The document discusses defining and measuring the "greenness" of displays. It announces a new report on green displays and covers why manufacturers, consumers and regulators care about green displays. Key attributes that determine a display's greenness are described, such as energy used in manufacturing and recycling ease. Benchmark displays from 2009 are compared, and regulatory trends are outlined. The document calls for harmonizing global regulations and establishing a green display index.

These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled Technology Management Strategy to analyze the business model for Solar Windows from New Energy Technologies. New Energy Technologies provides a process for transforming existing windows into solar collectors merely by spraying several materials on the windows. With this low cost process, the windows can create electricity with costs and efficiencies that are much lower than those of solar collectors. The value proposition is low cost solar electricity and the main customers are buildings in areas with lots of sunlight such as Dubai. The firm should outsource manufacturing and installation to local firms and make money in licensing. Its patents can be used to protect from imitation.
Article 4 of the Energy Efficiency Directive requires Member States to define long-term strategies for stimulating energy efficiency of the buildings sector. The Department of Energy, Communications and Natural Resources is therefore tasked with publishing a National Renovation Strategy V.2 by 30th April 2017, covering buildings in the commercial, residential and public building sectors.
The aim of this first workshop was to explore all measures that could be taken in Ireland to move towards large-scale deep-renovation in the Public Buildings Sector.
The workshop took place in Farmleigh House on Thursday 16th June 2016.

Trends in Green Kitchens and Green BuildingsDerek Satnik
The green building industry is one of the hottest right now. Construction has always been a major contributor to the economy, and Canada is adding enough new buildings every year that over 1,000 kilotons of new emissions are added to the building sector's footprint - compounded every year. The same market in the US adds almost 10 times more. This is obviously a problem.
The Green Building sector is making a significant impact at reversing this trend. Mindscape's partners are leading the way: our latest projects are pursuing net-zero, cost effectively. LEED Platinum is not only affordable, but it's making money for the building owners. Green material costs are continually becoming more competitive as suppliers adapt to the requirements of green building programs. There are brighter days ahead.

Do UX designers have a role in reducing digital waste?User Vision
UX designers are primarily concerned with ensuring the experience of end users, but should we also consider the impact on the environment?
Do the ultra-usable and convenient digital lifestyles we help create provide ease-of-use at the cost of sustainability?
We'll explore the surprisingly large impact that digital has on C02 emissions and other contributors to the climate crisis.
Then we’ll discuss what can be done by individuals and as a profession to raise awareness of the issue contribute to ways to mitigate the problem.

4. Why do we care about
green displays?
http://www.InsightMedia.Info
5. Why do we care about green
displays? Manufacturers
• To be (or appear to be) good corporate citizens
• See areas of cost saving in green design,
manufacturing, and recycling
• Wish to comply with (or get ahead of) government
regulations
• See opportunities for marketing and sale of green
products
• Take advantage of on-going energy saving and eco-
friendly trends to promote as green products
http://www.InsightMedia.Info
6. Why do we care about green
displays? Consumers
• Lower energy consumption will save money
• Want to contribute to environmental sustainability
• Need assistance in correctly disposing of display
products at end of life
• Want high quality display products with green
attributes without price increase
• Want to be seen as an eco-friendly consumer
http://www.InsightMedia.Info
7. Why do we care about green displays?
Regulators
• There are substantial energy savings and GHG
reductions to be obtained
• Electronic waste is a growing global problem
• Hazardous materials pollute the environment
• Negative effects on the environment need to be
reduced and controlled
• Regulations can change behavior (corporate and
consumer) as well as drive technology innovation
http://www.InsightMedia.Info
8. Attributes of a Green Display
• Examples of factors determining “Green-ness”
– Energy and raw materials consumed and GHG produced in
manufacturing the display
– Energy consumed and the carbon footprint involved in
transporting the display to the point of sale
– Energy consumption in operation
– Hazardous materials content
– Ease and cost of recycling
http://www.InsightMedia.Info
9. Attributes of a Green Display
• Examples of factors determining “Green-ness”
– Energy and raw materials consumed and GHG produced in
manufacturing the display
– Energy consumed and the carbon footprint involved in
transporting the display to the point of sale
– Energy consumption in operation
– Hazardous materials content
– Ease and cost of recycling
• A display is considered to have green attributes if in
its design, manufacture, use or disposal, it:
– Conserves energy
– Results in fewer greenhouse gas emissions
– Reduces pollution
– Yields a more environmentally sustainable outcome compared to
prior products.
http://www.InsightMedia.Info
10. Evolution of Display Products
• LCD and PDP technology have evolved over time to
deliver key display performance attributes
– high luminance
– high resolution
– high contrast ratio
– wide color gamut
– fast response
– large screen size with thin profile
http://www.InsightMedia.Info
11. Evolution of Display Products
• LCD and PDP technology have evolved over time to
deliver key display performance attributes
– high luminance
– high resolution
– high contrast ratio
– wide color gamut
– fast response
– large screen size with thin profile
• “Green” properties of earlier displays have often
been secondary or background considerations
– Energy Star
– RoHS
– WEEE
http://www.InsightMedia.Info
12. Why Energy Savings from
Televisions?
• Energy Star points out there are 275 million TVs in
U.S. consuming >50 billion kWh of energy each year
– 4 % of all household electricity use
– Enough to power all the homes in New York state for a year
• Consumers have/are upgrading their sets to digital
and the long term trend has been to more and
larger screens
http://www.InsightMedia.Info
13. Why Energy Savings from
Televisions?
• Energy Star points out there are 275 million TVs in
U.S. consuming >50 billion kWh of energy each year
– 4 % of all household electricity use
– Enough to power all the homes in New York state for a year
• Consumers have/are upgrading their sets to digital
and the long term trend has been to more and
larger screens
• However, realizing substantial energy savings from
televisions will require changes
http://www.InsightMedia.Info
14. Green Product Lifecycle
• Energy used by the display
• Materials, Components and
Supply Chain
• Energy and processes used
for display manufacturing
• Transportation through the
distribution supply chain and
recycling process
• Recycling
http://www.InsightMedia.Info
15. Life Cycle Assessment
• Intent of LCA
– Capture all inputs and outputs involved in the manufacture,
use and disposal or recycling of a product.
Source: US EPA
http://www.InsightMedia.Info
16. Enterprise Carbon Accounting
• ECA should account for all direct and indirect sources of GHG
emissions
• As the industry moves to adopt comprehensive LCA there
have been some difficulties establishing common methods and
definitions
Source: Climate Earth, Inc.
http://www.InsightMedia.Info
17. What Makes a Display Green?
• The green attributes of a display can be defined
• No accepted way to call a display product "green"
– Just shades of green-ness today
• Should meeting Energy Star ratings make it a green
display?
– Suppose the manufacturing and disposal are not eco-
friendly?
• Should guidelines in several categories be
established to qualify a product as green?
– Who sets the guidelines?
– How will they change over time?
– Who validates the results?
http://www.InsightMedia.Info
18. Where are we today?
• Green characteristics of benchmark 2009 display
products
• Green display specifications and trends
• Regulatory framework and trends
http://www.InsightMedia.Info
19. Where are we today?
Power Consumption
• Needed to establish baselines for green-related
specifications of commodity products available in
2009
– Reasonable definition of “green-ness” would be if a
product’s ecologically relevant characteristics
significantly exceeded this commodity baseline.
• Power consumption and energy efficiency features
of 2009 televisions compared to 2008 models
suggest some current sets are “greener”
– Practical difficulties with this view
– Before late 2008 there was no ratified standard method for
measuring flat panel TV power consumption
– Finalization of IEC 62087 Ed. 2 test procedure and its
adoption by US EPA for Energy Star 3.0 - there is now a
method for measuring energy consumption and comparing
current and subsequent set models.
http://www.InsightMedia.Info
20. Green Display Characteristics
in 2009
• Specifications and features of green display
products
– Power consumption
– Energy saving features
– Reduced shipping and packaging materials
– Reduced size and material content
– Reduction or elimination of hazardous substances
– Recyclability
– Use of recycled material in the product or manufacture
http://www.InsightMedia.Info
21. Green Display Characteristics
in 2009
• Display panel and set
manufacturers are
incorporating green
features in the design of
their products
• Ambient light sensors
and new concepts to use
eye tracking or proximity
sensors to turn off the
display if no one is
watching
Source: LG
http://www.InsightMedia.Info
22. Green Display Characteristics
in 2009 - recyclability
• Material choices
– Aluminum rather than thermo set polymer
– Recycled plastics
• Free of pollutants
– Mercury, lead, arsenic (in glass), and halogens
– Pollutants would have to be removed from the waste
stream
• Easy to disassemble and separate into their
component parts at end of life
• Reducing the size and material content
– Material that is never included in a product to begin with
does not have to be sourced, shipped, stocked,
disassembled, recycled or disposed of at all.

24. Regulatory Framework & Trends
• Regulation of displays is increasing
• Major outstanding questions
– Mandatory vs. Voluntary?
– Labeling vs. Laws?
– How will the cost of recycling be recovered?
– What are the business needs and opportunities for greener
displays?
• Need and opportunity to rationalize global requirements,
regulations, labeling initiatives, standards, and practices for
display products
– Currently at least 35 labeling programs for electronic equipment
worldwide - 9 in Asia, 7 in North America, 7 in Europe, and 5 in
Oceania
– Globally, recycling regulation is being applied predominately at
the national or federal level
– In US, there are widespread moves by state and local
governments to establish local recycling regulations
http://www.InsightMedia.Info
25. Where do we go from here?
• Serious need to simplify and clarify recycling
regulations and practices.
• Widespread proliferation of requirements,
regulations, labeling initiatives, standards, and
practices for green displays is bewildering - likely to
lead to increased industry costs, and consumer
confusion.
• Harmonizing requirements, regulations, labeling
initiatives, standards, and practices for green
displays at all levels – city, state, federal, region,
global – will absorb a great deal of effort and debate
for at least the next several years.
• Harmonization is essential if expenses and benefits
are to be optimized.
http://www.InsightMedia.Info
26. How will we know when we get there?
When we are …
• Realizing energy savings from displays
• Designing sets that are thinner and lighter
• Designing for the environment
• Designing for recycling
• Saving and making money through recycling
• Harmonizing global requirements and recycling
practices
http://www.InsightMedia.Info
27. Green Display Index
• Recyclability
– Recycled materials, smart design, smaller volume and
weight
• Eco Impact of Manufacturing and Distribution
– From manufacture to packaging and distribution
– Mfg energy, GHG emission, water use, waste stream,
recycled materials, hazardous materials
• Operational Efficiency
– Scaled by screen size
– Energy Star as first model
• Goal
– Set up numeric index for these parameters by year and
levels to be considered "green"
– Easy to communicate to the consumer (EPEAT model?)
http://www.InsightMedia.Info
28. Call to Action
• A display industry lobbying effort
is needed to:
– Influence the harmonization of WW
standards and regulations
– Help create a green display index
and roadmap
http://www.InsightMedia.Info
29. Thank You!
