Philips CE Tree Energy Efficiency Mobile Showhome

In conjunction with the Philips commitment to energy efficiency, Philips collaborated with CeTree (Center for Education and Training on Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency). The Philips-Cetree Energy-Efficient Mobile Showhomeis the first time Philips and Cetree have collaborated on such a project (although not the first time Cetree has done this project). This mobile showhome will be taken on a roadshow to rural areas over the next six months.

The engine applies a multiplicity fuel system developed together with Engine Technology (ELSBETT) to enable the diesel engine to use any vegetable oils, but in this case, the engine will be run on 100% palm oil.

The Mobile Showhome also has its own energy system which provides for 100% electricity power. The LCD screen and digital video, fan, fluorescent lamps, laptop, refrigerator and coffee maker all use solar energy. The solar cell system used here consists of six solar panels.

There are five knowledge kiosks contained in the Mobile Showhome:

• General knowledge about renewable energy
• Energy Efficient Electrical Equipment
• Solar Thermal
• Solar Electric
• Biomass

Philips lighting products on energy efficiency is also set up in this mobile unit

The Philips-Cetree Energy Efficient Mobile Showhome is designed to address energy issues by educating people in rural areas on the need for energy conservation and alternative energy sources.

Philips can save Malaysia RM400mil in lighting / energy efficiency

-Philips research shows that if every household in Malaysia each replaced 60W incandescent lamps with three 11W CFLs, this would lead to energy savings of close to 1.5billion kWhrs. Given that Malaysia has 5.5 million households, this would mean almost RM400 million in savings per year.

*Based on switching from an average of 3 units of 60 watts incandescent lamps per household to energy saving lamps and 5.5 million households in Malaysia

-Providing cost savings to any household, the use of ONE Philips energy-saver (CFLi) for five hours a day instead of ONE ordinary incandescent lamp can save a household up to RM20 annually. Multiply that by the number of lightbulbs in the average household…

-According to Theo van Deursen, CEO of Philips Lighting, “with new lighting technology available today, savings of up to $143 billion on energy costs are possible, reducing CO2 output by 592 million tons per year. This equates to up to 1560 million barrels of oil annually.”

-Philips has invested more than EUR 400 million in energy efficient lighting R&D and will invest EUR 100 million on top of that per year.

-Philips was one the first that called for joint action between the lighting industry, non-governmental organizations, energy suppliers and governments to replace the incandescent bulb with energy-saving alternatives as soon as possible.

(Eg. In Europe – December 2007, In Washington USA – March 2007.)

-Philips has energy efficient campaigns running in all major regions in the world including APAC.
