ENERGY STAR ® Retailers
Products in more than 60 categories are eligible for the ENERGY STAR. They use less energy, save money, and help protect the environment. One of the main goals of the ENERGY STAR program is to develop performance-based specifications that determine the most efficient products in a particular category. Products that meet these specifications earn the ENERGY STAR label. To develop ENERGY STAR product specifications, EPA and DOE use a systematic process that relies on rigorous market, engineering, and pollution savings analyses as well as input from industry stakeholders. This process ensures that the ENERGY STAR ® program:

• identifies products where large gains in energy efficiency and pollution reduction can be cost-effectively realized
• can play an influential role to expand the market for these products.
