Percent 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.
