Sustainability is now making inroads in the Audio-Visual space – great news from an area where product performance has traditionally outweighed environmental issues. TCO Certified has now been recognized by InfoComm International’s new sustainability rating system for AV installations –STEP (Sustainability Technology Environments Program). As part of the program, TCO Certified projectors and monitors will be recommended for pro AV equipment purchases.
STEP will promote sustainable practices by the associations’ members and their customers. The rating system will be a tool for owners and technology providers to plan for and implement sustainable practices in their technology projects. By recommending TCO Certified products as part of STEP, buyers and installers can be assured they are choosing products designed for the environment, as well as high performance.
Soren Enholm, CEO of TCO Development, comments: “We are honored and excited to see TCO Certified as a recommendation in the STEP program. The TCO Certified eco-label offers the Pro AV community useful guidance in the selection of projection equipment designed for sustainability as well as optimal image quality. By choosing TCO Certified projectors and monitors, users can be assured of a product that delivers both high performance and sustainable design.”
Allen Weidman, sustainability officer, InfoComm International and executive director of the STEP Foundation comments: “InfoComm is delighted to include the TCO Certified designation as a tool for identifying sustainable technology products. The STEP program is dedicated to promoting existing sustainability designations that have been vetted and accepted by consumers.”

Last week the NEC Nordic Partner Event took place in Stockholm. I participated on day one which was the NEC Showcase Day.
The top management of NEC for Scandinavia and EMEA presented their visions and strategic directions and also new display series were launched.
At the exhibitions all frontline technology from NEC Displays solutions were demonstrated.
I found of course all the TCO Certified Projectors from NEC impressive. The new computer display MultiSync® EA222WMe with the TCO Certified Edge award for being free from halogen is a very nice example on cutting edge environmental technology.
The hottest release of the event was the introduction of NEC’s ultra thin computer display with the cool name Cool Office.
It is thin. It is cool. It is smart – it has sensors that feel when the user has left the display so it can turn to sleep mode and save lots of energy. I would say this product really proves that NEC can compete with Apple when it comes to combine nice design with usability and green features. What do you think?

Today at an NEC Nordic partner event in Saltsjöbaden, outside Stockholm, TCO Development handed over the first certificates of TCO Certified Projectors 1.0 to NEC.
We are happy to have NEC as our first customer on TCO Certified projectors. For me personally it was very rewarding to participate in the event and get positive feedback on all the work we have put in to this project for the last two years. There is more to read at our web site. will get back to all of you with more information on the products and how we hope the criterions will be useful for you when you consider buying a projector next time I am blogging!
