An efficient product is cost-effective when the lifetime energy savings (from avoided energy costs over the life of the product, discounted to present value) exceed the additional up-front cost (if any) compared to a less efficient option. ENERGY STAR considers up-front costs and lifetime energy savings when setting required efficiency levels. Federal purchasers can assume ENERGY STAR-qualified products and products that meet FEMP-designated efficiency requirements are life cycle cost-effective. In high-use applications or when energy rates are above the federal average, purchasers may save more if they specify products that exceed federal efficiency requirements (e.g., the best available model).

Products meeting ENERGY STAR or FEMP-designated efficiency requirements may not be life cycle cost-effective in certain low-use applications or in locations with very low rates for electricity or natural gas. However, for most applications, purchasers will find that energy-efficient products have the lowest life cycle cost.

Agencies may claim an exception to federal purchasing requirements through a written finding that no FEMP-designated or ENERGY STAR-qualified product is available to meet functional requirements, or that no such product is life cycle cost-effective for the specific application.

These mandatory requirements apply to all forms of procurement, including construction guide and project specifications; renovation, repair, energy service, and operation and maintenance (O&M) contracts; lease agreements; acquisitions made using purchase cards; and solicitations for offers. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 23.206 requires agencies to insert the clause at FAR section 52.223-15 into contracts and solicitations that deliver, acquire, furnish, or specify energy-consuming products for use in federal government facilities. To comply with FAR requirements, FEMP recommends that agencies incorporate efficiency requirements into technical specifications, the evaluation criteria of solicitations, and the evaluations of solicitation responses.

Requirements to purchase energy-efficient products can sometimes be perceived as in conflict with other acquisition requirements, including Buy American, Small Business, or other set-asides. These requirements are not mutually exclusive. If you run into problems trying to meet multiple procurement requirements, please reach out to FEMP for assistance.

The federal supply sources for energy-efficient products are the General Services Administration (GSA) and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). GSA sells products through its Multiple Awards Schedules program and online shopping network, GSA Advantage!. DLA offers products through the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia and online through DOD EMALL. Products sold through DLA are codified with a 13-digit National Stock Number (NSN) and, in some cases, a two-letter Environmental Attribute Code (ENAC). The ENAC identifies items that have positive environmental characteristics and meet standards set by an approved third party, such as FEMP and ENERGY STAR.

The United Nations Standard Products and Services Code (UNSPSC) is a worldwide classification system for e-commerce. It contains more than 50,000 commodities, including many used in the federal sector, each with a unique eight-digit, four-level identification code. Manufacturers and vendors are beginning to adopt the UNSPSC classification convention and electronic procurement systems are beginning to include UNSPSC tracking in their software packages. UNSPSCs can help the federal acquisition community identify product categories covered by sustainable acquisition requirements, track purchases of products within those categories, and report on progress toward meeting sustainable acquisition goals. FEMP has developed a table of ENERGY STAR and FEMP-designated covered product categories and related UNSPSC numbers.

Some utilities offer rebates or other incentives for the purchase of ENERGY STAR-qualified products. Use the ENERGY STAR Rebate Finder to see if your local utility offers these incentives.

Manufacturers ship ENERGY STAR-qualified products with power management features enabled. Make sure that power management features are not disabled by the installer and are compatible with computers and operating systems in use. The highest energy savings are available when the display consistently operates in the lowest appropriate power mode.

Despite a common belief, screen savers do not save energy. In fact, more often than not, a screen saver will not only draw power, but will also keep any associated computer processors from shutting down. Enabling a display"s power management features and turning it off at night not only reduces energy use at the product level, but may also save cooling energy that is otherwise required to remove waste heat generated from the product.

Some displays (e.g., those used to program network servers) are actually in use for only a few hours per year. Leaving these displays off except when needed is a very cost-effective strategy and will not shorten the operating life of the display.

No matter where or how you want to get your message across, LED signage does the job in style. Equally appropriate indoors and outdoors, LED screens can deliver next-level performance along with significant energy savings — which makes it a sustainable signage solution. LED is more affordable than you might imagine, and with Samsung’s new trade-in, buy-back and cash rebate offers, it’s more affordable still.

LEDs are directional, meaning they emit light in just one direction rather than in an aura. So a low-watt LED appears just as bright as a larger traditional bulb, without wasting energy.

Older display technologies such as projectors actually generate more heat than they do light, but LEDs produce very little heat — so little heat that it’s, relatively speaking, negligible. LED screens are cool to the touch, which makes them safer, far more energy-efficient and much less likely to burn out.

LED displays have a much longer lifespan than other types of digital displays. A typical LED should be good for 50,000 to 100,000 hours — and some will last considerably longer. That’s at least twice the lifespan of a fluorescent bulb, and up to 40 times the lifespan of an incandescent bulb. This holds true even if your business needs your LED screen to be running 24/7.

Impressive energy efficiency is complemented by little need for maintenance, which means cost savings, less workflow disruption and minimized environmental impact.

Trade in your existing LCD— from any brand, whether it’s working or not — and save 30 percent on a new LED bundle kit. Samsung will remove the installed display and, if it’s still working, refurbish and resell it, also assessing the residual value, which you’ll receive as a cash rebate. If your existing display is not working, Samsung will identify any useable parts and transport them to the commodities market. By recycling the materials, you help reduce waste and give new life to your outdated technology.

When it comes to getting your business seen and making your brand widely understood, LED screens are the way forward. High impact, energy efficient and low maintenance, LED is a win-win-win for virtually any application.

With the increasing usage of digital screens, energy consumption has become a pressing issue for electronic display users worldwide. Thus, the energy efficiency of display screens becomes a crucial subject of making the lower power consumption energy-saving display design.

The term liquid crystal describes a substance that lies in a state between liquid and solid but exhibits the properties of both. Since their first observation in the 19th century, LCD technology has been enjoying various advancements, and currently, it accounts for an enormous share in the entire display market area.

LCD belongs to a non-emissive display category, and further, you can classify them as Passive matrix (PMLCD) and active matrix (AMLCD). The fundamental difference that exists between these two categories is in the way of addressing pixels for producing different luminance components of an image.

The power consumption of LCD is directly proportional to the drive frequency (as the frame rate lowers, the power consumption reduces) and the displayed image.

Electronic paper is a vigorous display technology that can rip off the traditional paper. Just as in the case of LCD, e-paper also belongs to the non-emissive display category, and here we do not need any backlight. It is because the ambient light from nature is enough.

It makes them thinner and efficient. As they are manufactured on a small scale, they are available at a high price. Several studies conclude that while using this technology, the consumption of displays rises strongly as per the size.

When looking at several options within the reflective display, you can find two significant candidates: E-ink display and  LCD. As they all carry different characteristics, you should look at the specific application to understand the power-efficient one.
