With all the concern about the world’s dwindling resources, conservation preoccupies most think tanks and policy initiators worldwide. In the United States, all the talk about conservation is substantiated through the mandate given to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Energy (DOE) to come up with initiatives that would reduce the impact of operating appliances and equipment to the environment. Thus, in 1992 the Energy Star program was launched as a channel for businesses and consumers to save, conserve, and help the environment. Today, the initiative has produced Energy Star qualified appliances, home and office equipment, as well as buildings.
