Energy Efficiency Measures

ENERGY-EFFICIENT OFFICE EQUIPMENT

ENERGY STAR maintains lists of energy-efficient office equipment that meet thresholds of energy efficiency that are markedly improved over standard models. For example:

Computers	Have power management features that save 70% or more than computers without the feature
Copiers	40% improvement over standard models
Fax Machines	Have low-power modes that reduce overall electricity use by 40% over machines without the feature
Monitors	Have sleep modes that save 90% (while sleeping) over machines without it
Printers	Have low-power modes that save 60% over machines without the feature
Scanners	Efficient models save 50% over standard models
Water Coolers	Efficient models can save up to $47 per year over standard models

Details on office equipment that meet ENERGY STAR criteria for energy efficiency are available at www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=ofc_equip.pr_office_equipment.
