(Are you a partner? For Partners)
The Version 2.0 ENERGY STAR specification for Audio/Video (AV) products is final as of November 16, 2009. All AV products that offer audio amplification or removable disc playback (e.g., CD, DVD, Blu-ray) are now eligible to earn the ENERGY STAR.
The new specification establishes On mode and low-power Sleep mode power consumption limits and Auto Power Down requirements that AV products must meet in order to earn the ENERGY STAR label. Consumer AV products covered under Version 1.0 Audio/DVD program, including Home-Theatre-in-a-Box, audio amplifiers, AV receivers, Shelf systems, DVD Players, and Blu-ray Disc players, will be subject to these new requirements on July 30, 2010 . Products previously excluded from earning the ENERGY STAR, such as commercial audio amplifiers and docking stations, are eligible to qualify under the new requirements effective immediately.
ENERGY STAR qualified electronics products help you save energy and money, while protecting the environment. You get all of the features and content you desire, while using less energy. Using less energy preserves energy resources and helps reduce the risks of global warming while saving money on energy bills.
Earning the ENERGY STAR means products meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy.
- ENERGY STAR qualified AV products that meet the new requirements use up to 60% less energy than standard models.
- ENERGY STAR qualified AV products come with all the latest features, including Internet connectivity.
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.
What else should I look for?
In addition to energy performance, there are many other important operating and convenience features to consider when shopping for AV products:
