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
