What makes a product Energy Star® certified?

Energy Star® products are the same or better than standard products, only they use less energy. To earn the Energy Star®, they must meet strict energy efficiency criteria set by the US Environmental Protection Agency or the US Department of Energy. Since they use less energy, these products save you money on your electricity bill and help protect the environment by causing fewer harmful emissions from power plants. And you get the features and quality you expect.

Some examples:

• Qualified refrigerators are at least 10% more efficient than the minimum federal efficiency standard.
• Qualified TVs consume 3 watts or less when switched off, compared to a standard TV, which consumes almost 6 watts on average.
• Office equipment that qualifies automatically enters a low-power “sleep” mode after a period of inactivity.
• Qualified light bulbs (CFLs) use two-thirds less energy than a standard incandescent bulb and must meet additional operation and reliability guidelines
• Qualified furnaces offer a rating of 90% AFUE or greater, whish is about 15% more efficient than the minimum federal efficiency standard.

Research conducted by the Utah Energy Conservation coalition (since 1997) on more than 2000 Energy Star® labeled homes in Utah provides valuable information for homes of the future. With the help of Energy Star® partners, the housing emissions in Utah were reduced by:

• 7,398 tons of Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
• 8,613 pounds Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)
• 28,707 pounds Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)
• Saving home owners more than $528,419 annually.
