ENERGY STAR (for selected models) 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
