Is energy star the best efficiency rating?



  1. 0 Votes

    The US Environmental Protection Agency offers the Energy Star labeling system for energy efficient electronics.  The system is not comprehensive, only providing information on energy consumption but does not show total environmental impact of the product.  The Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool, or EPEAT gives a more comprehensive overlook at the environmental impact of computers, laptops and monitors.  The Energy Star system covers more than just computers but the EPEAT looks at the lifespan impact of each item.
