ENERGY STAR
A U.S. EPA/DOE program that certifies products meeting energy efficiency standards above federal minimums. ENERGY STAR products use 10-50% less energy than standard models.
Why It Matters
ENERGY STAR certification is a reliable minimum bar for efficiency. When 25C credits require "meets or exceeds ENERGY STAR," the certification determines which products qualify for tax credits.
