Guidelines

These brand guidelines help ENERGY STAR partners to use the ENERGY STAR mark effectively and consistently. They detail how to use the mark on products and when promoting ENERGY STAR. By following the guidelines ENERGY STAR partners maintain the integrity of the ENERGY STAR brand and help build awareness of the mark.

This specification outlines the criteria for ENERGY STAR qualified Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL). A product must meet all of the identified programme requirements if it is to be registered with the New Zealand ENERGY STAR programme and carry the ENERGY STAR mark.

This document summarises the final draft ENERGY STAR heat pump specification v2.0.

The two key changes in the new specification are:

• A small increase in the levels of EER and COP in three of the four capacity bands.
• Inclusion of a winter performance requirement (under H2 conditions).

This specification will now be submitted to the United States ENERGY STAR programme for approval, with the expected launch date of 1 April 2010.
