AC/HP Test Methods 2.0 – Phase 2 Findings Summary
Air conditioner (AC) / Heat Pumps (HP) Test Methods Project 2.0 – Phase 2 Findings Summary
Literature Summary of Lifetime Testing of Light Emitting Diodes and LED Products
A summary of the literature on lifetime definitions for LEDs and LED products, including a look at failure mechanisms, accelerated life tests and test methods for estimating lifetime, and provides some recommendations. There is currently no agreement as to which test method can best estimate the lifetime of LED lighting products and the report thus addresses a key issue for regulators and industry interested in deployment of LED technologies

Report on the EMSA Survey on digitalisation in electric motor driven systems
The report summarises the results of the EMSA Survey on the potential impact of digital technologies on electric motor driven systems in industrial companies.
Retrofitting Connectivity for Energy Benefits
This report examines the retrofit solutions on the market today to identify those that could be leveraged to achieve energy benefits in otherwise unconnected residential products.
Harnessing IoT for Energy Benefits
This report examines the landscape of residential IoT products and the functions within those products that can be leveraged to yield energy benefits. These functions include monitoring via on- board sensors and internal or external data feeds, and controls that can reside within or external to the product. We examine the extent to which products possess these functions today, the energy benefits products can achieve with those functions, and the appropriateness of adding additional functions to achieve additional energy benefits.
Total Energy Model V2.0 for Connected Devices
This report describes updates to the Total Energy Model that was developed by EDNA to estimate the ‘total energy use’ of connected devices, globally.
