Energy Star

PCs and Home office equipment are the fastest increasing electricity users in the average home. As PC users, we can all contribute to reducing this energy consumption

The Energy Star® label is an international voluntary labelling scheme for energy efficient office equipment, both at home and in business. The Energy Star® label represents a minimum level of energy efficiency that environmentally conscious manufacturers will want to meet.

This allows you to choose a PC that will save you money on your electricity bill and is less harmful to the environment because of reduced CO2 emissions. Using the most efficient Energy Star equipment could save you as much as €150 - €200 in energy costs over the average lifetime of 5-6 years for your PC and printer.

The EU Energy Star website provides a database of the most energy efficient models within the group of Energy Star qualified office equipment. For this, as well as an Energy Star savings calculator, tips on selecting PC systems and imaging equipment visit www.eu-energystar.org/en/.
