● Energy consumption in the residential sector has made a steady increase due to changes in the social structure (e.g. increase of number of households).
● Despite the fact that energy efficiency of individual appliances has been improving, energy consumption per household remains on the same level, due to lifestyle change and other factors.

Example of Top Runner Method
● Under Energy Conservation Law, energy conservation standards for appliances and vehicles are determined by Top Runner method, and manufacturers (vendors) are obligated to meet the standards. For those failing to comply with the obligation, punitive actions (e.g. recommendation , publication of failure , order, penal charge up to 1 million yen) are taken against.
● From FY 2006, the target products are increased to 21. LCD and plasma TV sets, electric rice cookers, microwave ovens, etc. are newly added.

(1) Target standard value (standard energy consumption efficiency):It is product’s annual energy consumption, expressed as energy consumption efficiency. Taking the best annual energy consumption (kWh/year) as a base, target standard values are decided with an allowance for technological improvement.
(2) Category:For TV sets, products are classified by display device (CRT, LCD, or plasma), aspect ratio, number of pixels, TV receiver size, with/without DVD play function, and other additional functions.
(3) Target fiscal year:For CRT TV sets, the target fiscal year is FY 2003 and every fiscal year after that (the standard was developed in FY 1999).For LCD and plasma TV sets, the target fiscal year is FY 2008 and every fiscal year after that (the standard was developed in FY 2005).
(4) Method for evaluation of achievement:Achievement is judged based on a weighted average for each category per manufacturers (vendors).
(5) Measurement method:Measurement method which takes into account hours of use based on the actual status is adopted.
(6) Display:Product’s annual energy consumption is required to be displayed in catalogs, on product bodies, etc.

● Energy-Saving Labeling Program was started in Year 2000. The purpose of this program is to promote popularization of highly energy efficient products, by means of providing information to consumers on their energy efficient performance.
● Although it is a voluntary program based on JIS standards, Energy-Saving Labels are actively utilized in product catalogs by manufacturers and point-of-purchase displays at retail stores.

● In order to promote further positive purchase of energy efficient products among consumers, a labeling program for retailers regarding an easily-understandable label on performance was introduced.
● In the revised Energy Conservation Law that went into effect in April 2006, obligation of retailers to make efforts for information provision was included. The program was officially launched in October 2006.

[Multistage rating system]• Energy saving performance of a product is rated according to 5-level criteria. From the best performance to the worst, products in the market are expressed as from 5-star to 1-star. • In order to clarify how many stars are given to products meeting Top Runner standards, arrows are displayed under the stars to show a borderline of 100% achievement of the standards.
[Energy-Saving Labeling Program]• Green symbol is for products meeting Top Runner standards, and orange symbol is for ones failing to meet the standards. • Top Runner standard achievement percentage and energy consumption efficiency (e.g. annual energy consumption) are also displayed.
[Expected annual electricity bill]• Expected annual electricity bill is included, in order to make energy consumption efficiency (e.g. annual energy consumption) easily understood.

● If the multistage rating standards are rigid, it is predicted that the whole distribution is biased toward the better, because of efficiency improvement resulting from model changes. For this reason, the standards shall be revised periodically.
● A research shall be conducted annually. If it finds that the ratio of products meeting Top Runner standards increases by 30 % or more compared to the status at the development of the standards, the multistage rating standards shall be revised.
● Revision of multistage rating standards shall take place on April 1st annually.

Expected Annual Electricity Bill and Expected Annual Fuel UseExpected Annual Electricity Bill and Expected Annual Fuel Use
● In the labeling program for retailers, expected annual electricity bill or expected annual fuel use shall be displayed for products, including target products of Uniform Energy Saving Label.
● When displaying the information, prerequisites for the calculation shall be described in brochures, posters, and/or orally described by store staff at retail shops.
● In the labeling program for retailers, expected annual electricity bill or expected annual fuel use shall be displayed for products, including target products of Uniform Energy Saving Label.
● When displaying the information, prerequisites for the calculation shall be described in brochures, posters, and/or orally described by store staff at retail shops.
<Examples of Prerequisites>
[Electric refrigerator]
Expected annual electricity bill is obtained by multiplying annual energy consumption (kWh/year) by 22 (yen/kWh). This annual energy consumption is calculated based on the average actual status of use (ambient temperature; 30 ºC and 15 ºC, opening/closing of doors: 35 times/day, etc.). The expected annual electricity bill may vary depending on your status of use, power company, etc.
[Gas water heater]
Expected annual fuel use is calculated assuming a family of 3 as a standard; therefore, it may vary depending on number of your family members, etc. Upon the calculation, it is assumed that feed-water temperature is annual average 15 ºC, and supply-hot-water temperature is converted to 40 ºC.
