ENERGY STAR® was introduced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 1992 as a voluntary market-based partnership to reduce air pollution through increased energy efficiency. The ENERGY STAR label helps consumers easily identify products, homes and buildings that save energy and money, and help reduce air pollution and greenhouse gases.
The US Department of Energy joined the ENERGY STAR Program, overseeing the Energy Star label on appliances, windows, and compact fluorescent lamps.
OSRAM SYLVANIA joined ENERGY STAR in 1999 with its line of screw-based compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs)and now offers more than 50 different CFLs that carry the ENERGY STAR label.
ENERGY STAR offers businesses and consumers energy-efficient solutions to save energy, money and help protect the environment for future generations. More than 7,000 organizations have become ENERGY STAR partners and are committed to improving the energy efficiency of products, homes and businesses. For more information about ENERGY STAR.
Products that earn the ENERGY STAR use less energy and prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy. With energy costs and global warming top-of-mind for consumers, SYLVANIA is committed to offering solutions that help consumers conserve energy and improve the quality of our environment.
ENERGY STAR not only saves you money, it helps protect the environment
The typical household spends $1,900 a year on energy bills. With ENERGY STAR, you can save nearly $600 on energy bills. By choosing SYLVANIA ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs, you can save you money on your energy bills.
But more than saving energy, ENERGY STAR also makes a difference for the environment. Every time you flip on a light switch, run your dishwasher, or turn on your air conditioner, you use energy, which means more greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. So the more energy we can save through energy efficiency, the more we help to reduce greenhouse gases and the risks of global warming.
