Product Description
Energy Star Certification in the United States Energy Star/DOE Certification
Certification Introduction
Energy Star is an energy-saving program led by the US government, mainly for consumer electronic products. The Energy Star program was launched in 1992 by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Department of Energy (DOE) with the aim of reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The program was later adopted by Australia, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, New Zealand and the European Union. The program is voluntary, and the Energy Star standard is usually 20-30% more energy-efficient than the US federal standard. The earliest products that cooperated with this program were mainly information appliances such as computers, and then gradually extended to motors, office equipment, lighting, home appliances, etc. Later, it was also extended to buildings. The US Environmental Protection Agency began to actively promote the Energy Star Building Program in 1996. The EPA assisted voluntary participants in evaluating the energy use of their buildings (including lighting, air conditioning, office equipment, etc.), planning the building's energy efficiency improvement action plan and subsequent tracking operations, so some homes or commercial buildings that have introduced new environmental protection concepts can also find the Energy Star logo.
Current status
There are seven countries and regions in the world participating in the Energy Star program promoted by the US Environmental Protection Agency, namely the United States, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, and the European Union. They have held an annual international Energy Star program meeting since 2001. Now there are more than 30 categories of products included in this certification, such as household appliances, heating/cooling equipment, electronic products, lighting products, etc. At present, the most popular products in the Chinese market are lighting products, including energy-saving lamps (CFL), lamps (RLF), traffic lights and exit lights.

Energy Star Home Program
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star Home Program is a national voluntary program aimed at building a new type of home with a 30% increase in energy efficiency. Qualified Energy Star homes must be verified by a third party to confirm that the builder has appropriately adopted measures to improve energy efficiency. Seeing the Energy Star logo allows homebuyers to make a purchase with confidence without being an expert. In general, Energy Star homes use 30% less energy than homes built to conventional energy codes, while protecting the environment and saving residents money on energy bills. The construction of Energy Star homes benefits not only the buyer, but also builders, mortgage companies, and other organizations in the housing industry, so home builders across the United States support the Energy Star Homes program.
Homes are usually newly built because it is much easier to build a home that meets energy-saving regulations than to renovate an existing home. Although upgrading a home to receive the Energy Star logo is expensive, it can significantly reduce energy costs, so it is still a good idea to upgrade existing homes to energy-saving. When replacing air conditioning equipment, electrical equipment, or lighting equipment, you should also consider purchasing products with the Energy Star logo, which can further improve the energy efficiency of the home.
The Energy Star Homes program uses the Home Energy Rating System (HERS) to determine the energy efficiency score of a home. New and existing homes must meet the same energy efficiency standards to receive the Energy Star label. To receive a HERS rating, or to seek a path to receive the Energy Star label, you need to consult a local certified residential energy rating agency to compare a model home (which is the same size and shape as the home being rated and meets the minimum requirements of the energy code). The HERS rating system provides an objective, standardized evaluation of the energy efficiency of a home. The HERS rating score ranges from 0 to 100. The model home scores 80 points. Every 5% reduction in energy consumption compared to the model home is equal to a one-point increase in HERS. The lowest HERS rating for an Energy Star home is 86. The HERS rating includes an on-site inspection of the home. This inspection includes a blower door test and a duct leak test. The results of these tests, along with other information about the home, are entered into a simulated computer program to calculate the HERS score and estimate annual energy costs.
Energy-saving window use
Energy Star homes are equipped with high-performance energy-saving windows to improve the energy efficiency of the home. Quieter indoor environment - multi-layered glass and sealed window frames block external noise; prevent curtains, furniture and floor fading - low reflectivity coating on the surface of energy-saving windows can block 98% of ultraviolet rays; lower cost of use - energy-saving windows reduce heat loss in winter and prevent heat gain in summer; improved quality - energy-saving windows are made of high-quality materials, are easy to use, and provide users with extra protection. Windows occupy about 10-25% of the exterior wall area of a home, and depending on the local climate, they consume 25-50% of the energy used to heat and cool a room. Therefore, it is important to consider using energy-saving windows when building a new home.
Heating and Cooling Equipment
Energy Star homes are equipped with appropriately powerful and efficient heating and cooling equipment. During the construction of the home, by paying proper attention to the sealing of air ducts, the thermal performance of the home and the installation of energy-saving windows, the power of heating and cooling equipment in Energy Star homes is generally less than that of homes built according to general energy codes.
Reduced cost of use - heating and cooling equipment does not need to be overloaded;
Reduce maintenance issues - heating and cooling equipment always operates at optimal conditions;
Quieter home environment - no need to continuously and frequently switch on and off high-power equipment.
The loose air and ventilation ducts mean that the heating and cooling equipment of ordinary houses needs to increase its power to quickly meet its requirements for heating and cooling. However, there are great disadvantages of such high-power equipment: â‘ It cannot run for a long time to reach its most efficient operating level; â‘¡ When the system cannot run for a long time to remove moisture from the air, it causes the problem of dampness in the house; â‘¢ High-power equipment often causes the equipment to break down quickly due to frequent startup. Tight air and ventilation ducts reduce the demand for heating and cooling of air conditioning gas in the house, thus avoiding the use of high-power equipment.
Improved insulation performance
Compared with houses built according to general energy specifications, the insulation performance of Energy Star houses has been greatly improved. Improved insulation performance not only prevents excessive heat and cold from spilling out, but also maintains a constant temperature between rooms.
Improved comfort - maintaining a constant temperature throughout the house and between rooms.
Lower Utility Costs - HVAC equipment compensates for the small amount of heat and cold that a home experiences in the winter and summer.
To effectively maintain the temperature of a home, a continuous layer of insulation is required both inside and outside. The insulation must be laid without cracks, curling or compression. Energy Star homes must also pay attention to insulation around obstructions such as pipes, wires and outlets.
Seal Well
Sealed Ducts Energy Star homes have much higher requirements for duct sealing than homes built to general energy codes. Sealed ducts are essential to energy conservation and maintaining home comfort.
More Continuous Comfort - Allocate for Each Room
Significantly Improve Indoor Air Quality - Reduce the amount of dust and other pollutants that a room inhales from the outside.
Lower Utility Costs - Reduce the need for air conditioning in a room. In a typical American home, air leaks from the ducts as much as 20-30%, which means a lot of money is spent unnecessarily to warm or cool the room. Duct systems should be kept sealed and tested locally to reduce air conditioning leaks.
Energy-saving renovations
Owners of existing homes can use the ENERGY STAR Home Benchmark, an Internet-based assessment tool, to compare their annual energy consumption with similar homes in their country. This tool helps owners of existing homes understand whether their homes meet energy-saving requirements and whether they should upgrade their homes to improve energy efficiency. On the ENERGY STAR website, this tool can also help owners of existing homes quickly decide which home renovation methods to choose to improve energy efficiency.
The ENERGY STAR Homes program also provides a "Home Renovation Toolbox" to help existing homes make energy-saving renovations. The average household spends $1,400 a year on energy use. With the help of the Home Renovation Toolbox, these expenses can be reduced by 30%, or nearly $400. When repairing, rebuilding or improving existing homes, the energy-saving measures in the Home Renovation Toolbox can help homeowners improve the energy efficiency, use value and comfort of their homes, and protect the ecological environment by reducing energy consumption. For homeowners, the "Home Renovation Toolbox" makes home renovation and repair projects easier.
