When shopping for household appliances, electronics, or communication devices, customers often encounter the Energy Star logo adorned with varying numbers of stars. In essence, that logo represents the Energy Star label. So, what exactly is this Energy Star label? What purpose does it serve? Let's explore with Mytour!
Understanding the Energy Star Label
The Energy Star label sets a standard for energy efficiency in electronic and household appliances. Developed in 1992 in the United States, it has since been recognized by countries including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, Taiwan, and Europe.
Furthermore, countries provide Energy Star certification for technology products that meet environmental protection standards and emit minimal greenhouse gases.
The Energy Star label extends beyond computer equipment and gaming gear like computer monitors and CPU cases; it also applies to electronic and household appliances such as TVs, light bulbs, washing machines, refrigerators, and even energy-efficient high-rise buildings.
Benefits of Energy Star Labels
Technology, household appliances, and electronics receive Energy Star labels if they meet the energy consumption efficiency requirements set forth by the Energy Star specifications.
Typically, the Energy Star label on products means they will consume at least 20% less electricity than non-labeled counterparts.
Energy Star Label Standards
Specifically, the standards for various devices are outlined as follows:
- TVs: 30%
- Refrigerators: 15%
- Dishwashers: 41%
- Fluorescent Lights: 75%
