European Lamp Companies Federation (ELC)

collectively employ over 50,000 people in Europe

annual turnover in Europe of €5 billion www.elcfed.org

European Luminaires and Ballasts Industry (CELMA)

18 National Manufacturers Associations for Luminaires and Electrotechnical Components for Luminaires in 13 EU countries

Represents more than 1000 companies (majority of small and medium-sized companies)

Directly employs more than 60 000 people in Europe

Generate over 12 billion Euro annually

ELC & CELMA, together in RoMS

ELC & CELMA work together in RoMS (Roll-Out Member States), the first joint lighting industry national outreach programme on energy efficiency

Currently, one of few such joint industry programmes in Europe

Currently operating actively in 12 countries and soon operating in more European countries

January 2008

Working together to..

Support European governments to develop policy and other measures that deliver significant CO2 emission reductions through increasing the uptake of energy efficient lighting.

Help governments to meet their National and European targets in a quick, practical and cost effective way.

Help to identify the barriers to change and assist end users to overcome these barriers.

Work with a range of stakeholders (our value chain, NGOs, retailers etc) to develop and communicate user friendly information to end consumers on how to achieve savings through energy efficient lighting technology.

WHY WE NEED TO ACHIEVE ENERGY EFFICIENT

LIGHTING

January 2008

Lighting – a significant consumer of electricity

“Lighting consumes 14% of all electricity consumption within the EU and 19% of global electricity consumption”.

International Energy Agency

“Lighting requires as much electricity as is produced by all gas-fired generation and 15% more than produced by either hydro or nuclear power”.Light’s Labour’s Lost – Policies for Energy-efficient

Lighting. IEA

January 2008

The current pictureOver 60% of all Europe’s lighting = inefficient

1/3 of street lighting in Europe still based on old, outdated and inefficient technology current switch over rate is 3% per year - meaning it will take another

generation to upgrade average life-time of lighting installation = 40 years new technology available, more energy efficient and better quality light

More than 75% of office lighting systems still inefficient current switch over rate is 7% per year average life-time of lighting installation = 25 years huge differences in efficiency between old and new systems (energy

saving potential 30-80%)

Approximately 85% of lamps currently in EU homes are energy inefficient.

THE ELC & CELMA JOINT POSITION ON LIGHTING

January 2008

The ELC & CELMA response

3 key issues:

1. EU-wide Product Standards

2. National measures to encourage renovation of existing lighting installations

3. EU-wide Lighting Design Legislation to improve light quality as well as the energy efficiency of the lighting installation

January 2008

Overview

Through its joint position, ELC and CELMA aim to ensure a quick and effective follow-up to the EU’s public commitments from March 2007 on developing a low carbon economy, in particular through a 20% increase in energy efficiency by 2020.

Lighting can contribute via…

EU-wide product standards

Renovation of existing installations

EU-wide lighting installation design criteria

January 2008

Issue 1: Product standards (I)

Goal: development of Implementing Measures under the EuP Directive

Timing: this is the first and quickest way to secure significant energy and CO2 savings for new lighting products placed in the EU market

Labelling: CE-marking, sole means of identification!

January 2008

Issue 1: Product standards (II)

Scope: IM’s should be formulated independentlyformulated independently for each of the lighting

EuP’s (lamps, ballasts, optical systems of luminaires and control systems - standby power)

Support for selected product technology-based categoriestechnology-based categories and application-independentapplication-independent

IM’s should contain generic energy efficiency criteriageneric energy efficiency criteria for the specific product categories listed in the Eco-profiles tables provided by ELC and CELMA, independent of the application independent of the application areaarea the products identified by the Commission will be removed from the total market!

Luminaire optical part tables should not lead to additional should not lead to additional requirementsrequirements for lamp categories for which no Eco-profiles have been defined

January 2008

Issue 2: Renovation of existing installations

Goal: adoption of complementary national legislation that encourage the renovation of existing low performing installations, starting with street and office lighting

nEEAPs under the ESD, a tool to achieve this!

January 2008

Issue 3: EU-wide Lighting Design Legislation

Goal: development of harmonized EU-wide energy saving and performance criteria for lighting installations, through authority certification of lighting designs, based on European Legislation

Such rules: Would ensure the improvement of light quality whilst achieving energy

savings

Could be part of building codes and public procurement rules in the Member States

January 2008

Conclusions

ELC & CELMA commit to policy-makers and regulators: To assist the development of workable

Implementing Measures under the EuP Directive by providing technical lighting expertise

To provide assistance to drive renovation through nEEAPs through our Roll Out Member State (ROMS) network

To build awareness for the need of harmonised lighting design criteria to push for larger savings in installations
