ENERGY STAR qualified windows, doors, and skylights save you energy and money, increase the comfort of your home, and protect your valuable possessions from sun damage. They are also better for the environment because lowering your energy use means less air pollution from power plants.
Save money and energy. Replacing single-paned windows with ENERGY STAR qualified windows or choosing ENERGY STAR over the typical clear-glass double-paned alternative can save a significant amount of money on your energy bill.
Say goodbye to winter drafts and sweating in the summer sun. Thanks to a host of new technologies, ENERGY STAR qualified windows, doors, and skylights keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, making you more comfortable year round.
Protect your home’s interior. Many ENERGY STAR qualified windows, doors, and skylights act like sunscreen for your house, protecting your photographs, artwork, furniture, carpets, and wood floors from sun damage.
Buy with confidence. Every ENERGY STAR qualified window, door, and skylight is independently certified to perform at levels that meet or exceed strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Energy.
Ask for ENERGY STAR. To purchase the most efficient window for your home, ask for products that are ENERGY STAR qualified in your Climate Zone. To learn more, see the window purchasing tips.
Seal and insulate with Home Sealing. Sealing your home’s envelope is one of the most cost-effective ways to lower your home’s energy bills and improve your comfort.
What’s in a pane – or two?
All energy efficient windows have at least two panes, but not all double-paned windows are energy efficient. Twenty years ago, double-paned meant energy efficient; today, advanced technologies have enabled the development of windows that are much more efficient than traditional clear-glass double-paned windows. For maximum energy savings, don’t count panes; count on ENERGY STAR.
By replacing the five most frequently used lights in your home with ENERGY STAR qualified lighting, you can save about $60 each year in energy costs. Lighting fixtures that have earned the ENERGY STAR combine high performance, attractive design, and highest levels of energy efficiency, so they save energy, save money on utility bills and help protect the environment.
Earning the ENERGY STAR
ENERGY STAR fixtures must last 10,000 – 20,000 hours. This means, with regular use (i.e., 3.5 hours per day), you won’t need to change the bulb for at least seven years.
ENERGY STAR qualified fixtures distribute the light more efficiently and evenly than standard fixtures.
ENERGY STAR fixtures can now be found at most home centers, lighting showrooms, and specialty stores. Look for qualified fixtures for the following applications: torchieres, under and over cabinets in the kitchen, ceiling-mounted, wall sconces, suspended fixtures and outdoor lighting, including motion sensor fixtures.
Halogen torchieres have been responsible for dozens of fires nationally, some with tragic consequences. During use, the temperature of a halogen torchiere bulb can reach 1000F, while an ENERGY STAR torchiere uses technology that operates at lower temperatures. What’s the Difference?
All ENERGY STAR qualified light fixtures carry a 2 year warranty – double the industry standard.
Remember, saving energy prevents pollution. ENERGY STAR qualified lighting uses about 66% less energy than standard lighting. When you save energy, you not only save money on utility bills, but you also protect our environment. For other tips, visit our interactive buyers guide or download our two-page Lighting Brochure.

Exit Signs If all U.S. companies switched to ENERGY STAR qualified exit signs, they would save $75 million.
Earning the ENERGY STAR
Exit signs that have earned the ENERGY STAR operate on five watts or less per sign, compared to standard signs, which use as much as 40 watts per sign.
When installed throughout a building, qualified exit signs can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars in energy and maintenance costs. One sign alone can save about $10 annually on electricity costs and can last up to 10 years without a lamp replacement, compared to less than one year for an incandescent. Signs that have earned the ENERGY STAR are tested for visibility factors, and come with a five-year manufacturer warranty.
Remember, saving energy prevents pollution.
There are more than 100 million exit signs in use throughout the U.S. Typically lit by incandescent bulbs, these signs consume 30-35 billion kilowatt hours (kWh) hours of energy each year.million in electricity costs.

Americans spend about $40 billion annually to air condition buildings – one-sixth of all electricity generated in this country.
Why choose ENERGY STAR reflective roofing for your building?
ENERGY STAR qualified roof products reflect more of the sun’s rays. This can lower roof surface temperature by up to 100F, decreasing the amount of heat transferred into a building.
ENERGY STAR qualified roof products can help reduce the amount of air conditioning needed in buildings, and can reduce peak cooling demand by 10-15%.
During building design and when your existing roof needs replacement are both excellent times to consider reflective roofing. See how much reflective roofing can reduce your building’s energy costs.
How does roof insulation relate to ENERGY STAR labeled roof products?
The ENERGY STAR energy-efficiency criteria do not include a specification for roof insulation. However, in addition to reflectivity, roof insulation (measured by the R-value) plays an important role in building energy consumption for heating and cooling. The colder the climate, the greater the need for a higher R-value to ensure that less heat is lost from the building envelope. To determine the minimum R-value for a given location, refer to the International Energy Conservation Code.
Hot Food Holding Cabinets that have earned the ENERGY STAR are 60% more energy-efficient than standard models.
Earning the ENERGY STAR
Hot food holding cabinet models that earn the ENERGY STAR must meet a maximum idle energy rate of 40 watts/ft3. This means that ENERGY STAR qualified hot food holding cabinets are more efficient at maintaining food temperature while using less energy. Models that meet this requirement incorporate better insulation, reducing heat loss, and may also offer additional energy saving devices such as magnetic door gaskets, auto-door closures, or dutch doors. The insulation of the cabinet also offers better temperature uniformity within the cabinet from top to bottom.
Where can I get one?
Contact the manufacturers directly or speak with your food equipment supplier.
What can ENERGY STAR qualified hot food holding cabinets save me?
Each ENERGY STAR qualified hot food holding cabinet can save businesses 4,100 kWh annually, or an average of $280/year on utility bills.
Did you know that the average home spends about $1400 on energy costs every year? Change to appliances that have earned the ENERGY STAR, and you can save $80 a year in energy costs, while saving the environment.
Save Energy, Save Money
When buying an appliance, remember that it has two price tags: what you pay to take it home and what you pay for the energy and water it uses. ENERGY STAR qualified appliances incorporate advanced technologies that use 10-50% less energy and water than standard models. The money you save on your utility bills can more than make up for the cost of a more expensive but more efficient ENERGY STAR model.
Help Protect the Environment
Simple actions can make a big difference. If just one in 10 homes used ENERGY STAR qualified appliances, the change would be like planting 1.7 million new acres of trees.
For top performance, premium features, and energy savings, look for energy-efficient clothes washers, refrigerators, dishwashers, room air conditioners and dehumidifiers that have earned the ENERGY STAR. This mark may appear on the appliance, the packaging or the EnergyGuide label.

* Disclaimer: Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) is a measure of the amount of contaminant-free air delivered by the room air cleaner. The ENERGY STAR specification requires that manufacturers measure CADR according to AHAM/ANSI AC-1-2002, a test procedure developed by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM), and recognized by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). For more information about CADR please visit : www.cadr.org
When considering the purchase of an ENERGY STAR qualified room air cleaner, the comparison should not solely be based on CADR. The CADR of a specific air cleaner model is affected by a number of factors included the size of the model; larger units often have higher CADRs. For more information on the appropriate sized room air cleaner for your application please refer to individual manufacturer web sites or ask your retailer.
Replacing a 10-year-old room air conditioner with a new ENERGY STAR qualified model saves an average of $14 a year on your electric bill.
Earning the ENERGY STAR means a product meets strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the US Department of Energy.
ENERGY STAR qualified room air conditioners use at least 10% less energy than conventional models.
Remember, saving energy prevents pollution. By choosing ENERGY STAR, you are helping prevent global warming and promoting cleaner air without sacrificing the product quality and performance you expect.
You may also be interested to know that many people buy an air conditioner that is too large. ENERGY STAR suggests making sure your unit is properly sized.
Properly Sized Room Air Conditioners
Many people buy an air conditioner that is too large, thinking it will provider better cooling. However, an oversized air conditioner is actually less effective – and wastes energy at the same time. Air conditioners remove both heat and humidity from the air. If the unit is too large, it will cool the room quickly, but only remove some of the humidity. This leaves the room with a damp, clammy feeling. A properly sized unit will remove humidity effectively as it cools.
Finding which size unit is best for your cooling needs…
1. Determine the square footage of the area to be cooled using the following formulas:
For square and rectangular rooms, multiply the length of the area by its width
For a triangular area, multiply the length of the area by the width and divide by 2
Most rooms can be further divided into these basic shapes to determine the square footage.
If the shape of your room is other than square or rectangular, ask your sales associate to help you determine the square footage.
2. Using the square footage and the chart below, determine the correct cooling capacity. Cooling capacity is measured in British thermal units (BTUs) per hour.
Area To Be Cooled (square feet)
Capacity Needed (BTUs per hour)
100 to 150

3. Make any adjustments for the following circumstances:
If the room is heavily shaded, reduce capacity by 10 percent.
If the room is very sunny, increase capacity by 10 percent.
If more than two people regularly occupy the room, add 600 BTUs for each additional person.
If the unit is used in a kitchen, increase capacity by 4,000 BTUs.
Consider where you install the unit. If you are mounting an air conditioner near the corner of a room, look for a unit that can send the airflow in the right direction.

Ceiling fans that have earned the ENERGY STAR move air up to 20% more efficiently than standard ceiling fans. This can save you from $15-25 per year on utility bills, plus any additional air conditioning or heating savings you may gain when your fan is operated properly.
Earning the ENERGY STAR
While ENERGY STAR qualified ceiling fans use improved motors and blade designs, you can dramatically increase your savings with ENERGY STAR qualified lighting. If your fan doesn’t include lighting, be sure to purchase an ENERGY STAR qualified light kit. This lighting is efficient and long lasting, so you won’t have to make frequent bulb changes.
Remember, saving energy prevents pollution. To save energy while using a ceiling fan, whether with a standard or an ENERGY STAR model, (use the following tips):

What Else Should I Look for When Shopping for Ceiling Fans?
In addition to the ENERGY STAR label there are a number of other items to consider when purchasing and installing a new ceiling fan.

Ceiling Fan Basics
Choosing the Right Size Ceiling fan blade spans range from 29 to 54 inches – the most popular being the 52-inch model. To determine which size you need, measure the room where the ceiling fan will be installed and follow these guidelines:
Room Dimensions
Suggested Fan Size
Up to 75 ft2
29 – 36″
76 – 144 ft2
36 – 42″
144 – 225 ft2
44″
225 – 400 ft2
50 – 54″
* Reference: American Lighting Association, 2003
Choosing the Appropriate Mounting System Ceiling fans should be installed, or mounted, in the middle of the room and at least 7 feet above the floor and 18 inches from the walls. If ceiling height allows, install the fan 8 – 9 feet above the floor for optimal airflow.
Standard mounts come with a 3 – 5 inch downrod, which is the metal pipe that extends from the ceiling bracket to the top of the fan. Downrods are usually either 1/2 or 3/4-inch in diameter.
Extended mounts can be used to hang the ceiling fan at the desired 8- 9-feet from the floor for tall ceiling heights. Downrods can be purchased from 6 inches (9 ft ceiling) to 120 inches (20 ft ceiling). Check with the manufacturer or sales associate to determine the right downrod length for you.
Flush mounts anchor the fan directly against the ceiling. Most standard fans can be installed as a flush mount however, many manufacturers sell “hugger” or “low profile” ceiling fans that are specifically designed for this purpose. Hugger fans are ideal for rooms that have ceilings under 8 feet in height or in situations where a fan with optional light would hang down too low. Hugger fans will not move as much air as a regular fan because the blades are closer to the ceiling.
Sloped mounts are used for angled or vaulted ceilings.
See Ceiling Fan Installation and Usage Tips for more information about mounting the ceiling fan.
Wet/Damp Rating. Placing a ceiling fan in a bathroom or other humid locations? Purchase a fan that has been UL listed with a “damp” rating. For fans that may come in direct contact with water, like on a patio or front porch, look for a UL “wet” rating. These fans include features such as sealed/moisture resistant motors, rust resistant housing, stainless steel hardware, and all weather blades.
Performance: Components that Count
No one component defines the performance of the fan; rather it is the combination of all of these components that affects how well a fan works. Motor: Basically, there are two types of ceiling fan motors: those with sealed and lubricated ball bearings and those with bearings that rotate in an oil bath. Lubrication provides smooth operation and contributes to the longevity of the motor. Motors with sealed bearings require little or no maintenance whereas motors with oil baths need occasional service, such as adding oil.
Motor Grade:Performance Grade fans – Use larger and more powerful motors that are designed for continuous use and quiet operation. These are usually the most expensive models Medium Grade fans are suitable for operating 12 hours or less per day. Moderate or Economy Grade fans work best in a room with 8-foot ceilings, running no more than 8 hours a day. Least are the most inexpensive ceiling fans
Motor Housing: The housing is the decorative body of the fan that encloses the fan motor. Fans that use heavier materials, such as die cast metals, for housing tend to vibrate less, provide more stability for longer downrods, and provide a good surface for high quality finishes.
Other features that ensure longevity and quiet operation include heavy-duty windings, precision engineering bearings, and shock-absorbent internal components. These features are commonly found in more expensive ceiling fan models.
Blade Pitch is the angle of the fan’s blades, and it’s measured in degrees. Higher blade pitches usually move more air, which is given in cubic feet per minute, or CFM. However, blade pitch alone does not determine air movement. Other factors such as the motor design and speed, as well as blade design, material, number, and length can contribute to the amount of air movement. Higher pitch is NOT always better – some models offer a higher blade pitch to compensate for a smaller, less efficient motor.
Blades should be sealed from moisture to prevent warping, bubbling, or peeling. Some manufacturers offer special coatings on metal finishes to prevent scratches or tarnishing.
High quality blades are weighed and balanced prior to shipment and come in factory-matched sets. For this reason, they cannot be switched out with other fans. For flexibility in design, a number of manufacturers offer a variety of blade styles and finishes for a particular fan. However, changing the blade style could affect the performance of the fan.
Controls: Most residential ceiling fans (and all ENERGY STAR qualified fans) feature the ability to reverse the motor and airflow direction, allowing you to operate the fan year-round. This control is usually found on the fan’s switch housing.
Ceiling Fan Installation and Usage Tips
Ceiling fan performance and energy savings rely heavily on the proper installation and use of the ceiling fan. Here are a few tips to ensure quality and product performance. Note: consumers should read and understand manufacturer instructions before attempting to install a ceiling fan. Choosing the Appropriate UL-Rated Electrical Box. Make sure that you use the appropriate UL-listed metal box, marked “For Use With Ceiling Fans.” This outlet box is mounted above the ceiling and also is the point where the fan is attached. This box houses all wiring needed to operate and connect the ceiling fan. If you are replacing a ceiling fixture, most likely you will need to replace the electrical box.
Mounting the Ceiling Fan. If possible, the ceiling fan should be anchored to a ceiling joist. In the case that the joist is not located in the center of the room, a special ceiling fan mounting bracket with spiked ends should be installed between joists. Keep in mind that ceiling fans can weigh as much as 50 pounds! For tips on installing a ceiling fan, click on the file below.
Balancing a Wobbly Fan. All fan blades should be balanced prior to shipment; however, if the fan is wobbly after installation, there are ways to fix it. First, make sure that all connections are properly aligned and tightly fastened. Check the alignment of the blades by holding a yardstick vertically along the edges; you may be able to gently bend a misaligned blade holder back into proper place. If all blades are aligned, a balancing kit can then be used to pinpoint the culprit. These kits are either provided within product packaging (e.g., balancing clips and blade weights) or can be sent by the manufacturer free of charge.
Turn Off When not in the Room. Ceiling fans cool people, not rooms. If the room is unoccupied, turn off the ceiling fan to save energy.
Using the Ceiling Fan Year Round. In the summer, use the ceiling fan in the counter-clockwise direction. The airflow produced by the ceiling fan creates a wind-chill effect, making you “feel” cooler. In the winter, reverse the motor and operate the ceiling fan at low speed in the clockwise direction. This produces a gentle updraft, which forces warm air near the ceiling down into the occupied space. Remember to adjust your thermostat when using your ceiling fan – additional energy and dollar savings could be realized with this simple step!
Ceiling Fan Accessories and Purchasing Choices
Light Kits: There are many choices of ceiling fan light kits.
Branched, or stemmed, light kits usually come with 3 or 4 “arms” and can either point up toward the ceiling fan or down toward the floor.
Bowl light kits can either be directly attached to the ceiling fan housing (i.e., integral), or attached below the fan. Bowl and shade designs range from clear to alabaster, crystal, or tiffany – the fancier the glass design, the more expensive. Nearly all ENERGY STAR qualified ceiling fan light fixtures use bowl lighting.
Uplight designs are also becoming more popular. where the light kit sits on top of the housing and point up toward the ceiling, casting a softer light throughout the room
Ceiling fan light kits can be purchased three different ways: (1) integrated into the fan, (2) included with the fan at the time of purchase, or (3) sold separately. Many of the light kits that are sold separately are “universal,” meaning that they can be used on a number of different fan models. Similarly, most ceiling fans are light kit adaptable. However, there are many cases where compatibility is only between light kits and ceiling fans under the same brand. Information regarding light kit/ceiling fan compatibility should be found on the product packaging.
Remote and Wall Controls: Standard controls for the ceiling fan motor include a pull chain attached to the housing (two if lighting is included), and a motor reversing switch on the lower, or switch, housing. However, many manufacturers offer remote or wall controls either sold with the model or as an accessory. Most ceiling fans have a 3-speed switch in the housing and as such, most ceiling fan wall controls complement this set-up. When choosing a wall control for a fan/light combination, make sure to choose one that operates each function separately and can operate the fan at 3 or 4 distinct speeds. Using a conventional dimmer switch to run the fan could cause the ceiling fan motor to hum. When you choose an ENERGY STAR qualified fan with lighting or an ENERGY STAR qualified light kit, and you wish to use it with a dimmer, make sure the packaging indicates that the lighting is dimmable.
Be sure to look for controls that match up with your ceiling fan: maximum amps, number of speeds, total lamp wattage, and brand. Some of the remote and wall controls work with a number of different ceiling fan brands; however, there are some remotes that should only be used with specific brands. Check with the sales associate and/or the product packaging if purchasing the controls separately.
Purchasing Choices Ceiling fans are sold in many different distribution channels: lighting and builder showrooms, national retail chains, hardware stores, and electrical distributors. Showrooms offer consumers many different brands, finishes, blade types, and light kit options. Here, each consumer may essentially design his or her own fan. Retail chains and hardware stores usually offer a number of different choices in completed fans, with or without lighting, and light kits.

Replacing a dishwasher manufactured before 1994 with an ENERGY STAR qualified dishwasher can save you more than $25 a year in energy costs.
Earning the ENERGY STAR means a product meets strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the US Department of Energy.
ENERGY STAR qualified dishwashers use 25% less energy than the federal minimum standard for energy consumption.
Because they use less hot water compared to conventional models, an ENERGY STAR qualified dishwasher saves about $100 over its lifetime.
Remember, saving energy prevents pollution. By choosing ENERGY STAR, you are helping prevent global warming and promote cleaner air without sacrificing the product quality and performance you expect.
You may also be interested to know that you can save extra energy while washing dishes, whether with a standard or an ENERGY STAR model:
Run your dishwasher with a full load. Most of the energy used by a dishwasher goes to heat water. Since you can’t decrease the amount of water used per cycle, fill your dishwasher to get the most from the energy used to run it.
Avoid using the heat-dry, rinse-hold and pre-rinse features. Instead use your dishwasher’s air-dry option. If your dishwasher does not have an air-dry option, prop the door open after the final rinse to dry the dishes.
Purchasing Tips
Choose the right size for your home. Standard capacity models hold more than 8 places settings and 6 serving pieces. Compact capacity models hold 8 place settings and six serving pieces or less. If you have to operate a compact model more frequently, you may actually use more energy than you would with a standard model over time.
Choose a dishwasher with several wash cycle selections. If your dishes are only slightly soiled, you can use a light or energy-saving wash cycle, which uses less water and operates for a shorter period of time.
Check the yellow EnergyGuide label. The EnergyGuide label indicates how much energy the model uses, compares the energy use of similar models, and approximates annual operating costs.

Copiers are the most energy-intensive type of office equipment because they sit idle for long periods of time.
Earning the ENERGY STAR
Copiers that have earned the ENERGY STAR “sleep” or power down when not in use, and use 40% less electricity compared to standard models.
ENERGY STAR qualified high-speed copiers feature duplexing units that automatically make double-sided copies, reduces paper costs by about $60 a month. Using less paper also saves energy because it takes 10 times more energy to manufacture a piece of paper than it does to copy an image onto it.
Businesses that use ENERGY STAR enabled office equipment may realize additional savings on air conditioning and maintenance.
Remember, saving energy prevents pollution. Because most copiers are left on 10 hours a day, power management features are important for saving energy and an easy way to reduce air pollution. Learn about the copier of the future.

Commercial Fryers Fryers that have earned the ENERGY STAR are up to 25% more energy-efficient than standard models.
Earning the ENERGY STAR ENERGY STAR qualified fryers include both gas and electric open-deep fat models. Fryers that earn the ENERGY STAR must meet a minimum cooking efficiency* of 50% (gas) and 80% (electric) while also meeting a maximum idle energy rate of 9,000 Btu/hr (gas) and 1,000 watts (electric). Energy-efficient fryers that have earned the ENERGY STAR offer shorter cook times and higher production rates through advanced burner and heat exchanger designs. Frypot insulation reduces standby losses resulting in a lower idle energy rate. Where can I get one? Contact the manufacturers directly or speak with your food equipment supplier. What can ENERGY STAR qualified fryers save me? Each ENERGY STAR qualified gas fryer can save businesses 28 MBtu annually, or average of $185/year on utility bills. Each ENERGY STAR qualified electric fryer can save 879 kWh annually, or an average of $60/year on utility bills. * Under heavy-load conditions
