The Energy Whip Comes Down on Televisions
September 28th, 2009
St. James Plantation, NC custom home builder Mark Johnson Custom Homes trusts Wilmington, NC’s finest home audio establishment, Electronics2You, with their client’s electronic needs. Mark Johnson Custom Homes and Electronics2You understand that being attentive to the ever-changing electronics industry is the best way to address their client’s needs. Below is an excerpt from an article in this month’s Electronics2You e-newsletter regarding energy-efficient televisions. For more information on Electronics2You, visit their site, sign up for their newsletter, or call them at 910-397-0953.
“Our TV’s are bound to get much more efficient – starting next year. Energy Star, the voluntary energy-efficiency program run by the United States’ EPA, has released the final specifications for much more stringent energy levels for TV’s starting in May 1, 2010, with even stricter standards to follow on May 1, 2012. TV’s manufactured after those dates must meet the new requirements to bear the Energy Star logo, which signifies a more energy-efficient product.
The new specs for TV’s, called versions 4.0 and 5.0, respectively, are focused mainly around on-mode power consumption. The current Energy Star 3.0 specification that went into effect in November 2008 was the first to require TVs to meet maximum on-mode power consumption levels, though most TV’s in the market met the standard and the specification has been considered too lenient.
According to Energy Star, ‘TV’s qualifying for Energy Star under the Version 4.0 specification will offer consumers a savings of more than 40 percent. When the Version 5.0 specification goes into effect, Energy Star-qualified TV’s will be as much as 65 percent more efficient than models currently on the market.’”
