Energy Star
 The Basics: Author: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Department of Energy URL:http://www.energystar.gov/ Date: None available Notes: At a Glance: The Energy Star website provides information about energy efficient products and practices around the home with the goal of reducing energy costs and emissions. The website provides comprehensive and searchable lists of all products that meet the government's requirements for energy efficiency and have earned the Energy Star label. Categories include appliances, heating & cooling, home electronics, lighting, and office equipment. The website also features a Home Advisor tool that suggests energy-efficient home improvements along with the potential energy savings of each improvement. Best for: The Energy Star website is most relevant to people making household purchasing decisions who want to be environmentally responsible. It also provides excellent information for those people trying to cut their home energy costs. Standout Features: The searchable database of Energy Star label products and the Home Advisor tool make this website worthwhile to explore for anyone interested in saving money through efficiency. Also offered on this website are free downloadable guides to energy efficient heating and cooling, home sealing, duct sealing, buying a new home, changing your bulbs and many more. These are practical step-by-step guides on how to save energy and money in your home. Keep in Mind: It is difficult to find dates for when the website was last updated. Consequently, it is difficult to know how current the product database is. Also, keep in mind that the website is a joint venture of the Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy, so it is not a commercial enterprise. Suggested by: rcasper and GailG |
