Sample Procurement Language
The following is an example of language you may wish to require in your upcoming contract:
The Vendor Must:
Provide ceiling fans and ceiling fans with lighting that earn the ENERGY STAR and meet the ENERGY STAR specifications for airflow and energy efficiency as outlined below. The vendor is encouraged to visit www.energystar.gov for complete product specifications and an updated list of qualifying products.
| Fan Speed | Minimum Airflow | Efficiency Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Low | 1,250 CFM | 155 CFM/watt |
| Medium | 2,500 CFM | 110 CFM/watt |
| High | 5,000 CFM | 75 CFM/watt |
| Controls |
|---|
| Convenient adjustment of fan speed (through use of wall switches, pull chains, or remote control) |
| Lights and fan must be able to be controlled separately to allow users to operate the fan without the lights and vice versa |
All integral and attachable light kits must meet the requirements of the ENERGY STAR Residential Light Fixture specification. Similarly, attachable light kits, sold separately, must also meet the requirements of the residential light fixture specification. Partners should use the Ceiling Fan Qualified Product Information (QPI) form to report qualifying light kits. Visit the ENERGY STAR Web site at www.energystar.gov/partners, to review and download the Residential Light Fixtures Program Requirements. Qualifying residential ceiling fans sold without integral or attachable light kits must provide information on product packaging or with product instructions regarding ENERGY STAR qualifying light kits that may be used with that particular residential ceiling fan.
NOTE: Models sold with light kits or integrated light sources must be tested with those light sources mounted in their intended position and switched off. Through October 2004, individual models' measured performance may vary by +/- 5 percent and still be deemed compliant with this specification.
