Energy efficiency
The “Energy efficiency” feature highlights products that conserve energy compared to similar products as verified by the following certifications:
ENERGY STAR certifies electronics and appliances based on energy efficiency specifications set by the US EPA.
EPEAT certifies electronic products based on sustainability impacts across their lifecycle including energy efficiency, reduction of fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-Gases) and end of life management.
EU Energy Label provides an indication of a product’s energy efficiency so consumers can better understand and compare the efficiency of energy-powered products.
GreenCircle Certified Energy Savings certified consumer products reduce energy consumption when compared to similar products in the marketplace, or a previous version of that product. A product must meet a 10% energy savings threshold to qualify. Certified Energy Savings are represented as the percentage by which the product has reduced energy consumption compared to a standard product.
TCO Certified certifies IT and technology products based on lower environmental and climate impact, safer chemicals and circular design which reduces e-waste.
