The Commission of the European Union (EU) has released an extensive technical study of possible eco‑design approaches that could be used to produce more energy efficient computers and computer monitors.
 
The study, Preparatory Studies for Eco‑Design Requirements of EuPs, is one of several developed for the Commission to assist manufacturers in their efforts to comply with the essential provisions of the EU’s energy using products (EuP) directive (2005/32/EC). The stated objective of these studies “is to find out whether and which eco‑design requirements could improve the environmental performance throughout the (product’s) life cycle.”
 
Our readers can view the complete text of the EU Commission’s study at  this link. (Note that the entire report is over 300 pages long.)
