The challenge

• 6,5 billion people are living in earth in2006
• 1,2 average annual increase of world population
  
• 1,5 billion people without access to electricity
  (2003)
• However electrification is in progress

Average annual consumption per capita 0,52
MWh In addition more a country is reach more
inhabitants use light

• 6,3 k par annum average world GDP per capita
• 4 average annual GDP increase (10 for China)

Consumption x 2 within 2 decades

Main outputs

• Innovative methods to promote CFLs. Also
  innovative consumer communication messages will
  be developed and mass-media (TV, radio, press)
  will be targeted.
• Recommendations for European and/or National
  inciting measures for promoting CFLs.
• A new version of the EU CFL-Quality Charter
  standard coupled with a CEN-STAR trend analysis
  workshop.
• Scientific validated arguments concerning some
  technical questions on CFL optimal operating
  conditions.
• Methodologies to assess the electricity and
  carbon saving resulting from CFL campaigns.
• Web based Training modules for all target groups
  (retailers, consumers, deciders).
• Web based Energy Conservation Performance
  Catalogue.
• Web based database concerning the CFL market
  evolution in Western Europe including projections
  for the next decade

Action 2Understanding Training the Consumer
Barriers to overcome

• Consumer dislikes classic CFL shapes, and, CFLs
  misfit often to design luminaries
• Consumer dislikes colour temperature rendering
  of CFLs
• Good quality CFLs are still expensive, and,
  inexpensive CFLs arent reliable
• Return time is short but diluted and not
  directly observable
• Plug Play CFLs arent dimmable
• Consumer need all light instantaneously but CFLs
  need time to warm-up
• CFL dislikes rapid (or random) ON-OFF cycle and
  is incompatible with presence detectors
• CFL power supply dislikes mains voltage
  fluctuations

How to proceed ?

• Inform consumer about new shapes and luminaries
  for CFLs
• Design promotional campaigns with valid and
  attractive arguments
• Put in the box clear and understandable
  information about colour
• Train consumer where to put and how to use
  correctly a CFL
• Define rules and create facilities for
  guaranteeing CFL quality and reliability
• Clearly identify reliable CFL and indicated with
  a pictogram on the box

Action 5Training

• We are fine-tuning several e-learning courses
• 5 modules - 4 different languages
• Multilingual excel calculators
• Set of slides for illumination training at higher
  level
• 2 guides for energy efficient lighting with
  exemples
• A basic course referred to the ENEA booklet
  sustainable development energy saving with
  lighting. The second course is addressed to
  technicians in lighting.

Lessons Learnt

• Artificial light generation is a fundamental need
  for human being. This seems to be a very general
  lesson, however it has a very strait forward
  incidence to all Energy Efficient Lighting
  schemes that can be proposed for implementation
  end-user is very conservative and reluctant to
  new lighting solutions especially when they dont
  satisfy some aspects related to quality of life.
  Energy saving due to light is considered as
  important by population but it pass always is
  second plan after quality of life and comfort.
  This implies that, especially in Residential
  sector any EEL project for market transformation
  has to take into account this behaviour otherwise
  it condemned to fall.
• End-user is very regarding on CFL Quality. Low
  quality devices pollute the market and
  seriously impede the increase of market
  penetration of that energy efficient technology.
  A systematic CFL-quality control is imposed in EU
  level following a well-defined unique testing
  protocol and associated with readable and
  compulsory labelling.
• There is a significant lack of knowledge and data
  on the penetration and the trends in use of
  various lighting technologies in households. This
  is especially true in Eastern European countries,
  therefore it is difficult to clearly articulate
  what we would like to achieve with a campaign and
  whom exactly we could target in order to increase
  efficient light sources penetration.
• Energy efficient lighting has become a more and
  more relevant topic in all sectors private
  consumers, public authorities, and in
  enterprises. Increasing costs for energy and
  maintenance, environmental debates, and several
  EU Directives have especially increased the
  demand for energy saving solutions in
  municipalities. Also in the sector of private
  end-consumers the awareness for environmental
  integrity and high-energy prices has lead to a
  rethinking in the use of energy saving lighting.
  However, the potential for the implementation of
  environmental friendly and cost saving lighting
  measurements is still very high. Initiatives such
  as EnERLIn play a major part in promoting such
  technologies and help to overcome barriers.
