Spot the Energy Star

Energy Star is a voluntary labeling program introduced in 1992 by the Environmental Protection Agency and designed to identify and promote to the public energy-efficient products with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Today, through a partnership with more than 7,000 private and public sector organizations, Energy Star offers technical information and tools that can be used to choose a wide range of energy-efficient products. Energy Star provides a trusted label on more than 30 product categories (and thousands of models) for homes and offices. Energy Star labels now can be found on major appliances, office equipment, lighting, consumer electronics, and even on new homes, and commercial and industrial buildings.

"It's like the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval for energy consumption," says Ed Wizniewski, deputy director for programs with the Consortium for Energy Efficiency. "It's an easy way for consumers to identify top-performing products in the marketplace." The EPA estimates that more than 630 million Energy Star-rated products have been sold to date, resulting in energy savings of $5 billion per year for businesses, organizations and consumers.
