Electronics
Home electronic products use energy when they're off to power features like clock displays and remote controls. U.S. households spend $100 per year to power devices while they are in this "standby" power mode. Products that have earned the ENERGY STAR use less energy to perform these functions, while providing the same performance and features as conventional models. Using less energy preserves energy resources and helps reduce the risks of global warming while saving money on energy bills.
Televisions
There are about 275 million TVs currently in use in the U.S., consuming over 50 billion kWh of energy each year — or 4 percent of all households' electricity use. This is enough electricity to power all the homes in the state of New York for an entire year.
Earning the ENERGY STAR means a product meets strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy. For TVs, it means they save energy both in standby and active (when they're on) modes.
- ENERGY STAR qualified TVs use about 30% less energy than standard units.
- You can find the ENERGY STAR on everything from standard TVs, to HD-ready TVs, to the largest flat-screen plasma TVs.
Remember, saving energy prevents pollution.
By choosing ENERGY STAR, you are helping prevent global warming and promote cleaner air without sacrificing the product quality and performance you expect.
In addition to energy performance, there are many other important operating and convenience features to consider when shopping for televisions
