Introduction
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3
According to the EPA, a computer meeting the new ENERGY
STAR
®
specifications will use between 30% and 60% less energy
depending on how it is used. If all U.S. households and businesses
replaced old computers with new ENERGY STAR
®
qualified
models, we would save more than $2 billion in energy costs each
year and avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to nearly 3
million cars.
If every computer purchased by businesses this year met the new
ENERGY STAR
®
requirements, businesses would save more than
$1.6 billion over the lifetime of those models. That is equivalent to
lighting 840 million square feet of U.S. commercial building space
each year.
During 2008, Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR
®
, saved
about $19 billion dollars on their utility bills and avoided
greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 29 million
vehicles.

RoHS requirements by conducting component sampling inspections
during the product design approval process.
