  • Reduce use of primary materials by 36.6 metric tons, equivalent to the weight of one tractor-trailer 18-wheeler

Energy-Related Savings
EPEAT’s requirement that registered products meet the latest ENERGY STAR specifications means these products will consume less energy throughout their useful life, resulting in:

  • Savings of 103,000 kWh of electricity—enough to power 8 U.S. homes for a year
  • Reduction of 17.9 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions— equivalent to taking 13 average U.S. passenger cars off the road for a year
  • $10,600 in lifetime cost savings
