ENERGY STAR



ENERGY STAR is a government-backed program helping businesses and individuals protect the environment through superior energy efficiency.

Results are already adding up. Last year alone, Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved enough energy to power 15 million homes and avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 14 million cars - all while saving $7 billion.


For the Home

Energy efficient choices can save families about a third on their energy bill with similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions, without sacrificing features, style or comfort. ENERGY STAR helps you make the energy efficient choice.


Energy Management for Businesses

Because a strategic approach to energy management can produce twice the savings - for the bottom line and the environment - as typical approaches, EPA's ENERGY STAR partnership offers a proven energy management strategy that helps in measuring current energy performance, setting goals, tracking savings, and rewarding improvements.

EPA provides an innovative energy performance rating system which businesses have already used for more than 10,000 buildings across the country. EPA also recognizes top performing buildings with the ENERGY STAR.


Energy Efficient Products

Products in more than 40 product categories are eligible for the ENERGY STAR including heating & cooling, lighting, appliances, electronics, office equipment and more.

Products that earn the ENERGY STAR prevent greenhouse gas emissions and help protect the environment by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

ENERGY STAR products use less energy, save money and help protect the environment. Ask for the ENERGY STAR.
