Objective Assessment of present power load and electricity consumption of officeeEquipment energy end-use sector and building scale, and in real time, including:- actual conditions of use of Energy Star labellised systems;- side effects such as tariffs policy, power quality, influence on heat losses and cooling needs;- analysis of improved/new technologies: 'Hydras' (i.e. Copier/Printer or Fax/telephone answering machine,...) larger screen size monitors, more powerful microprocessors, multiprocessor workstation,...;- 24 H/24 operating time (worldwide communications,...);- users and purchasers behaviour;- obstacles to the dissemination of suc energy-efficient technologies onto the market;- life-cycle analysis particularly the waste management of obsolete or end-of-life equipment.The project is organised in several runs:- Meetings and Seminars intending to accelerate and/or improve the dissemination of such energy-efficient technologies onto the market;- Monitoring campaigns through fields measurements in all 3 countries and identification of possible extra partners, possibly concerned, in other european countries;- Permanent contacts with manufacturers and policy-makers in order to establish updated guidelines in the framework of a possible worldwide Energy Star Programme;- Cooperation with other organisations and/or Institutions worldwide sharing a similar concern such as IEA, Lawrence Berkerley National Lab., Asian Institute of Technology (Bangkok - Thailand),...
