GEC invites stakeholders to participate in the review and drafting of proposed criteria for product-specific energy efficiency criteria. These criteria would be supplemental to the existing product energy efficiency criteria in the Draft Climate Change Mitigation criteria document. GEC’s State of Sustainability Research for Climate Change Mitigation serves as the science-based foundation for this work.
GEC will convene an Expert Ad Hoc Group to review the criteria proposed for computers & displays, servers, and TVs. Based on available data, GEC is not proposing additional product-specific energy efficiency criteria for mobile phones and imaging equipment but welcomes stakeholder technical input for these product categories as well.
Expert Ad Hoc Group(s) will review, provide feedback, and make recommendations on draft criteria and definitions. The work of the Expert Ad Hoc Group(s) will start in September 2022 and is expected to continue for 6-8 weeks. The Group(s) will meet by teleconference and provide offline review and comment on drafts. Stakeholders with relevant expertise are encouraged to participate, including, but not limited to, manufacturers, government policy, purchasers, non-governmental organizations, academics, and component and material suppliers.
If you are interested in participating in this Expert Ad Hoc Group, please send an email to CRITERIA@gec.org by September 16, 2022. Please also provide a brief summary of your background and experience with the topic.
Please contact the project lead, Erica Logan (elogan@gec.org) with any questions.
