ENERGY STAR® product categories

In New Zealand the ENERGY STAR mark is found on 12 different product categories - ranging from heat pumps and dishwashers to televisions and office equipment.  Each year, new product categories are added.

To qualify for ENERGY STAR products have to meet the requirements outlined in the specification for their category. ENERGY STAR specifications are designed so that the top 25 percent most efficient models in each product category qualify.

These are improved and upgraded at various intervals to keep up with advances in product technology.
