ENERGY STAR is a program created by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that helps businesses and individuals save money and protect the environment through energy efficiency. It provides certification for products, homes, and buildings that meet strict energy performance standards, making it easier for consumers to identify energy-efficient options. The ENERGY STAR label can be found on a wide range of products, including appliances, electronics, and lighting. By choosing ENERGY STAR certified items, consumers can reduce their energy consumption, lower utility bills, and contribute to a healthier planet.
