What is ENERGY STAR?

ENERGY STAR is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) voluntary program
that helps businesses and individuals save money and protect our climate through
superior energy efficiency.
The ENERGY STAR program was established by EPA in 1992, under the authority of
the Clean Air Act Section 103(g). Section103(g) of the Clean Air Act directs the
Administrator to "conduct a basic engineering research and technology program to
develop, evaluate, and demonstrate non–regulatory strategies and technologies for
reducing air pollution."
In 2005, Congress enacted the Energy Policy Act. Section 131 of the Act amends
Section 324 (42 USC 6294) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, and "estab-
lished at the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency a vol-
untary program to identify and promote energy–efficient products and buildings in
order to reduce energy consumption, improve energy security, and reduce pollution
through voluntary labeling of or other forms of communication about products and
buildings that meet the highest energy efficiency standards."
