Energy Star Energy Star is the one led by the U.S. government, mainly for consumer electronics products, energy conservation programs. The Energy Star Program started in 1992 bythe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the aim is to reduce energy consumption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. This program is not a forced, spontaneous with the manufacturers of this plan, you can affix the label of Energy Star qualified products. The first products with this plan, mainly computers and other informationappliances, and then gradually extended to the motors, office equipment, lighting, appliances and so on. Later extended to the construction, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencyin 1996 to actively promote the Energy Star Buildings program, to assist the voluntary participation of industry to assess their building energy use (including lighting, air conditioning, office equipment, etc.) by the EPD, the planning of the building the matter of energy efficiency improvement action plans and follow-up work, so that some can find the energy Star logoimport environmentally friendly new concept of a home or business building.
