ANNEX IIMethod for calculating the Energy Efficiency Index and the annual on-mode energy consumption

1.The Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) is calculated as EEI = P/Pref (A), where:

  • Pref (A)

    Pbasic + A × 4,3224 Watts/dm2,

  • Pbasic

    20 Watts for television sets with one tuner/receiver and no hard disc,

  • Pbasic

    24 Watts for television sets with hard disc(s),

  • Pbasic

    24 Watts for television sets with two or more tuners/receivers,

  • Pbasic

    28 Watts for television sets with hard disc(s) and two or more tuners/receivers,

  • Pbasic

    15 Watts for television monitors,

  • A is the visible screen area expressed in dm2,

  • P is the on-mode power consumption of the television in Watts measured in accordance with Annex VII, rounded to one decimal place.

2.

The annual on-mode energy consumption E in kWh is calculated as E = 1,46 × P.

3.Televisions with automatic brightness control

For the purposes of calculating the Energy Efficiency Index and the annual on-mode energy consumption referred to in points 1 and 2, the on-mode power consumption as established according to the procedure set out in Annex VII is reduced by 5 % if the following conditions are fulfilled when the television is placed on the market:

  1. (a)

    the luminance of the television in the home-mode or the on-mode condition as set by the supplier, is automatically reduced between an ambient light intensity of at least 20 lux and 0 lux;

  2. (b)

    the automatic brightness control is activated in the home-mode condition or the on-mode condition of the television as set by the supplier.
