- up had greater precision24 

# Issues for Discussion

Issue A*

- DOE requests comment from interested parties on each of the four proposed test set

- up specifications: (1) a 1000 lumen halogen incandescent PAR 30S type lamp shall be used to generate light for testing, ( 2) the test set

- up shall be configured in the distance test set

- up, ( 3) all 4 corners of the TV shall be aligned equidistant to a vertical reference plane, and ( 4) illuminance values shall be measured at the sensor.

* Issue 17 in section V.E of SNOPR.25 

# Analysis of Round Robin Testing

• Many TVs reached saturation at values as low as 10 lux with the adjacent test set

- up

• TVs responded very different to the test set

- ups even though they were measured to be the same illuminance values

• Based on these observations DOE performed additional testing to investigate these cases26

• Based on stakeholder feedback and round robin testing, DOE reevaluated the values proposed in the NOPR

• Collaborative Labeling and Appliance Standards Program (CLASP)* research indicates

– 89% of viewership occurs between 0 and 100 lux

– Viewership rarely occurs at 300 lux



## • CEA proposed an illuminance value of 3 lux for ABC on mode testing

* CLASP Analysis of Background Illuminance Levels During Television Viewing36 

# SNOPR Proposal: Illuminance Values

SNOPR Proposal

• DOE maintains proposal of 4 equally weighted illuminance values

• DOE proposes illuminance values of:

– 3 ± 1 lux

– 12 ± 1 lux

– 35 ± 2 lux

– 100 ± 5 lux



## Issue C *

- DOE seeks comment from interested parties on the proposed illuminance values of 3 ± 1 lux, 12 ± 1 lux, 35 ± 2 lux, and 100 ± 5 lux.

* Issue 18 in section V.E of SNOPR.37 

# Neutral Density Filter Testing

• DOE wishes to harmonize with CEA and therefore tested both methods for creating 3 lux

• Verification testing performed:

– Three TVs with ABC sensors – TVs 1, 3, and 5

– Used the distance test set

- up

– Without an IR filter Draft CEA

- 2037
- A

• CEA proposed two methods for achieving 3 lux

– Measure 3 lux at the ABC sensor with the illuminance meter

– Measure 12 lux at the ABC sensor with the illuminance and then place a 2 stop neutral density (ND) filter in front of the sensor, resulting in 3 lux38

# Standby

- Active, High Mode

NOPR Proposal

• Incorporated by reference CEA Test Procedure for Download Acquisition Mode (DAM)

• Test procedure incorporated to test standby

- active, high mode70 

# Standby

- Active, High Mode

• Following the NOPR, DOE attempted to provide clarification for the CEA DAM test procedure

• DOE determined that this test is not appropriate based on the following:

– Test is designed for hospitality TVs

– Test is not designed for all networks (i.e. Wi

- Fi, Ethernet)

– Test requires specific work loads and equipment from manufacturer or manufacturer involvement

– Different work loads could result in different power consumptions

– The practical approach requires knowledge of the duration the TV spends in DAM

– The theoretical approach is conducted over 24 hours71 

# SNOPR Proposal: Standby

- DOE requests comment from interested parties on the removal of the standby

- active, high mode test , while maintaining a definition for the mode

.

* Issue 23 in section V.E of SNOPR.72 

# Standby

- Active, L ow Mode

• ENERGY STAR v. 6.0 TV Specification currently tests standby

active, low mode

• DOE believes that this mode is more representative for network

- enabled TVs NOPR Proposal

• DOE considered but did not propose a test for standby

active, low mode73 

# SNOPR Proposal: Standby

- Active , Low Mode

SNOPR Proposal

• DOE proposes to include the standby

- active, low mode test from ENERGY STAR v. 6.0 TV Specification

• All network enabled TVs would be tested in standby

- active, low mode rather than standby

- passive74 

# Standby

- Active , Low Mode

• DOE is also proposing the same network connection hierarchy as ENERGY STAR v. 6.0 TV Specification

• Local Area Network (LAN)

– Ensures a connection to a network without actively transferring data

Priority Network Connection Type 1 Wi

- Fi (IEEE 802.11)
2 Ethernet (IEEE 802.3)/ Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) 3 75 ohm Coax Cable (i.e. RG

- 6, RG

- 59/U) 4 RJ

- 11 5 Other75 

# Issues for Discussion

Issue O*

- DOE requests comment from interested parties on the addition of a standby

- active, low mode power measurement test. DOE also requests comments on the proposed network hierarchy.

# Energy Efficiency Metrics

NOPR Proposal Output metrics Power Consumption:

• On mode

• Standby

- active, high mode

• Standby

- passive mode

• Off mode
Calculations:

• Luminance ratio78 

# Energy Efficiency Metrics

• DOE proposes the following updates:

– Remove standby

- active, high mode

– Add standby

- active, low mode

– Include power factor in output metrics



## • In the NOPR, DOE required that power factor be measured

• DOE also considered an annual energy consumption (AEC) metric in the NOPR

• DOE proposes an AEC as part of the output metrics in the SNOPR79 

# Energy Efficiency Metrics80 

# Energy Efficiency Metrics

• DOE considered an hourly weighting in the NOPR

• Further analysis of Nielsen’s data indicated 5 hours of viewing in on mode is a typical average over all TVs

• NOPR analysis considered only primary TVs

Considered NOPR Hourly Weightings* Proposed SNOPR Hourly Weightings On mode 7 hours On mode 5 hours
Standby

- passive mode 17 hours Standby

- passive mode/ standby

- active low mode** 19 hours

Off Mode 0 hours Off mode 0 hours

* DAM was not weighted, but added directly in the AEC ** The mode not tested is weighted 0 hours81 

# SNOPR Proposal: Energy Efficiency Metrics

SNOPR Proposal

Output metrics Power Consumption:

• On mode

• Standby

- active, low mode

• Standby

- passive mode

• Off mode
Calculations:

• Luminance ratio

• Annual Energy Consumption Metric

– Updated AEC hourly weightings

• Power factor82 

# Issues for Discussion

Issue P*

- DOE requests comment from interested parties on the multiple output metrics, including the annual energy consumption metric. DOE also requests comment on its proposed hourly weighting for the annual energy consumption metric.

# Sampling Plan84 

# Sampling Plan85 

# Issues for Discussion

Issue Q *

- DOE requests comment from interested parties regarding its proposed sampling plan for on mode power consumption , which specifies a divisor of 1.05 , and for standby mode and other power consumption values that are not on mode, which specifies a divisor of 1.10.

* Issue 2 in section V.E of SNOPR

# Rounding Requirement

• All values made for representation shall be rounded

• All input values to the AEC shall be rounded prior to calculating AEC

SNOPR Proposal Modes of Operation Annual Energy Consumption

• Values 10 W or less than shall be rounded to the nearest hundredth of a watt

• Values greater than 10 W and up to 100 W shall be rounded to the nearest tenth of a watt

• Values greater than 100 W shall be rounded to the nearest watt • Values less than 100 KWh shall be rounded to the nearest tenth of a KWh

• Values greater than 100 KWh shall be rounded to the nearest KWh87 

# Issues for Discussion

Issue R*

- DOE requests comment on the proposed rounding requirements for representing a TV’s on mode, standby

active, low mode, and standby

- passive mode power consumption.
