ercent of Energy Star Compliant Equipment Enabled
in the Field
Currently only a small fraction of Energy Star CPUs and
monitors ship with the power saving features enabled, but this is expected
to change because the new Energy Star memorandum of understanding (MOU),
which requires all devices to ship enabled, took effect in Fall 1995. We
expect that most of the early technical issues surrounding Energy Star equipment
will have been overcome by 2000 and that the energy saving features will
be built into the equipment as a matter of course. Table 7 shows the percentage
of Energy Star Compliant equipment that we assume will be enabled in our
various Energy Star cases. These percentages are applied through the entire
forecast period. |
