Guidelines

This specification outlines the criteria for ENERGY STAR qualified Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL). A product must meet all of the identified programme requirements if it is to be registered with the New Zealand ENERGY STAR programme and carry the ENERGY STAR mark.

Televisions will soon need to be 40% more energy efficient than conventional models to achieve the Energy Star label.

The version 4.0 and 5.0 ENERGY STAR specifications for televisions have been finalised by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as of September 3, 2009.

These requirements establish challenging on mode power consumption levels, take steps to ensure a TV is viewed in the mode in which it qualified for ENERGY STAR so consumer savings are realised, and curb energy associated with downloading program guide data.

These brand guidelines help ENERGY STAR partners to use the ENERGY STAR mark effectively and consistently. They detail how to use the mark on products and when promoting ENERGY STAR. By following the guidelines ENERGY STAR partners maintain the integrity of the ENERGY STAR brand and help build awareness of the mark.
