ENERGY STAR® What are the Benefits of Choosing ENERGY STAR® Labeled Products?
ENERGY STAR® ENERGY STAR® is the brand name developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to signify energy-efficient products. This voluntary program is a partnership between the EPA, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), product manufacturers, local utilities, and retailers. The agencies set energy efficiency criteria for specific consumer and commercial products. Products meeting or exceeding the energy efficiency criteria established by the agencies are awarded the ENERGY STAR® label. In addition to the products, ENERGY STAR® also sets standards for homes and business. ENERGY STAR® products use less energy than other products, saving you money on your utility bills, and helping you protect the environment. The ENERGY STAR® label can be found on products such as: compact fluorescent light bulbs, household appliances, home electronics, office equipment, heating and cooling equipment, residential light fixtures, and windows. What are the benefits of choosing ENERGY STAR® labeled products? According to the EPA, by choosing products labeled with the ENERGY STAR® logo, the average household can save up to $400 on annual utility bills. Ultimately, the more energy you save at home, the more pollution you can prevent. So the next time you're in the market for a new refrigerator, computer, or even light fixture, check the label. If you see the ENERGY STAR® logo you have the confidence of knowing that the product your about to purchase has been approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
