Fact sheets, store training materials, and other resources to assist convey the advantages of buying ENERGY STAR-certified items.

Heating and Cooling Materials, Tools, and Resources with the ENERGY STAR

ENERGY STAR-certified heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) devices fulfill the government's high energy efficiency requirements and save energy without sacrificing product quality or performance. They require less energy, resulting in decreased power costs and less greenhouse gas emissions.

This is an additional resource that EPA makes available to its heating and cooling partners. Each training module will offer you with up-to-date savings figures and critical messaging to enable you, your team, and your vendors successfully communicate with consumers about the benefits of buying ENERGY STAR-qualified items.
