ANNEX II U.K. Method for calculating the Energy Efficiency Index and the annual on-mode energy consumption

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

• P_ref (A)

  =

  P_basic + A × 4,3224 Watts/dm²,

• P_basic

  =

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

• P_basic

  =

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

• P_basic

  =

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

• P_basic

  =

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

• P_basic

  =

  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. U.K.

3. Televisions with automatic brightness control U.K.

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:

(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;

(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.
