bNi-RGY SIAR PARTNFR ENERGY STAR® Program Requirements for Residential Ceiling Fans Partner Commitments Commitment The following are the terms of the ENERGY STAR Partnership Agreement as it pertains to the manufacturing of ENERGY STAR qualified residential ceiling fans. The ENERGY STAR Partner must adhere to the following program requirements: • comply with current ENERGY STAR Eligibility Criteria, defining the performance criteria that must be met for use of the ENERGY STAR certification mark on residential ceiling fans and specifying the testing criteria for residential ceiling fans. EPA may, at its discretion, conduct tests on products that are referred to as ENERGY STAR qualified. These products may be obtained on the open market, or voluntarily supplied by Partner at EPA's request; • comply with current ENERGY STAR Identity Guidelines, describing how the ENERGY STAR logos and name may be used. Partner is responsible for adhering to these guidelines and for ensuring that its authorized representatives, such as advertising agencies, dealers, and distributors, are also in compliance; • qualify at least one residential ceiling fan model within one year of activating the residential ceiling fans portion of the agreement. When Partner qualifies the product, it must meet the specification (e.g., Tier 1 or 2, if applicable) in effect at that time; • provide clear and consistent labeling of ENERGY STAR qualified residential ceilings fans. The ENERGY STAR mark must be clearly displayed on product packaging, in product literature (i.e., user manuals, spec sheets, etc.), and on the manufacturer's Internet site where information about ENERGY STAR qualified models is displayed; • provide to EPA, on an annual basis an updated list of ENERGY STAR qualifying residential ceiling fan models. Once the Partner submits its first list of ENERGY STAR qualified residential ceiling fan models, the Partner will be listed as an ENERGY STAR Partner. Partner must provide annual updates in order to remain on the list of participating product manufacturers; • provide to EPA, on an annual basis, unit shipment data or other market indicators to assist in determining the market penetration of ENERGY STAR. Specifically, Partner must submit the total number of ENERGY STAR qualified residential ceiling fans shipped (in units by model) or an equivalent measurement as agreed to in advance by EPA and Partner. Partner is also encouraged to provide ENERGY STAR qualified unit shipment data segmented by meaningful product characteristics (e.g., capacity, size, speed, or other as relevant), total unit shipments for each model in its product line, and percent of total unit shipments that qualify as ENERGY STAR. The data for each calendar year should be submitted to EPA, preferably in electronic format, no later than the following March and may be provided directly from the Partner or through a third party. The data will be used by EPA only for program evaluation purposes and will be closely controlled. If requested under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), EPA will argue that the data is exempt. Any information used will be masked by EPA so as to protect the confidentiality of the Partner; • notify EPA of a change in the designated responsible party or contacts for residential ceiling fans within 30 days. ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Residential Ceiling Fans: Version 2.1 1 ------- Performance for Special Distinction In order to receive additional recognition and/or support from EPA for its efforts within the Partnership, the ENERGY STAR Partner may consider the following voluntary measures and should keep EPA informed on the progress of these efforts: • consider energy efficiency improvements in company facilities and pursue the ENERGY STAR label for buildings; • purchase ENERGY STAR qualified products. Revise the company purchasing or procurement specifications to include ENERGY STAR. Provide procurement officials' contact information to EPA for periodic updates and coordination. Circulate general ENERGY STAR qualified product information to employees for use when purchasing products for their homes; • ensure the power management feature is enabled on all ENERGY STAR qualified monitors in use in company facilities, particularly upon installation and after service is performed; • provide general information about the ENERGY STAR program to employees whose jobs are relevant to the development, marketing, sales, and service of current ENERGY STAR qualified product models; • feature the ENERGY STAR on Partner Web site and in other promotional materials. If information concerning ENERGY STAR is provided on the Partner Web site as specified by the ENERGY STAR Web Linking Policy (this document can be found in the Partner Resources section on the ENERGY STAR Web site at www.enerqvstar.gov). EPA may provide links where appropriate to the Partner Web site; • provide a simple plan to EPA outlining specific measures Partner plans to undertake beyond the program requirements listed above. By doing so, EPA may be able to coordinate, communicate, and/or promote Partner's activities, provide an EPA representative, or include news about the event in the ENERGY STAR newsletter, on the ENERGY STAR Web pages, etc. The plan may be as simple as providing a list of planned activities or planned milestones that Partner would like EPA to be aware of. For example, activities may include: (1) increase the availability of ENERGY STAR qualified products by converting the entire product line within two years to meet ENERGY STAR guidelines; (2) demonstrate the economic and environmental benefits of energy efficiency through special in-store displays twice a year; (3) provide information to users (via the Web site and user's manual) about energy-saving features and operating characteristics of ENERGY STAR qualified products, and (4) build awareness of the ENERGY STAR Partnership and brand identity by collaborating with EPA on one print advertorial and one live press event; • provide quarterly, written updates to EPA as to the efforts undertaken by Partner to increase availability of ENERGY STAR qualified products, and to promote awareness of ENERGY STAR and its message. ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Residential Ceiling Fans: Version 2.1 ------- ENERGY STAR® Program Requirements for Residential Ceiling Fans Eligibility Criteria mmm Below is the Version 2.1 product specification for ENERGY STAR qualified residential ceiling fans. A product must meet all of the identified criteria to earn the ENERGY STAR. 1) Definitions: Below are the definitions of the relevant terms in this document. A. Residential Ceiling Fan: A non-portable device designed for home use that is suspended from the ceiling for circulating air via the rotation of fan blades. Some ceiling fans also have an integral or attachable light kit. B. Light Kit: A complete lighting unit consisting of a lamp or lamps, and ballasting (when applicable) together with the parts designed to distribute the light, position and protect the lamps, and connect the lamps to the power supply. Light kits can be: • Integral - the light kit is attached to the ceiling fan housing at the time of purchase. This type of a light kit is integrated into the bottom cap of the fan and cannot be removed or replaced with another light kit. • Attachable - the light kit is not, at the time of sale, physically attached to the fan. The light kit must be attached to the ceiling fan for the lights to work. Attachable light kits might be included inside the ceiling fan box at the time of sale or sold separately for subsequent attachment to the fan. C. Controls: Controls enable the user to turn on/off or adjust the lighting and fan movement. Controls may be in the form of pull chain, slide switch, wall switch/panel, or remote control. D. Airflow: The rate of air movement at a specific fan setting expressed in cubic feet per minute (CFM). Airflow is determined from testing done using the Solid State Test Method as defined in EPA's ENERGY STAR Testing Facility Guidance Manual: Building a Testing Facility and Performing the Solid State Test Method for ENERGY STAR Qualified Ceiling Fans. E. Airflow Efficiency: The ratio of airflow divided by power at a specific residential ceiling fan setting expressed in CFM per watt (CFM/watt). Airflow and power are determined from testing done using the Solid State Test Method as defined in EPA's ENERGY STAR Testing Facility Guidance Manual: Building a Testing Facility and Performing the Solid State Test Method for ENERGY STAR Qualified Ceiling Fans. F. Power Consumption: Defined as the active power and expressed in watts. Power consumption is measured during residential ceiling fan testing at a specific speed using the test procedure described in EPA's ENERGY STAR Testing Facility Guidance Manual: Building a Testing Facility and Performing the Solid State Test Method for ENERGY STAR Qualified Ceiling Fans. G. Solid State Test Method: A test method that specifies the apparatus and testing protocol for measuring a residential ceiling fan's airflow and power consumption. The method utilizes a hot- wire anemometer and requires a temperature controlled room and computer for recording test data. H. Hugger Fan: A fan style where the motor mounts directly to the ceiling. Hugger fans are most commonly used in rooms with low ceilings. Hugger fans are manufactured and marketed as ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Residential Ceiling Fans: Version 2.1 3 ------- such and should not be confused with multi-mount (traditional) fans that can be hung without the down rod, giving the same effect as a hugger fan. Hugger fans are designed to allow installations on 7'6" - 8' height ceilings when using a fan light kit in a location where walking under the fan will occur. 2) Qualifying Products: In order to qualify as ENERGY STAR, a residential ceiling fan must meet the definition in Section 1A and the specification requirements provided in Sections 3 through 7, below. Ceiling fan light kits, integral and attachable, must meet the definition in Section 1B and the requirements provided in Appendix A. Hugger fans cannot qualify as ENERGY STAR under this Version 2.1 specification. 3) Performance Specification and Lighting Requirements for Qualifying Products: A. Airflow Efficiency Qualifying products shall meet or exceed the following minimum requirements for total airflow and airflow efficiency when operating in a downward-blowing direction. Models sold with light kits or integrated light sources must be tested with those light sources mounted in their intended position and switched off. The representative model's (i.e, unit shipped to test facility) measured performance may vary by 5 percent of the performance levels provided in Table 1, below, at the time of testing and still be deemed compliant with this specification. These test results may then be used to represent the performance of all individual units sold under the same brand and model name, including those units sold with different finishes (as listed on the ENERGY STAR qualifying product list). Each individual unit must perform within 5 percent of the tested representative model to be compliant with this specification. As of October 1, 2004, tested representative model (i.e., unit shipped to test facility) must meet the minimum requirements listed in Table 1, below, without the assistance of the 5 percent tolerance at the time of testing. Once a representative model has qualified as ENERGY STAR, all additional units manufactured under the same model name/number, and found in the distribution channel (i.e., retail), must perform within 5 percent of the tested performance levels submitted to EPA and listed on the ENERGY STAR Web site. Table 1 -Air Flow Efficiency Requirements Fan Speed Minimum Airflow Efficiency Requirement Low 1,250 CFM 155 CFM/watt Medium 3,000 CFM 100 CFM/watt High 5,000 CFM 75 CFM/watt This specification defines residential ceiling fan airflow efficiency on a performance basis: CFM of airflow per watt of power consumed by the motor and controls. This treats the motor, blades, and controls as a system, allowing multiple approaches to reach a given efficiency level. Efficiency is to be measured on each of three fan speeds (low, medium, high) using the "Solid State Test Method," which is explained in more detail in EPA's ENERGY STAR Testing Facility Guidance Manual: Building a Testing Facility and Performing the Solid State Test Method for ENERGY STAR Qualified Ceiling Fans. For those ceiling fan models that offer more than three speeds (e.g., low, medium, high), manufacturer may choose the three individual speed settings that should be used to comply with the performance levels set forth in Table 1. However, at the time of testing measurements should be taken and reported for all discrete operating speeds. If more than three speeds are listed in the Performance Table, required in Section 7 of this specification, manufacturer should indicate which speeds qualify as ENERGY STAR. ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Residential Ceiling Fans: Version 2.1 4 ------- B. Lighting All integral and attachable light kits must meet the requirements found in Appendix A of this ENERGY STAR specification. Partner should use the Ceiling Fan Qualified Product Information (QPI) form to report qualifying light kits. Qualifying residential ceiling fans sold without integral or attachable light kits must provide information on product packaging or with product instructions regarding ENERGY STAR qualifying light kits that may be used with that particular residential ceiling fan. 4) Controls: Qualifying products shall permit convenient consumer adjustment of fan speed. This may be accomplished by means of one or more wall-mounted switch(es), a remote control, or readily accessible pull chains. For purposes of this specification, "readily accessible" shall be defined as a length sufficient to reach a height of no more than 80 inches (203 cm) above the floor when the residential ceiling fan is mounted according to the residential ceiling fan's installation instructions. For those residential ceiling fans that can accommodate light kits, the lights and the fans must be able to be controlled separately, allowing users to switch off lights during fan operation or operate the lights without using the residential ceiling fan. Qualifying products shall also provide for consumer adjustment of airflow direction (upward or downward) by one of the following means: • A vertically or horizontally mounted slide switch on the motor housing. For vertically mounted switches, the downward position must correspond to downward airflow. For horizontally mounted switches, airflow direction must be clearly identified on the switch housing or within the product literature. • A wall-mounted switch • A remote control • A readily accessible pull chain 5) Sound: No requirements at this time. 6) Minimum Warranty: Qualifying products shall provide a warranty of at least 30 years for the motor and at least one year for all other components of qualifying residential ceiling fans. All ceiling fan light kits (i.e., integral and sold separately) also shall meet applicable warranty requirements as listed in Appendix A. 7) Consumer Information: In addition to the ENERGY STAR mark, packaging of ENERGY STAR qualified residential ceiling fan models shall also state airflow, fan power consumption, and airflow efficiency at each of their three operating speeds, as determined by the test procedures specified in Section 3A, Airflow Efficiency. If the ceiling fan model offers more than three speeds, performance results should be provided for all speeds on the packaging, indicating which three speeds were used to qualify the fan as ENERGY STAR. This information shall appear in the following form on the outside portion of the package: Fan Speed Airflow Fan Power Consumption (without lights) Airflow Efficiency (higher is better) Low CFM watts CFM/watt Medium CFM watts CFM/watt High CFM watts CFM/watt ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Residential Ceiling Fans: Version 2.1 5 ------- Product operating and installation instructions shall include a short list of standardized information regarding how to operate the products efficiently. This list shall include, at a minimum, information about the following topics: • adjusting fan speed and direction for season and room occupancy to maximize energy savings • HVAC thermostat adjustment for energy savings when a ceiling fan is in use • proper mounting distance from the ceiling to maximize efficient operation • how to find proper replacement lamps for the light kit, if included 8) Testing and Reporting Procedures: Manufacturers are required to perform tests and self-certify each representative model that they intend to qualify as ENERGY STAR. In performing these tests, laboratories must use the test method described in EPA's ENERGY STAR Testing Facility Guidance Manual: Building a Testing Facility and Performing the Solid State Test Method for ENERGY STAR Qualified Ceiling Fans. When testing ceiling fan light kits, manufacturers must meet the testing and documentation requirements included in Appendix A. A. Laboratory Testing Under this specification, ceiling fans may only be tested by those laboratories that meet the guidelines provided in EPA's ENERGY STAR Testing Facility Guidance Manual and have been approved to test for ENERGY STAR qualification. EPA will conduct annual "round-robin" testing of these laboratories (i.e. calibrations), to verify that test results fall within +/- 5 percent of each other. This process will be performed using a reference fan provided by EPA. Laboratories that can test and qualify ceiling fans under ENERGY STAR, can be downloaded from the ENERGY STAR Web site at www.enerqvstar.gov/partners. Additional direction regarding the laboratory calibration procedure is provided in EPA's ENERGY STAR Testing Facility Guidance Manual: Building a Testing Facility and Performing the Solid State Test Method for ENERGY STAR Qualified Ceiling Fans. B. Reporting Reguirements The company whose brand name appears on the product packaging shall, for purposes of this specification, be considered the manufacturer. Manufacturers must complete a QPI form when submitting qualified products to EPA. This form must be accompanied by reports from a qualified laboratory containing airflow, power consumption, airflow efficiency data, and lighting test results (where applicable) for each residential ceiling fan model and light kits proposed for qualification. Families of residential ceiling fan models that are identical in every respect but finish may be qualified through submission of test data for a single representative model. Likewise, models that are unchanged or that differ only in finish from those sold in a previous year may remain qualified without the submission of new test data, assuming the specification remains unchanged. However, separate test data are required for all models that differ in any of the following characteristics: • motor type or size • rotational speed • control type (if included with fan) • blade weight, number, size, or pitch • housing (i.e., size, design, ventilation) C. Product Performance Review Process To the extent ENERGY STAR is a self-certification program, EPA relies on the integrity of participating companies to ensure all products for which ENERGY STAR claims are made, meet all aspects of the ENERGY STAR performance specification. When mistakes are made and products are mislabeled or fail to perform as expected, EPA is committed to ensuring prompt corrective action. In the event EPA is provided test data or other product information indicating a performance problem or mislabeling situation, EPA will take the following steps: ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Residential Ceiling Fans: Version 2.1 6 ------- 1. Inform the product manufacturer about the apparent performance and/or labeling problem. 2. Ask the product manufacturer to withdraw the product (i.e. model number) from the ENERGY STAR qualified product list and stop labeling -OR- affirm the basis for qualification by supplying any relevant test data not already provided. 3. In the event that a definitive conclusion cannot be reached based on the manufacturer's response, EPA will make every effort to test the product in question as part of its in-use screening initiative. 4. If EPA concludes, based on testing performed on behalf of EPA in accordance with the ENERGY STAR specified test procedure, that the product in question does not fully qualify with the ENERGY STAR performance criteria, the product manufacturer will be asked to provide a "corrective action" plan to EPA outlining the process by which the product will be modified and retested so that qualification with the specification will be demonstrated within 90 days. If the product manufacturer fails to submit a corrective action plan or exceeds the deadline for implementing it, the product in question will be removed from the Qualified Product List on the ENERGY STAR Web site. 9) Effective Date: The date that manufacturers may begin to qualify products as ENERGY STAR, under the Version 2.1 specification, will be defined as the effective date of the agreement. The ENERGY STAR Residential Ceiling Fan (Version 2.1) specification shall go into effect on September 1, 2006. Any previously executed agreement on the subject of ENERGY STAR qualified residential ceiling fans, shall be terminated effective August 31, 2006. A. Qualifying and Labeling Products Under the Version 2.1 Specification: All products, including models originally qualified under Version 2.0, with a date of manufacture on or after September 1, 2006, must meet the Version 2.1 requirements in order to bear the ENERGY STAR mark on the product or in product literature. The date of manufacture is specific to each unit and is the date (e.g., month and year) on which a unit is considered to be completely assembled. B. Elimination of Grandfathering: EPA will not allow grandfathering under this Version 2.1 ENERGY STAR specification. ENERGY STAR qualification under Version 2.0 is not automatically granted for the life of the product model. Therefore any product sold, marketed, or identified by the manufacturing partner as ENERGY STAR must meet the current specification in effect at that time. 10) Future Specification Revisions: ENERGY STAR reserves the right to change the specification should technological and/or market changes affect its usefulness to consumers, industry, or the environment. In keeping with current policy, revisions to the specification are arrived at through industry discussions. ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Residential Ceiling Fans: Version 2.1 ------- APPENDIX A: Ceiling Fan Light Kit Requirements Exclusion of magnetic ballasts: Light kits that use magnetic ballasts cannot be ENERGY STAR qualified under this specification. Self-ballasted pin based lamps: Light kits that use a self-ballasted pin based lamp can be ENERGY STAR qualified light kits if all applicable requirements for qualifying products are met. This includes the requirement that the average rated life of the lamp must meet or exceed 10,000 hours and that the maximum measured ballast case temperature during normal operation inside the light kit does not exceed the ballast manufacturer maximum recommended temperature. Temporary allowance for decorative LEDs: EPA encourages the use of innovative light source technologies such as LEDs. LEDs used as decorative lighting elements in ceiling fan light kits are allowed as long as the total wattage of the LEDs does not exceed five (5) watts, the average LED system (LED and driver) efficacy is at least 20 lumens per watt, and the LED is used to supplement a primary light source that meets all of the applicable performance characteristics outlined in the Eligibility Criteria. The ENERGY STAR Partner must supply the following LED information to EPA: total wattage consumed by all the LEDs, manufacturer warranty, an LED manufacturer specification sheet that shows wattage, efficacy, LED life, color, and lumen depreciation. This is a temporary allowance for the use of LEDs; EPA plans to develop more comprehensive specifications for LED performance as the technology advances and becomes more widely used in residential applications. Table 1 - Ceiling Fan Light Kits: Requirements Performance Characteristic ENERGY STAR Specification Note: Only electronic ballasts may be used to meet the requirements of this table. In addition, light kits that utilize compact fluorescent lamps that do not have a plug-in base (i.e use a mogul, medium, or other screw base) are not eligible to earn the ENERGY STAR. Combined Lamo & Ballast Reguirements: System Efficacy Per Lamp Ballast Platform in Lumens Per Watt (LPW)1, > 50 LPW for all lamp types below 30 total listed lamp watts. > 60 LPW for all lamp types that are < 24 inches and > 30 total listed lamp watts. > 70 LPW for all lamp types that are > 24 inches and > 30 total listed lamp watts. 1 Efficacy shall be determined by the following equation: Efficacy [Lumens per Watt] = Measured Lamp Lumens fLumensl Measured Input Power [Watts] Lamp Lumens: Lamp lumens must be measured using the lamp and ballast that are shipped with the light kit. Input Power: Input power must be measured with the lamp and ballast that are shipped with the light kit. ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Residential Ceiling Fans: Version 2.1 8 ------- Lamo Requirements: Lamp Life For lamps shipped with the light kits, the average rated life of the lamp must be > 10,000 hours. Lumen Maintenance Lamp shall have an average rated lumen maintenance of at least 80% of initial lamp lumens at 40% (4,000 hours minimum) rated lamp life. Color Rendering Index (CRI) CRI for lamps used in light kit must be > 80 Correlated Color Temperature Lamps must have one of the following designated correlated color temperatures (CCT): 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4100K, 5000K, or6500K. Lamp/Lampholder Compatibility Lamps must utilize an ANSI/IEC standardized lamp base configuration, as defined by ANSI C81.61 and IEC 60061-1. The lampholder must be designed to accept lamps with ANSI/IEC standardized lamp base configurations for all applicable wattages. For example, if the ballast can operate lamps with multiple wattages (e.g., an 18W, 26W, or 32W lamp) then the lampholder must be designed to accept lamps with ANSI/IEC standardized lamp base configurations for all three applicable wattages. In addition, lamps shall either: • Meet the requirements of an ANSI/IEC standardized lamp specification sheet, as defined by ANSI C78.901-2001 and IEC 60901 (for compact fluorescent lamps) or ANSI C78.81-2001 and IEC 60081 (for linear lamps) if an applicable standard exists, or, • If no ANSI/IEC lamp standard exists (e.g., a spiral compact fluorescent lamp), a custom lamp specification sheet must be provided at the time of submittal. Specific lamp characteristics that should be included in the lamp specification sheet are detailed in Table 3. Lamp Labeling Requirement A manufacturer designation that encompasses the lamp manufacturer name, wattage, correlated color temperature, and color rendering index must be labeled on the lamp or lamp base. Electronic Ballast Reauirements (Note: Maanetic Ballasts Mav Not Be Used in Liqht Kits): General Per ANSI C82.11 Section 5 except paragraph 5.3.1. Lamp Start Time The time needed after switching on the lamp to start continuously and remain illuminated must be an average of one second or less. Power Factor IV o cn Lamp Current Crest Factor < 1.7 ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Residential Ceiling Fans: Version 2.1 9 ------- Maximum Measured Ballast Case Temperature During Normal Operation Inside Light kit(s) Not to exceed the ballast manufacturer maximum recommended ballast case temperature during normal operation inside a light kit. Note: This performance characteristic is separate and distinct from thermal requirements established by UL, which governs safety rather than longevity of the ballast. All qualified light kits are expected to meet this requirement Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference Ballast must meet FCC requirements for consumer use (FCC 47 CFR Part 18 Consumer Emission Limits) Ballast Frequency 20 to 33 kHz or >40 kHz Transient Protection Per ANSI C82.11b, paragraph 5.10.1 (100kHz Ring Wave, 2.5kV, both common mode and differential mode, 7 strikes) End of Life Protection All ballasts that operate lamps sized T5 and smaller must contain an end of life protection circuit. For ballasts that operate multiple lamps and are required to have end of life protection, the ballast must shut down no more than two lamps when one of the lamps has reached end of life. For example, a light kit with one ballast and five lamps must not shut down more than the lamp that has reached end of life plus one additional lamp. Dimming Light kits that utilize dimmable ballasts shall be dimmable from 100% to 30%, or less, of maximum light output, or be switchable to three levels of brightness, not including the off position.
