Lighting: If every American household replaced just one light with an ENERGY STAR light, we would save more than $600 million in annual energy costs, while preventing 9 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions, equivalent to the emissions of about 800,000 cars.
Heating and Cooling System: If every American household serviced their heating and cooling systems and changed their air filters, inspected their ducts for leaks and programmed their thermostat for energy savings while they’re away or asleep, we would save more than $14 billion in annual energy costs while preventing 160 billion pounds of greenhouse gases, equivalent to the emissions of 14 million cars.
Sealing and Insulating: If every American household added insulation to their attic, we would save nearly $1.5 billion in annual energy costs and prevent nearly 25 billion pounds of greenhouse gases, equivalent to the emissions of 2 million cars.
Home office: If every home office product purchased in America this year were ENERGY STAR qualified, we 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.
Appliances: If every refrigerator, dishwasher and clothes washer purchased in America this year were ENERGY STAR qualified, we would save $650 million in annual energy costs while preventing 4.5 billion pounds of greenhouse gases, equivalent to the emissions of 350,000 cars.
