What is Energy Star and what does it take to be Energy Star Certified?
In the world of foodservice equipment, being Energy Star certified is a badge of honor that represents a commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency. The Energy Star program is a joint initiative of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) that aims to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by promoting energy-efficient products and practices.
To be Energy Star certified, foodservice equipment must meet strict energy efficiency and performance standards set by the EPA. These standards are updated regularly to keep pace with advances in technology and changes in industry practices. Energy Star certified equipment typically uses 10-30% less energy than standard models, resulting in significant energy and cost savings over the lifetime of the equipment.
Why is Energy Star Certification important? What are the benefits for an operator?
But being Energy Star certified is more than just a label or a marketing gimmick. It's a tangible way for foodservice operators to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and reducing their carbon footprint. By choosing Energy Star certified equipment, operators can save money on energy bills, reduce their impact on the environment, and contribute to a more sustainable foodservice industry.
More details on the several benefits of buying Energy Star certified foodservice equipment:
Energy efficiency: Energy Star certified equipment is designed to use less energy than standard models. This means that they can help you save on your energy bills over time. In fact, Energy Star certified equipment can save up to 50% on energy costs compared to non-certified models.
Environmental benefits: Energy Star certified equipment is designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants associated with energy use. By choosing Energy Star certified equipment, you can reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Performance: Energy Star certified equipment is tested to ensure that it meets or exceeds performance standards. This means that you can be confident that your equipment will work as intended and provide the same or better performance than non-certified models.
Cost savings: While Energy Star certified equipment may have a slightly higher upfront cost than non-certified models, the long-term savings on energy bills can quickly outweigh the initial investment. Additionally, many utility companies offer rebates or incentives for purchasing Energy Star certified equipment, which can further reduce the overall cost.
Competitive advantage: By using Energy Star certified equipment, you can demonstrate your commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency to your customers. This can help you differentiate your business from competitors and attract customers who value sustainability.
In conclusion, being Energy Star certified in the foodservice equipment world is a mark of excellence and a commitment to sustainability. By choosing Energy Star certified equipment, operators can save money, reduce their impact on the environment, and contribute to a more sustainable foodservice industry. And we're proud to congratulate our brand, Beverage-Air, on being awarded the Energy Star Partner of the Year award in 2023, a testament to their leadership in energy efficiency and sustainability.
