What is ENERGY STAR?

ENERGY STAR® is the government-backed program helping businesses and individuals protect the environment through superior energy efficiency. Energy efficiency, delivering the same (or more) services for less energy, helps protect the environment. When we use less energy, we need smaller amounts to be generated by power plants, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions and potentially improves the quality of our air. By saving consumers and businesses millions each year in energy costs, energy efficiency helps the economy. ENERGY STAR certified homes are independently verified to be at least 30% more energy efficient than homes built to the 1993 national Model Energy Code or 15% more efficient than state energy code, whichever is more rigorous.

What Does ENERGY STAR Mean to You?
Results are already adding up. Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved enough energy in 2007 alone to avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 27 million cars — all while saving $16 billion on their utility bills. Energy efficient choices, like ENERGY STAR, can result in material savings & save families about one third on their energy bills while helping to prevent global warming. ENERGY STAR helps you make the energy efficient choice without sacrificing style, comfort or features.
