"ENERGY STAR offers businesses and consumers energy efficient solutions -- helping to save money while protecting the environment for future generations."

ENERGY STAR was introduced by the US Environmental Protection Agency in 1992 as a voluntary labeling program designed to identify and promote energy-efficient products, in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. EPA partnered with the US Department of Energy in 1996 to promote the ENERGY STAR label, with each agency taking responsibility for particular product categories. ENERGY STAR has expanded to cover new homes, most of the buildings sector, residential heating and cooling equipment, major appliances, office equipment, lighting, consumer electronics, and more product areas.

Cooper is listed on the Energy Star website as a Residential Lighting Fixture Partner and as a supplier of Energy Star Exit Signs. No category currently exists within the Energy Star program for commercial lighting fixtures. Energy star is aware of this and has a process for adding categories.
