ENERGY STAR certification

ENERGY STAR is a certification provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that identifies products, homes, and buildings that meet energy efficiency standards. It signifies that the item or structure uses less energy, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and helps save money on energy bills. For example, an ENERGY STAR-rated appliance or building has been tested and proven to operate efficiently compared to typical alternatives. The certification encourages consumers and businesses to choose more sustainable, energy-efficient options that benefit the environment and reduce operational costs.
