EPEAT is now the easiest way to specify affordable,
high-performance, environmentally preferable computer desktops, laptops, and
monitors. As of the EPEAT standard's one year anniversary, July 2007, over
20 manufacturers had registered more than 600 products and the EPEAT standard
has been successfully incorporated into purchasing documents worth more than
US$65 billion.
EPEAT is a required specification for federal purchasers
and is increasingly used by state and local government purchasers and private
sector IT managers to 'green' their electronics purchasing.
The specific resources at right, and the model specification language below
should help get you started using EPEAT.
If you would like to talk with someone directly about the best way to
incorporate EPEAT into the purchasing process, please e-mail Sarah O'Brien at
sarah.obrien@greenelectronicscouncil.org.
Finally, please let us know when you do spec EPEAT, so that we can add your name
to the list of purchasers greening their IT through the EPEAT system!
