  1. OVERVIEW OF IDEA: Energy Efficient Household Refrigerators • Largest household energy consumer • Holds 30.9% of large kitchen appliance market • Large potential for energy efficiency • Consumer trend towards non-conventional design

  2. Improvements: • Increased insulation • Forced Convection inside and out • Cylindrical geometry • Optimized coil and compressor geometry and location • Easer to access and clean • Air curtain and plug seal

  3. TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY: • Natural to forced convection yields 5-10x improvement • 200 W loss while closed! • 400 W loss when open! • Cylindrical geometry 12.5% less surface area • drastically improves insulation MARKET: • Demand for unique and customized design • Lighter, brighter, easier to clean surfaces • Greater visibility of contents • ~10 million units/year • $500-$2000 target price • Rebate for energy efficient appliances
