Refrigerated beverage vending machines can now earn the ENERGY STAR. ENERGY STAR qualified vending machines are 35 percent more energy-efficient than standard new machine models and will save building owners up to $90/year in electricity costs per machine. Your institution provides the power for campus vending machines, so specify ENERGY STAR qualified machines in your contract.
