US EPA Requests Input on Dataset for Energy Star for Large Network Equipment Specification


20 September 2013

Authored by: US EPA

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) are launching an effort to create a dataset to inform the development of the Version 1.0 ENERGY STAR Specification for Large Network Equipment (LNE). EPA has released Draft 1 ENERGY STAR Test Method and the complementary Test Reporting Template, and a memo with additional test setup guidance. This guidance reflects an update to the testing requirements and shall take precedence over the Draft 1 Test Method.

The goal of this effort is to understand the energy efficiency of LNE products currently being sold. EPA is striving to assemble a data set that reflects the market today and will use all data submitted on the Test Reporting Template via email to largenetwork@energystar.gov by December 20th, 2013.

DOE and EPA are interested in data on the following products:
- Products with fixed port configurations
- Products with both fixed ports and expandable ports with the expandable ports left unpopulated
