USA Energy Star Certification

Testing Introduction

Energy Star (Energy Star) is an energy saving plan led by the US government, mainly for consumer electronic products. The Energy Star Program was launched in 1992 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to reduce energy consumption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The plan was later adopted by Australia, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, New Zealand and the European Union. The plan is voluntary, and Energy Star standards are generally 20-30% less energy efficient than US federal standards.
