ABSTRACT
According to a study by the United Nation Environment Protection - Sustainable Building Climate Initiatives (UNEP -SBCI), the building sector has the highest chance of reducing carbon in a city in terms of magnitude compared to total implementation costs (total CO2 reduction per USD investment), compared to other sectors. This means that, strategically to achieve total carbon reduction in a city, the building sector needs to target higher carbon reductions than other sectors so that the excess carbon reduction achieved can cover the shortfall in carbon reduction for other sectors. This means that the development of energy efficient buildings alone is not enough. Thus, the building sector needs to have a program that leads to maximum carbon reduction performance i.e., the zero energy building program (ZEB). Now several countries already embarked towards ZEB program.
The new definition of ZEB has also been renewed and has recently been adopted by the International Standards Organization (ISO) under the ISO/TC 205 working group.
The initial development of ZEBs in Malaysia began in 2002 and until now some buildings have achieved that performance based on the new definition of zero energy building. In 2018, SEDA Malaysia has embarked the voluntary initiative on ZEB awareness, promotion and technical facilitation program. This includes the development of a simple ZEB performance assessment system based on the current CIDB’s Construction Industry Standard (CIS) 20:2012 – GreenPASS. Some local authorities especially those who are currently implementing the low carbon cities program especially those are targeting carbon neutral cities by 2050, interested to consider the implementation of ZEB program.

* The strategy should be carefully co-ordinated, technically sound, and involve partners from all the supply chain.
Introduction to the Ecodesign of Energy Related Products DirectiveLeonardo ENERGY
The Ecodesign of Energy Related Products Directive (EED) was adopted in 2009 as an amendment from the 2005 Ecodesign of Energy Using Products Directive and is one of the EU’s four key Directives addressing energy efficiency in stationary (i.e. non transport) end-uses (the others being the Energy Performance in Buildings Directive, Energy Efficiency Directive and the Energy Labelling Directive). The EU was a relative late comer among leading international economies in having overarching legislation to set minimum energy performance standards for equipment but since the adoption of Ecodesign it has set an impressive pace of adoption of implementing measures which are now estimated to cover 48% of all EU energy consumption. The average expected energy savings per product group addressed is projected to reach 19% by 2030, to lower energy bills by €160 billion for a €60 billion increase in equipment acquisition costs i.e. a net benefit of €100 billion and to create 0.8 million extra direct jobs for industry, wholesale and the retail sector.
The projected CO2 savings from this Directive alone are estimated to reach 320 Mt CO2 equiva-lent, equal to 7% of all EU GHG emissions in 2010. This is in excess of savings projected from the EU emissions trading system.

Eco Design Directive 2009/125/EC
European Commission Regulation no 642/2009
• Television
Introduction
The Eco-design Directive for Energy-related Products (ErP) 2009/125/EC –
formerly known as Energy-using Products (EuP) -- requires manufacturers and
importers to demonstrate compliance with the Directive’s product category-
specific requirements outlined in the Implementing Measures (IMs). The ErP
Directive is CE Marking legislation, but differs from other EU legislation as it’s
intended to encompass the entire life cycle of energy related products.
The Directive’s Implementing Measures provide the specific compliance
requirements, segmented by approximately 30 product categories with more
product categories to be identified in the future.
The Implementing Measures for Televisions (642/2009) entered into force on
August 11th 2009 and specifies minimum requirements in four increasingly
ambitious stages, starting in January 2010 and the last finishing in April 2012.
The Implementing Measures initially require all TVs to have a standby and/or an
off-mode and sets maximum power consumption levels for TVs in standby-
mode and off-mode. The second stage introduces maximum power
consumption levels for TVs in on-mode. At the third stage, in August 2011, even
lower power consumption levels in standby-mode and off-mode are required.
Televisions are required to automatically switch from on-mode to a low power
mode after a period of non-use. The inclusion of an “off” switch is encouraged
by an extra allowance for off mode consumption for televisions having one that
is easily visible. The final stage sets even lower maximum on-mode power
consumption requirements.
1. The ErP Directive in brief
As of November 20, 2009 the European Commission repealed the Eco-Design
Directive for Energy-using Products (EuP) 2005/32/EC, and replaced it with the
more comprehensive Energy-related Products (ErP) Directive 2009/125/EC.
According to the European Commission energy-related products are; “any

Implementing Measure
goods having an impact on energy consumption during use." Energy-related
products include all energy-using products (televisions, microwaves,
refrigerators), plus energy-conserving products (windows, insulation materials
and water using products, like shower heads).
The new ErP Directive encompasses both the products covered under the
former EuP Directive – those that use, generate, transfer or measure energy –
and those that can contribute significant energy savings during use. The ErP
Directive must be implemented in each member state’s national law by
November 20, 2010.
Beginning November 20, 2009 the new Directive requires
manufacturers refer to the ErP Directive – not the EuP
Directive – when CE-marking products. The so called
Implementing Measures, which set out the actual product
requirements to be met by product category for the EuP
Directive, is still applicable.
The EU Directive on Eco-design entered into force in August 2007 (then known
as the EuP Directive) and applies throughout the EU. The Eco-Design Directive
aims to reduce the energy use and other negative environmental impacts
throughout the life cycle of products powered by electricity, fossil or renewable
fuels as well as energy-related products.
According to the EU’s Official Journal, energy-related products account for a
large proportion of the consumption of natural resources and energy in the
community. Furthermore, many energy-related products have a significant
potential for being improved in order to reduce environmental impacts and to
achieve energy savings through better design which also leads to economic
savings for business and end-users.
The Directive means that manufacturers must take into account energy use and
other environmental factors in the product design. Both producers and importers
will be affected by the Directive. In order to CE mark products, and thus sell the
products on the European market, the Directive requires adaptation of your
products to meet the "Implementing Measures" that are currently being
developed for different products. The first phase of the ErP Directive involves
around 30 product categories and more are likely to be affected in the future.

5. Eco-Design Directive (ErP):
Analysis of the Television
Implementing Measure
ErP Scope: Product, Market, Process
The Directive applies to all products and/or product groups that require energy
in order to function as intended (excluding vehicles that transport humans or
goods - cars, trains, ships, and airplanes) as well as energy-related products
such as windows, insulation materials and water using products, like shower
heads. The products should fulfill the following criteria in order to be included in
an action or to be self-regulating:
1. The product should represent a significant volume of sales and trade within
the EU, namely, exceeding 200,000 market units across all manufacturers
(this applies to the entire product group rather than individual products or
models, or market volume of an individual manufacturer).
2. The product should, in view of the quantities put on the market and/or used,
have a substantial environmental impact within the EU.
3. There should be significant opportunities for improving the product’s
environmental impact without incurring unreasonable costs, in view of the
fact that:
a. There is no other relevant common legislation for dealing with the
problem in a suitable manner and it cannot be solved by market
forces.
b. There is a large difference in the environmental performance of
different Energy using Products on the market with equivalent
functions.
c. A special method is used to assess whether and to what extent
different Energy-related Products fulfill these criteria and to outline
which eco-design requirements can be established for each specific
product.
The basic elements of the Eco-design requirement are compiled by a number of
groups of experts engaged by the EU Commission, which then put forward
proposals for product requirements. The Commission reviews these on a
product-by-product basis and sends its proposals for product requirements in a
custom document to all EU Member States. The Implementing Measures will be
introduced for each product group either through national law or through a
daughter directive under the Eco-design Directive for Energy-related Products
(ErP).

Analysis of the Television
Implementing Measure
ErP Adoption
The first Implementing Measures to be adopted were as follows, standby/off
mode, simple set top boxes1, street and office lighting, non-directional
household lamps and external power supplies.
On July 22nd, 2009 the European Commission adopted four new eco-design
regulations to improve the energy efficiency of 1) industrial motors, 2)
circulators, 3) televisions, 4) refrigerators and freezers. According to the
European Commission’s website the four new energy efficiency requirements
will save about 190 TWh per year by 2020, which is comparable to the
combined annual electricity consumption of Sweden and Austria. In total nine
eco-design Implementing Measures have been adopted.

A simple set top box is a stand-alone device which has the primary function of converting standard or
high definition, free-to-air digital broadcast signals to analogue broadcast signals suitable for analogue
television or radio without conditional access and may or may not have recording functions based on non-
removable media storage.

Analysis of the Television
Implementing Measure
2. Regulation 642/2009 for the Eco-design Requirements for
Televisions
Annual consumption related to televisions was estimated to be 60TWh (one
Terra Watt hour is a billion kilo Watt hours) in 2007 in the Community. This has
been predicted that consumption will rise to 132TWh by 2020 if no specific
measures are in place to limit this consumption. The preparatory study showed
that the in-use phase electricity consumption can be significantly reduced by
applying existing non-proprietary cost-effective technologies.
The EU regulation 642/2009, which was published in the
Official Journal of The European Union on 22 July 2009,
will impose eco-design requirements on all televisions
placed on the EU market from 7th January 2010. Television
means a ‘television set’ or a ‘television monitor’.
Definition of Television Set
A television set is a product designed primarily for the display and reception of
audio visual signals, placed on the market under one model or system
designation and consists of a display, plus one or more tuners/receivers. It may
have functions for data storage and/or display of, for example, DVD, HDD (Hard
Disk Drive) or VCR either in a single unit or in one or more separate units.
Definition of Television Monitor
A television monitor is a product designed to display on an integrated screen a
video signal from a variety of sources, including television broadcast signals,
which optionally controls and reproduces audio signals from an external source
device, which is linked through standardized video signal paths including cinch,
SCART, HDMI and future wireless standards (excludes non-standardized video
signal paths like DVI and SDI), but cannot receive and process broadcast
signals.
Additional Considerations
The Implementing Measures state the on-mode measurements must be carried
out in the “as delivered” mode and also specify that televisions placed on the
market after August 2010 must be delivered in a mode which is at least 65% of
www.intertek.com/ErP 7

Analysis of the Television
Implementing Measure
the peak luminance of the brightest on-mode condition2 provided by the TV.
This is to avoid meeting the requirements purely by supplying TVs in a default
mode which is undesirably dark.
TVs with a forced menu on installation must have a “Home-mode”3 as the
default choice. If another mode is chosen, a second process shall be prompted
to confirm this choice.
The ambient light level of the testing environment must be considered when
measuring the power consumption of a television with an automatic brightness
control that cannot be disabled.
There is also a requirement after 20 August 2011, for an automatic switch from
on-mode to a low power mode after a specified period of non-use and an
allowance for a slightly higher standby-mode if the TV includes a hard-off switch.
3. Important Dates
The regulation was adopted by the commission and published on 22nd July,
2009 and came into force on 11 August 2009.
In order to satisfy the ErP minimum requirements for this product group:
From 7 Jan 2010
• All TVs must satisfy the off-mode criteria of ≤ 1.00W
• All TVs must satisfy the standby-mode criteria of ≤ 1.00W or ≤ 2.00W if
they have an information or status display
• All TVs must have a standby-mode and/or an off-mode and/or another
mode not exceeding the applicable requirements of standby/off-mode.
From 20 August 2010
• All TVs must satisfy the on-mode criteria of:
Full HD TVs ≤ 20 (15 for TV monitors) + A4 * (1.12*4.3224)W/dm2
Other resolution TVs ≤ 20 (15 for TV monitors) + A * (4.3224)W/dm2
• If TVs have a forced menu, they must have a “Home Mode” as the default. If
another mode is selected, there must be another selection process to
confirm this choice
