Term	Term Definition	Options	Unit of Measure
Component	A television product composed of two or more separate components (e.g., display device and tuner) that is marketed and sold as a television under a single model or system designation. A component television may have more than one power cord.	View	None
Computer monitor	An electronic device, typically with a diagonal screen size greater than 12 inches and a pixel density greater than 5,000 pixels per square inch (pixels/in2), that displays a computer's user interface and open programs, allowing the user to interact with the computer, typically using a keyboard and mouse.	View	None
Computer Type	A device which performs logical operations and processes data. For the purposes of this specification, computers include both stationary and portable units, including Desktop Computers, Integrated Desktop Computers, Notebook Computers, Small-Scale Servers, Thin Clients, and Workstations.	View	None
Conference	A Telephone without a handset that utilizes a speakerphone for all communications and is primarily used for conference calls.	View	None
Controller system	A computer or computer server that manages a benchmark evaluation process. The controller system performs the following functions: start and stop each segment (phase) of the performance benchmark; control the workload demands of the performance benchmark; start and stop data collection from the power analyzer so that power and performance data from each phase can be correlated; store log files containing benchmark power and performance information; convert raw data into a suitable format for benchmark reporting, submission and validation; and collect and store environmental data, if automated for the benchmark.	View	None
Convection oven	A general-purpose oven that cooks food by forcing hot dry air over the surface of the food product. The rapidly moving hot air strips away the layer of cooler air next to the food and enables the food to absorb the heat energy. For the purposes of this specification, convection ovens do not include ovens that have the ability to heat the cooking cavity with saturated or superheated steam. However, this oven type may have moisture injection capabilities (e.g., baking ovens and moisture-assist ovens). Ovens that include a hold feature are eligible under this specification as long as convection is the only method used to fully cook the food.	View	None
Conventional vented	A clothes dryer that exhausts the evaporated moisture from the cabinet.	View	None
Conversion type water cooler	A unit that ships as either Bottle-type or POU and includes a conversion kit intended to convert the Water Cooler from a Bottle-type unit to a POU unit or to convert a POU unit to a Bottle-type unit.	View	None
Conveyor	A dishwashing machine that employs a conveyor or similar mechanism to carry dishes through a series of wash and rinse sprays within the machine.	View	None
Conveyor oven	An oven designed to carry food product on a moving belt into and through a heated chamber. A conveyor oven may stand alone or be placed on a counter top. Common foods for cooking may include pizza or bread.	View	None
Cook and hold appliance	A multiple-mode appliance intended for cooking food that may be used to hold the temperature of the food that has been cooked in the same appliance.	View	None
Cool and cold	Units that dispense both cold and room-temperature water.	View	None
Cool gas	Defrosting that uses cool gas (or vapor) from the top of the receiver instead of hot gas (discharge).	View	None
Copier	Produces paper duplicates from paper originals. Includes upgradeable digital copiers (UDCs).	View	None
Corded	A Telephone with a permanent physical connection between the handset and the network.	View	None
Cordless	A product or appliance designed to operate on battery power or directly from the mains with a discharged battery.	View	None
Cordless	A Telephone with a base station and a handset. The cradle of a Cordless Telephone or its External Power Supply is designed to plug into a wall outlet. Although the Cordless Telephone base has a permanent physical connection to the network, there is no physical connection between the portable handset and the network.	View	None
Cost Intensity	Cost per square foot of affected space.	View	$/ft2
Counter top	Available in both caster-equipped floor models and more compact countertop styles.	View	None
CRT	A CRT, also known as cathode ray tube or computer display terminal, is a type of display for a computer monitor and television.	View	None
Cubed	Cubed: Cubed ice machines have an alternate freezing and harvesting period. Water is circulated over an evaporator where it freezes until cubes are fully formed. The cubed ice is then harvested and moved to storage. The ice may be in cube shape, or in a variation of a solid shape.	View	None
Data switch port	A secondary Ethernet port on a telephone that provides the capability to pass data connectivity to an external device (e.g., a computerÕs Ethernet network interface controller (NIC)).	View	None
Decanter	Decanter or carafe is a glass or multi-layer insulated stainless steel carafes are common in drip filter coffee makers. Insulated carafes are typically more efficient, since less energy is required to keep brewed coffee warm.	View	None
Deck oven	An oven that cooks food product directly on the floor of a heated chamber. The bottom of each compartment is called a deck and heat is typically supplied by burners or elements located beneath the deck. The oven ceiling, floor, and walls are designed to absorb heat quickly and radiate that heat back slowly and evenly.	View	None
Desktop	A computer where the main unit is intended to be located in a permanent location, often on a desk or on the floor. Desktop computers are not designed for portability and utilize an external computer display, keyboard and mouse. Desktop computers are designed for a broad range of home and office applications, including point of sale applications.	View	None
