The data is not stored in environment variables but as property in 
X11. For the dispwin tool the configuration is set in 
~/.config/color.jcnf. My data is set as:

  "devices": {
    "display": {
      "1": {
        "EDID": 
"0x00FFFFFFFFFFFF0015C37916010101010C0E0102681E1778EAA415A5544897250F5054BFEE000101010101010101010101010101010164190040410026301888360030E410000018000000FF004B353134333033340A20202020000000FD00374C183D08000A202020202020000000FC004C3336370A20202020202020200022",
        "ICC_PROFILE": 
"/home/blablub/.local/share/color/icc/devices/display/eizo.icc"
      },
      "2": {
        "NAME": ":0.0",
        "ICC_PROFILE": 
"/home/blablub/.local/share/color/icc/devices/display/dell-L.icc"
      }
    }
  }

If I load color profile (dispwin -L) the one for my current display is 
loaded (here dell-L.icc) the eizo.icc I used with my old monitor.

I don't know xcalib, but it must do something similar.
