As an ENERGY STAR® partner the Energy Division works to educate consumers in our state about the benefits of ENERGY STAR® products, and to promote the use of the products and practices.

Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR®, have purchased over 1.2 billion ENERGY STAR® qualified products, saving enough energy to avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to removing 23 million cars and saving $12 billion on utility bills.

For the Home

Energy efficient choices can save families about a third on their energy bill with similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions, 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, tracking savings, and rewarding improvements.

EPA provides an innovative energy performance rating system which businesses have already used for more than 200,000 buildings across the country. EPA also recognizes top performing buildings with the ENERGY STAR® award.

ENERGY STAR® qualified products save you money by reducing energy costs and helps protect the environment without sacrificing features or performance.
