What does "ENERGY STAR compliant" on electronics actually mean?
Answer:
That depends on the appliance. For example:
"ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerator models use at least 15% less energy than required by current federal standards Exit ENERGY STAR and 40% less energy than the conventional models sold in 2001."
"ENERGY STAR qualified TVs use about 30% less energy than standard units."
As for a typical savings:
"The typical household spends $1,900 a year on energy bills. With ENERGY STAR, you can save up to 30% or more than $600 per year."
Energy star means that the appliance meets a certain standard of energy efficiency. Energy star appliances generally consume about 40% less power than non-energy star.
It means that it uses energy more efficiently than older appliances.
