The Certification Mark is a registered trademark that may only
be used with products that have been certified to meet
ENERGY STAR performance requirements
•
EPA partners with product brand owners, retailers, and EEPS
to promote energy efficiency of products, homes, and
buildings; these partners agree to abide by EPA’s ENERGY
STAR program identity guidelines prior to using the logo
•
EPA monitors the use of the ENERGY STAR label and name
in trade media, advertisements, and the internet to ensure
they are applied properly and consistently in the marketplace
•
EPA is exploring ways to allow and encourage developers to
automatically associate the ENERGY STAR with models in
the products APIs (e.g. terms of use)

Agenda 1 ENERGY STAR Products Overview 2 Product Finder Tools Overview Product Finder Tools Features and Walk- through 3 4 Dataset Changes Process 5 Next Steps and Questions 9
Partner to Product List Process Publicly Accessible Information Laboratory: Accredited Product Finders ENERGY STAR Partner Certification Body (CB) EPA ENERGY STAR APIs ENERGY STAR Laboratory: CB Witnessed/ Supervised Product Lists Days to weeks 1 day
How Data is Clustered Data targeting increasing CB data sent to EPA Product Lists (datasets, APIs) Product Finder Tools 11
Product Finder Tool Overview Public-facing tool consumers, retailers, utilities and other stake- holders use to access product data www.energystar.gov/productfinder Partner Benefits: Provide better access to EPA product data for all stakeholders Improve the ability to find product data Improve data quality Model data updated daily Models searchable by brand, model name, model number, additional information
Product Finder Search Additional models and information search Partial matches (fuzzy logic) searchable EPA encourages grouping of models 13
Product Lists Overview Updated daily Custom filters and embed options for retailers, partners, media Export options including Excel, .csv, APIs One portal where stakeholders access certified products* data.energystar.gov *Excludes Windows, Non-AHRI CAC/ASHPs, and BCS 14
API Overview All product list fields available via APIs Intended users: Energy efficiency program sponsors Retailers Third-party use for mash-ups of data We eat our own dog food ENERGY STAR product finders use APIs 15
Agenda 1 ENERGY STAR Products Overview 2 Product Finder Tools Overview Product Finder Tools Features and Walk- through 3 4 Dataset Changes Process 5 Next Steps and Questions 16
Product Finder Links Product ID (PD_ID field) creates unique links for model + spec version: www.energystar.gov/productfinder/product/certified-light-bulbs/details/2209354 Consumers can verify as ENERGY STAR Compare up to four models: details/PD ID 1/PD ID 2/PD ID 3/PD ID 4 17
Product Finder Filters Sort and filter by key product attributes 18
Product Finder Details Compare key product attributes 19
Product Finder Features Click Switch to Advanced View or start at data.energystar.gov 20
Advanced View Features Create account to save and share work Filter lists Create visuals (pie charts, bar graphs, etc) Embed filtered data or visual Export data Learn more in the How to Create Data Visualizations Guide at energystar.gov/productfinder 21
Advanced View Features: Filters Sample filters available Product Category Unique filters Cross-cutting filters Load configuration Connected functionality ENERGY STAR Most Efficient US federal standard Water use ENERGY STAR Most Efficient Connected functionality ENERGY STAR Most Efficient Reverse cycle Brand name Model name, model number, additional model information ENERGY STAR unique model identifier Date qualified Date available on market Markets Energy use Efficiency ratios Capacity Product type Meets ENERGY STAR Most Efficient Criteria Clothes washers Dishwashers Refrigerators Room air conditioners Light bulbs Technology Base type Light Output CCT CRI Special features Power factor Life Rating Warranty Dimming capability Configuration Door options Refrigerant type Commercial refrigerators and freezers 22
Advanced View Features: Filters Example: Find the subset of products that meet a particular efficiency threshold above ENERGY STAR MEF greater than 2.39 and WF less than 4.1 (CEE Tier 3) Filter view: Click Filter Click on PD_ID and change it to the attribute you want to filter 23
Advanced View Features: Charts Determine the attributes you want to compare Structure data using the Sort & Roll-Up function in the Filter view Following example is for looking at bulb type availability (perhaps you want to start promoting specialty type bulbs) 24
Advanced View Features: Charts Group By allows comparison of items for the field selected (e.g., Bulb type) Roll-Up is what you would like to count (e.g., model numbers) Click Apply and Save to use filter later 25
Advanced View Features: Charts Click Visualize Select chart type (e.g., bar chart) 26
Advanced View Features: Charts Format Chart Select Chart Definitions Customize colors, x and y axis names, etc 27
Advanced View: Embed Filtered Views Example: monitor your portfolio of ENERGY STAR certified products Filter by brand, partner, date qualified, etc. Create custom list through Product ID filter Link directly to filtered view 28
Advanced View: Webpage Embedding Embed filters, charts, and graphs into stakeholder webpages 29
Advanced View: Webpage Embedding Customize filtered view name, field order, fields shown, and sorting 30
Advanced View: Filter by ENERGY STAR Most Efficient Lists of products meeting 2014 criteria 31
Advanced View: Exports Spreadsheet export at top of product finders Product list export file options including CSV, JSON, PDF, RDF, RSS, XLS, XLSX, and XML 32
Custom Tool: Additional Models Segmenting Macro for searching models against additional models list Segments additional identifying information field Available at energystar.gov/productfinder 33
APIs Application Programming Interface (API) Publishes Certified Products Data in machine readable format Accessible to any application with a connection to the web All of the tools mentioned today are built off of the API Open and free for anyone to use data.energystar.gov/developers 34
Data Tools: APIs Product Finder Applications Product Lists Your Apps! Products API 35
ENERGY STAR Logo The Certification Mark is a registered trademark that may only be used with products that have been certified to meet ENERGY STAR performance requirements EPA partners with product brand owners, retailers, and EEPS to promote energy efficiency of products, homes, and buildings; these partners agree to abide by EPA s ENERGY STAR program identity guidelines prior to using the logo EPA monitors the use of the ENERGY STAR label and name in trade media, advertisements, and the internet to ensure they are applied properly and consistently in the marketplace EPA is exploring ways to allow and encourage developers to automatically associate the ENERGY STAR with models in the products APIs (e.g. terms of use)
Agenda 1 ENERGY STAR Products Overview 2 Data Tools Overview Product Finder Tools Features and Walk- through 3 4 Dataset Changes Process 5 Next Steps and Questions 37
