Energy Star

Energy conservation continues to be an important consumer concern as energy costs increase and energy supplies become scarcer. Energy Star is a voluntary program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency, partnering with CSREES.

The program concentrates on educating consumers about benefits of high-efficiency homes, appliances, consumer electronics, office equipment, windows, lighting, and building materials. This outreach educational program is available in 17 states through state program managers. The University of Georgia helps to coordinate this program.
