American Energy Star Certification
Certification Introduction
Energy Star is an energy conservation program led by the U.S. government, mainly for consumer electronics. The ENERGY STAR program was launched in 1992 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to reduce energy consumption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The scheme has since been adopted by Australia, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, New Zealand and the European Union. The program is voluntary, and ENERGY STAR standards are typically 20-30% more energy efficient than U.S. federal standards. The earliest products to cooperate with this plan are mainly computer and other information appliances, and then gradually extended to electrical machinery, office equipment, lighting, home appliances and so on. Later, it was extended to buildings. The US EPA has actively promoted the Energy Star Building Program since 1996. The EPA assists voluntary participants in evaluating the energy use status of their buildings (including lighting, air conditioning, office equipment, etc.), planning the building. The energy efficiency improvement action plan and follow-up work of things, so some residential or industrial and commercial buildings that have introduced new concepts of environmental protection can also find the ENERGY STAR logo.
Development Status
Seven countries and regions in the world have participated in the ENERGY STAR program promoted by the US Environmental Protection Agency, namely the United States, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, and the European Union. Since 2001, the International Energy Star Program Conference has been held annually. At present, there are more than 30 categories of products included in the scope of this certification, such as household appliances, heating/cooling equipment, electronic products, lighting products, etc. Currently, lighting products are the most popular in the Chinese market, including energy-saving lamps (CFL), Luminaires (RLF), traffic lights and exit lights.
