ENERGY STAR

ENERGY STAR is a government program (public/private
partnership) that gives people the power to protect the
environment in a cost effective way and without sacrificing
quality or product features. Products that earn the ENERGY
STAR prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict
energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Department of Energy
(DOE). In the average home, 75% of all electricity used to power home
electronics is consumed while the products are turned off. ENERGY STAR
qualified home electronic products in the off position use up to 50% less energy
than conventional equipment. More information refers to http://
