What role do consumers play in the success of Energy Star?
Consumers are pivotal to the success of the Energy Star program. By choosing Energy Star-certified products, consumers drive the demand for energy-efficient technologies. This demand encourages manufacturers to innovate and design products that are more energy-efficient, thus reducing the overall environmental footprint. Additionally, informed consumers can also adopt energy-saving practices, such as proper maintenance of products and responsible usage, further contributing to the reduction of environmental impact and exposure to toxic substances.
