You’ve seen this logo everywhere! On washers and dryers, dishwashers and refrigerators, TVs and computers, air conditioners and furnaces. But, what does it mean? Energy efficiency is something that every homeowner or building manager cares about. Whether you’re just paying your utility bills at home or you’re running a business, no one wants to pay more on bills than they need to. That’s why energy-efficient appliances and practices can yield some pretty sizable savings.
One phrase you might have read about or heard of is “Energy Star” or even “Energy Star rated.” But do you know what that means? What does the Energy Star logo signify when it is placed on a product?
ENERGY EFFICIENCY MATTERS
Energy Star and the associated logo are international standards for energy usage. An Energy Star rating means that an electronic product, industrial practice, or even a residence or commercial building has been evaluated according to rigorous energy usage and waste standards and found to meet the high criteria for being energy efficient.
So what does this mean to you? It means that if you buy a home or start a business in a new building that has been Energy Star-rated, you will keep your energy waste to an absolute minimum. Subsequently, it also means that you will not be paying more than you have to on bills, such as heating.
Energy Star-rated products are designed to use electricity efficiently. Energy Star industries follow specific practices to ensure that their total energy usage does not exceed certain quotients that would be deemed wasteful for the required activities. Reduced waste means reduced costs, and it’s also better for the environment!
ENERGY SAVINGS IN YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS
For people who want to reduce energy costs, Energy Star-rated devices and structures should be considered. Sometimes, a home or business owner may even get a rebate from the government once they confirm that they have purchased and installed an Energy Star appliance, such as a new furnace, in their building.
The Energy Star program is strictly voluntary. It has the participation of the Canadian government and different manufacturers, organizations, and for-profit and non-profit groups. When you notice the Energy Star logo on a product or a building, you already know that it will be energy efficient and reduce energy costs.
