About ENERGY STAR
ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy helping us all save money and protect the environment through energy efficient products and practices.
Results are already adding up. Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved enough energy in 2008 alone to avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 29 million cars - all while saving $19 billion on their utility bills.
Energy efficient choices can save families about a third on their energy bill with similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions, without sacrificing features, style or comfort. ENERGY STAR helps you make the energy efficient choice.

About the Consortium of Energy Efficiency (CEE)
The Super-Efficient Home Appliance Initiative (SEHA) is a national program designed to stimulate manufacturer and consumer interest in highly efficient home appliances. Launched in 1997, it provides a nationally recognized definition of "super-efficiency" through the establishment of performance tiers that utilities can voluntarily adopt for use in local programs. SEHA seeks to provide early markets for the very best energy-saving home appliances.
It complements the ENERGY STAR Appliance Program, a national consumer awareness and labeling program designed to educate consumers and establish a broadly recognized symbol for energy efficiency. ENERGY STAR generates momentum in the market for energy-efficient appliances. CEE's SEHA Initiative directs that momentum to the super-efficient end of the ENERGY STAR spectrum.
