Energy Star is a voluntary energy conservation programme led by the US government, mainly for consumer electronic products. It was launched in 1992 by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Energy (DOE) to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The programme was later adopted by Australia, Canada, Japan, Taiwan China, New Zealand and the EU. It is voluntary, and Energy Star standards are usually 20-30% more energy efficient than US federal standards. The earliest products in the programme were computers and other information appliances, gradually extending to electric motors, office equipment, lighting and household appliances, and later to buildings: since 1996 the EPA has actively promoted the Energy Star Buildings programme, helping voluntary participants assess building energy use (including lighting, air conditioning and office equipment), plan energy efficiency improvement actions and follow up, so the Energy Star mark can also be found on some homes and commercial buildings that adopt new environmental concepts.
