industry test facility- Calorimeter and air-enthalpy methodsUPCOMING REVISIONS TO MEPS AND ENERGY LABEL DESIGN FOR AIR CONDITIONERSOctober 1993 - Mandatory LabelingJune 1994 - Full implementation for all sizes of window type RAC1997 - Increased Minimum Level of EER- specified the MEPS from 1995 to 20021998 - adopted ISO 5151:1994 superceded ISO R8592000 - inclusion of mini-split type RAC up to 36,000 kJ/h capacityJune 2004 TC 30 started the deliberation of CDPNS 396-1:xxxx2007- BPS/TC-30 finally adopted PNS 396-1:2007- cancelled and replaced PNS 396-1:19982010 Stakeholders MeetingsMay 2011 Approved the Implementing Guidelines - Awaiting for the promulgation from DTI-BPS

Revised Implementing Guidelines for PNS 396 Part 1, Series of 2007

The following documents shall be deemed to form an integral part of the Implementing Guidelines.

Annex A: Specific Guidelines for the Conduct of TestAnnex B: Performance RequirementsAnnex C: Determination of EER Classification

Guidelines for the Validation of the Energy Labels will also be discussed according to Clause 10 of the IG.Revised Implementing Guidelines for PNS 396 Part 1, Series of 2007PERFORMANCE (Annex B)B.1Minimum Energy Performance StandardB.1.1Air conditioners shall have measured EER not lower than:9.6 kJ/W-h, for capacity below 12,000 kJ/h, and9.1 kJ/W-h, for capacity 12,000 kJ/h and above.Note:Measured EER shall be rounded-off to the nearest 0.1 KJ/Wh. The rules of rounding- off shall be followed.MEPS shall be categorized based on the rated cooling capacity.Verdict shall be based on the rounded-off value. MEPS shall be subjected for review and upgrading every three (3) years or earlier as necessary.

Revised Implementing Guidelines for PNS 396 Part 1, Series of 2007PERFORMANCE (Annex B)B.2TolerancesB.2.1 The measured cooling capacity shall not be less than 95 percent of the rated cooling capacity of the test sample. B.2.2 The measured EER shall not be less than 95 percent of the rated EER of the test sample.Note: Measured percentage value shall be rounded- off to the nearest 1.0%. The rules of rounding- off shall be followed.Verdict shall be based on the rounded- off value.

Freezer volume is adjusted by factor K, depending on its temperature rating.Energy Consumption - amount of energy consumed by the refrigerator/freezer expressed in kWh per 24 hour. Measured value should not be less than 97% of rated. Measured value should not be greater than 115% of rated.32 Frozen Food Cmpt Temp 32 - Fresh Food Cmpt TempK =Adjustment Factor, KAdjusted Volume = Fresh Food Cmpt Vol + K (Frozen Food Cmpt Vol)With this adjustment factor, units with colder or bigger freezer compartment will have higher EEF compared to unit with same energy consumption and same total storage volume. Note: Actual compartment temperatures are used Philippine Energy Efficiency Project (PEEP) The Philippine Energy Efficiency Project (PEEP) is a project being implemented by the Philippine Department of Energy (DOE) supported by a loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB). It includes a demonstration of the societal benefits of the implementation of lighting energy efficiency programs in the commercial, residential and public sectors as well as the expansion of the appliance program and establishment of a Lamp Waste Management Facility.Expansion of PHL EES&L ProgramRefrigerating Appliances Larger sizes of refrigerators (initially up to 12 cu ft.)
