Office Equipment
If every home office product purchased in the U.S. this year were ENERGY STAR qualified, Americans would save $200 million in annual energy costs while preventing almost 3 billion pounds of greenhouse gases – equivalent to the emissions of 250,000 cars.
Office Equipment that has earned the ENERGY STAR helps save energy through special energy-efficient designs, which allow them to use less energy to perform regular tasks, and automatically enter a low-power mode when not in use.
Most office equipment is left on for 24 hours a day, making energy-efficient design and power management features important for saving energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming. In addition to reducing power use for the products themselves, ENERGY STAR qualified office products feature energy-efficient designs for accessories. So, products sold with an external power adapter, cordless handset, or digital front-end, must have accessories which meet the ENERGY STAR specifications for External Power Supplies (EPS), Telephony, or Computers. These requirements ensure that the ENERGY STAR is represented only on the market's most energy-efficient products.
