Governments save with LED energy-saving applications

Local and state governments may obtain significant reductions in energy bills by changing purchasing policies to specify ENERGY STAR qualified products.

There are many ways government facilities can save energy such as:

• Use Energy Star rated computer monitors and computers
• Replace conventional vending machines with Energy Star rated vending equipment
• Replace incandescent EXIT signs with LED EXIT signage
• Replace copiers with Energy Star rated copiers
• Replace conventional traffic signals with LED signals

These products can save you  millions in electricity costs  and prevent tons of carbon dioxide emissions over their lifetime compared to conventional products.

The Purchasing and Procurement Web site (www.energystar.gov/purchasing) helps you locate ENERGY STAR products by brand and model number, understand the differences between ENERGY STAR and non-ENERGY STAR products, and determine savings with ENERGY STAR.
