U.S. ENERGY CONSUMPTION


� Space conditioning & water heating account for 62% of total residential energy use or 12.5% of total energy use in the U.S.

� Appliances (excluding space conditioning & water heating) account for 17% of total residential energy use or 3.5% of total energy use in the U.S.

� Residential water heating energy use is roughly equivalent to all appliances. 2005 TOTAL CONSUMPTION: 20.0 QUADS


AVERAGE HOME APPLIANCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN EUROPE



LOWERING RESIDENTIAL ENERGY USE:

PRODUCE MORE EFFICIENT HOME

APPLIANCES



TODAY: CONSUMERS BENEFIT FROM INNOVATIVE,

RESOURCE-EFFICIENT PRODUCTS


Replacing a refrigerator

purchased in 1990 with a

new ENERGY STAR®

qualified model would save

enough energy to light the

average household for more

than 4 ½ months.

An ENERGY STAR qualified

dishwasher saves enough

water in one year to give

every person in

Williamsburg, Va., a glass

of water.

If just one in 10 homes

used ENERGY STAR

qualified appliances, the

change would be like

planting 1.7 million new

acres of trees.

If every household in the

U.S. used a high-

efficiency washer, the

water savings could

equal the amount of

water that flows over

Niagara Falls in about 3.5

months.

WHIRLPOOL CORPORATION MANUFACTURERS MORE THAN 600 ENERGY STAR QUALIFIED PRODUCTS


OUR CURRENT ROADMAP WILL REDUCE ENERGY

CONSUMPTION ACROSS ALL OUR BUSINESSES …


We Will Drop Energy

Consumption by 5 to 50%

with current approaches


LOWERING RESIDENTIAL ENERGY USE:

THERMALLY CONNECTING HOME

APPLIANCES



INTEGRATING THE KITCHEN AS AN ECOSYSTEM:

THERMALLY CONNECTED AND FOCUSED ON ADAPTING,

REDUCING AND RECYCLING


Concept delivers

ecological benefits of

adapting, reducing,

recycling. Through an

integrated use of

appliances, the concept

takes its model from the

cycle of nature,

optimizing the use of

heat and water with

processes that could cut

your appliances energy

bill by 70%.

MAKING MORE EFFECTIVE USE OF THE

ENERGY WE DO PRODUCE:

INFORMATION-CONNECTED APPLIANCES

COORDINATING “COMMUNITIES” OF HOME APPLIANCES TO

MATCH DEMAND TO AVAILABLE ENERGY



INFORMATION-CONNECTED APPLIANCES


INC

ECMMDN

“Information connected” appliances can

increase the efficient use of currently

produced power.

Control and influence communities of

consumers to:

� shift energy to off-peak times, and

� manage peak loads when they

occur to lower energy use and

protect the grid.

PROVIDING MEANINGFUL INFORMATION


Information-connected appliances help consumers make good choices about When & How to use their products.

WOODRIDGE PROJECT


SUCCESSFUL SHIFT OF THE CLOTHES DRYER LOAD CURVE


Standard load shape. . . compared with Woodridge pilot Red/Green LED with auto delay button (Time-of-use tariff)


INFORMATION-CONNECTED APPLIANCES CAN PROVIDE RAPID LOAD

REDUCTION TO MATCH ENERGY PRODUCTION AND/OR PROTECT THE GRID


Low Customer Impact:� turn off heating element,

� residual heat and tumbling continue

� dryer control system and sensors remain active

to ensure the drying process is still managed

� automatically extended drying time if required

When a grid instability was sensed, power on

150 Grid-Enabled dryers reduced from 5,700

watts to ~280 watts within .4 seconds . . .

a 95% load reduction

FOR MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT INDIVIDUAL APPLIANCES, LOWER ENERGY COSTS PROVIDE CLEAR ECONOMIC BENEFITS FOR

CONSUMERS = WILLINGNESS TO PAY FOR INCREASED EFFICIENCY.

THE ISSUE IS THE OVERALL IMPACT IS JUST NOT THAT BIG….


THERMALLY CONNECTED APPLIANCES PROVIDE CLEAR

ECONOMIC BENEFITS FOR CONSUMERS AND ALSO

HAVE BIGGER IMPACT, BUT…


General assumption:

Average usage per year in the 5 key European countries for a family with two children

550 kWh/y 200 kWh/y 83 kWh/y 360 kWh/y 710 kWh/y383 kWh/y1166 kWh/y 70 kWh/y

Appliances which generate

“waste” heat

Appliances which can use

heat wasted from other

appliances

CREATING THERMALLY CONNECTED APPLIANCES REQUIRES BROAD ALLIANCES BETWEEN APPLIANCE MANUFACTURERS, BUILDER SUPPLY COMPANIES, AND BUILDERS TO ESTABLISH

ENABLING HOME INFRASTRUCTURE:

10-20 YEARS TO CREATE AN INSTALLED BASE THAT MEANINGFULLY REDUCES ENERGY USE.

Information-connected appliances are

not waiting for technology they are

waiting for aligned economic drivers so

that manufacturers incorporate

connectivity into their products.

Currently, money primarily flows from

consumers to manufacturers.

Several choices to establish widespread

connectivity:

�Increase incentives for consumers to

purchase connected appliances

�Establish connectivity incentives

between utilities and manufacturers

�Cause governments to incent

connectivity for the greater good.


RESIDENTIAL ENERGY CONSERVATION:

A SIGNIFICANT OPPORTUNITY

� 37

� provide large energy reductions

� deliver against consumer economic drivers,

� but require significant home infrastructure changes and many years to provide a collective benefit

� Provide a means to achieve collective benefits through demand response and grid protection

� Impact the entire energy value chain,

� but have less immediate impact on the economics of individual consumers
