- Exclusivity - only New Zealand's most energy efficient products qualify for ENERGY STAR.
- Simplicity - it's easy for your customers to understand, there's no interpreting ratings or reading brochures to figure out energy efficiency.
- Differentiation - it offers a strong point of difference for qualified products.
- Tangible benefits for consumers - lower power bills, financial savings and environmental benefits.
- Partners can leverage EECA's extensive marketing campaigns, like the Energy Spot.
