6	To do Ecodesign is to save money! Ecodesign often means Less material Less energy Using less saves money! In production phase - save money for you In Use phase – save money for the user => They are willing to pay more!? Teach your customers how to calculate Life Cycle Cost It is not only the purchase price which is important, but also the use cost

10	EuP Directive Energy-using products including Products using energy during the use phase of the life cycle Not transports Significant volumes within the european union Product groups of at least 200 000 pieces a year Significant environmental impact Significant potential for improvement
11	EuP Ecodesign Study, Lot 3 Computers and Monitors Anna Karin Jönbrink
12	Product category Computers Desktops Laptops Monitors LCD CRT For future products and technologies Possibly other related products
13	Computers and monitors New models quite often Environmental impact Materials Production Transports Use End of life Can also have a big influence of environmental impact of other products and systems Transport logistics Energy systems … This is a big and complex group of products. focus on the important things (Art. 15, 4. (a) of 2005/32/EC)

15	Stakeholder involvement Website Workshop All interested stakeholders welcome to contribute!
16	Workshops Every lot may invite the stakeholders to workshops. The workshops must be open to every interested stakeholder. Object of the workshop is to Give stakeholders opportunities to give their view and to include them in the study and in the final report. Use the stakeholders to get data for the study
17	Website All lots must start up a website for their projects, which will be linked to the overall website at the Commission. http://europa.eu.int/comm/energy/demand/legislation/eco_design_en.htm They will reflect the progress of work and give a picture of the project to the stakeholders Results from sub-steps (VHK-method) will be published Invitations to workshops will be published Our website www.ecocomputer.org You can register at the website to get more information about the project
