Energy star certified means energy efficiency and high-performance products, while saving money. Within this blog post we will discuss how Energy Star certified Restaurant Equipment could benefit your company and the criteria it takes for a piece of equipment to receive this certification from the EPA.
If an appliance is energy star certified it means it helps the environment through energy-efficient products and practices. The Energy Star label was established to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants. It also makes it easier for consumers to identify and purchase more environmentally sound products, which offers overall savings on energy bills without sacrificing, and in most cases increasing performance.
Products earn the Energy Star label by meeting the energy efficiency requirements set forth by the EPA. To gain the Energy Star label these products must contribute significant energy savings nationwide. Certified products must deliver the features and performance demanded by consumers, in addition to increased energy saving. If a certified product costs more than a conventional product that is less efficient, then the purchasers will recover their investment in increased energy effectiveness. This can be through utility bill savings or rebates available by gas and energy companies. A product that receives an Energy Star label, must have a measurable energy consumption, that is less than its other counterparts and can be tested.
As we move towards a more sustainable future, it is important to keep in mind your own restaurants’ impact on the environment and how your business could be conserving energy. Buying energy star certified equipment is an easy way to reduce admissions and streamline low costs for your business.
