ENERGY STAR QUALIFIED HOME ELECTRONICS SAVE
ENERGY

• Over 50 of all electricity used to power home
  electronics is consumed while the products are
  turned off
• ENERGY STAR qualified home electronics consume
  less energy (0 to 6 watts) in standby or off
  mode than conventional models (up to 12 watts)
  due to manufacturers incorporating the latest
  technology such as
• Choosing a more efficient power supply (switch
  mode power supply)
• Energy-efficient displays
• Flash memory or Static RAM that manages power
  use

SAVING ENERGYEQUALS PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
ENERGY STAR qualified products use less energy
and cost less to operate resulting in a better
environment for future generations
If all home electronics sold in the U.S. this
year were ENERGY STAR, we would reduce air
pollution by 34 billion pounds, equivalent to the
emissions of more than 380,000 cars.

WHY BUY ENERGY STAR?
Latest Innovations in Technology! Home
electronics products that have earned the ENERGY
STAR include the latest innovations in
technology and energy efficiency, but cost the
same as conventional models. Save Energy on
Off Mode! Over 50 of all electricity used to
power home electronics is consumed while the
products are turned off. ENERGY STAR qualified
home electronics use up to 60 less energy in
standby or off mode than conventional models.

WHY BUY ENERGY STAR?
Save Money Protect the Environment! ENERGY
STAR qualified products use less energy and cost
less to operate. Combine ENERGY STAR qualified
products in your home to save more money on
energy bills and protect the environment.

• Americans spend 1 billion each year to power
  their TVs and VCRs when they are switched off.
• The average home has roughly two TVs, a VCR, a
  DVD player and three telephones. If all of these
  items were replaced with new ENERGY STAR
  qualified models, it would save over 20 billion
  pounds of CO2, equivalent to the emissions of
  more than 1.5 million cars.
