See some of the products offered by ENERGY STAR®

ENERGY STAR® is a government-backed program helping businesses and individuals protect the environment through superior energy efficiency practices.

Results are already adding up. Last year alone, Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR®, saved enough energy to power 10 million homes and avoid greenhouse gas emissions from 12 million cars - all while saving $6 billion.

For the home
Energy efficient choices can save families about a third on their energy bill without sacrificing features, style or comfort. ENERGY STAR® helps you make the energy efficient choice.

If looking for new household products look for ones that have earned the ENERGY STAR®. They meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the EPA and US Department of Energy.

If looking for a new home, look for one that has earned the ENERGY STAR®.

If looking to make larger improvements to your home, EPA offers tools and resources to help you plan and undertake projects to reduce your energy bills and improve home comfort.

For Business
Because a strategic approach to energy management can produce twice the savings - for the bottom line and the environment - as typical approaches, EPA's ENERGY STAR® partnership offers a proven energy management strategy that helps in measuring current energy performance, setting goals, track savings, and rewarding improvements.

EPA provides an innovative energy performance rating system which businesses have already used for more than 10,000 buildings across the country. EPA also recognizes top performing buildings with the ENERGY STAR®.
