| Abstract | Since 2006, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Inspector General has conducted three evaluations of selected aspects of the ENERGY STAR program. This report summarizes past findings that remain relevant and identifies design and management challenges that present risks to the programs integrity as a means of greenhouse gas avoidance and as a credible tool to promote energy efficiency and consumer savings. ENERGY STAR is a voluntary program designed to help businesses and individuals enhance their energy efficiency. In 1996, EPA partnered with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to promote the ENERGY STAR label and broaden the product coverage. |
