Collecting energy use data and estimating energy savings opportunities for a broad scope of devices will allow CEC to identify and focus on devices that present the greatest savings opportunities. [...] In addition, establishing a data collection procedure will allow manufacturers and other stakeholders to measure and report energy use of a broad range of devices in a consistent manner, and allow all parties to have informed discussions on roadmap scope and targets. [...] In keeping with the flexible nature of the roadmap, the data collection procedure simply aims to allow multiple stakeholders to collect data in a consistent manner, in support of the development of the roadmap. [...] Scope NRDC and ASAP support CEC’s proposal to keep the initial scope of the roadmap and data collection as broad as possible, to allow CEC to identify and focus on devices that present the greatest savings opportunities once energy use data has been collected. [...] Despite its simplicity, a roadmap approach will take time, and the magnitude of the energy wasted from devices that do not transition to best practice low power modes when inactive is a major barrier to California’s climate and clean energy goals.
