ENERGY STAR® OVERVIEW OF
2013 ACHIEVEMENTS
ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROTECTS THE ENVIRONMENT AND STRENGTHENS THE ECONOMY
Global climate change continues to be a pressing environmental problem, but through energy efficiency, individuals and organizations are
already reaping the benefits of reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Consistent with the President's 2013 Climate Action Plan, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to support the deployment of energy-efficient products, practices, and services through
the ENERGY STAR program. This voluntary program represents one component of EPA's ongoing efforts to develop national programs,
policies, and regulations for reducing air pollution. The investment in both near- and long-term solutions to combat climate change through
energy efficiency is contributing to important health and environmental benefits while strengthening our economy.
Since 1992, the ENERGY STAR program has led the way in finding innovative solutions for reducing GHG emissions. Together with its diverse
set of partners, ENERGY STAR is dismantling market barriers that limit the growth of widespread energy efficiency and persist across the
residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. By offering technical assistance, developing tools, and sharing best practices, the ENERGY
STAR program helps consumers and businesses to improve energy efficiency. The ENERGY STAR program continues to be a trusted source
of information that helps Americans make energy-saving changes in the way they live and work.
This document provides a brief overview of key ENERGY STAR achievements in 2013.
RESULTS FOR 2013
In 2013, millions of consumers and 16,000 partners tapped the value of ENERGY STAR and achieved impressive financial and environmental
results. Their investments in energy-efficient technologies and practices reduced utility bills by $30 billion1 and will continue to provide cost
savings for years to come.
Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, prevented more than 277 million metric tons of GHG emissions2 (see Fig. 1) in 2013 alone—
providing over $10 billion in benefits to society due to reducing damages from climate change.3

ENERGY STAR FOR PRODUCTS
As the national symbol for energy efficiency, ENERGY STAR
makes it easy for consumers and businesses to purchase
products that save them money and protect the environment.
EPA remains focused on maintaining program integrity, while
expanding ENERGY STAR'S role as a trusted resource for
Americans in the fight against climate change.
Certified Products. Americans purchased nearly 300 million
ENERGY STAR certified products in 2013 across more than 70
product categories for a cumulative total exceeding
4.8 billion products since 1993 (see Fig. 2). Today, more than 85%
of the American public recognizes the ENERGY STAR label.
ENERGY STAR Most Efficient 2013. By the end of 2013, more than
1,500 models from nearly 140 manufacturers were recognized as
the "best of the best" in energy efficiency. Categories included
televisions, computer monitors, clothes washers, refrigerators,
heating and cooling equipment, ventilation and ceiling fans,
and windows.
ENERGY STAR Product Specifications. EPA updated
performance requirements for enterprise servers, imaging
equipment, computers, telephony, lamps, commercial
refrigeration and ovens, water coolers, refrigerators, boilers,
and roofs. ENERGY STAR added requirements for data center
storage, small network equipment, pool pumps, and commercial
water heaters.
Third-Party Certification for ENERGY STAR Products.
All products that earn the ENERGY STAR are subjectto strict
testing and certification requirements before they can carry the
label. As of the end of 2013, there were more than 45,000 certified
products. Verification testing administered by EPA-recognized
certification bodies is also in process for all product categories.
In 2013, EPA disqualified 62 models based on the results of this
post-market testing. The program's emphasis on testing and
third-party product review ensures that consumers can trust
ENERGY STAR certified products to deliver the energy savings
promised by the label.

Change the World, Start with ENERGY STAR Campaign.
Through 2013, more than 3.2 million individuals tookthe ENERGY
STAR pledge to make energy-efficient changes at home,
representing more than 15 billion pounds in GHG emissions
reductions. 2013 also marked the second year of Team ENERGY
STAR, this time featuring themes from the 20th Century Fox
movie, EPIC. Nearly 300,000 youths made an EPIC difference with
ENERGY STAR through pledges, stories, artwork, and community
service projects. PTO Today engaged thousands through Team
ENERGY STAR educational events atschools across the country.
A Boys & Girls Clubs of America event at an Atlantic City Club
that had been damaged as a result of Hurricane Sandy served as
a shining example of how energy-efficient improvements can not
only reinvigorate a Club, but also provide long-term community
benefits. These initiatives, along with thousands of partner-led
ENERGY STARs Across America events, represent a vital and
growing national movement to protect the environment from
climate change.
ENERGY STAR FOR HOMES
Through ENERGY STAR, EPA works to increase the energy
efficiency of the nation's new and existing housing stock to
cost-effectively reduce GHG emissions, while lowering
Americans' utility bills and improving the comfort of their homes.
Full Implementation of New Requirements for ENERGY
STAR Certified Homes. 2013 represented the first year for full
implementation of EPA's new, more rigorous requirements for
homes to earn the ENERGY STAR label. Homes certified under
these requirements are at least 15% more efficient than those
built to the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC),
and include additional energy-saving features to deliver a
performance advantage of up to 30% compared to typical new
homes. More than 90,000 new homes earned the ENERGY STAR
in 2013, bringing the total number of certified homes to more than
1.5 million (see Fig. 3). Since EPA began labeling new homes in
1995, American homeowners have saved over $4 billion on their
energy bills and reduced GHG emissions by more than 46 billion
pounds. In 2013 alone, families living in ENERGY STAR certified
homes saved in excess of $500 million on their utility bills.
ENERGY STAR for New Multifamily High-Rise Buildings.
Since multifamily high-rise buildings first became eligible to earn
the ENERGY STAR label, 69 buildings containing more than 6,100
individual units have been certified. These high-rise buildings
must meet EPA's energy efficiency guidelines and be designed to
be at least 15% more efficient than the building energy code. In
2013,28 buildings containing over 2,300 multifamily high-rise units
were certified. When combined with multifamily low-rise homes,
more than 100,000 multifamily housing units have been certified
to date.
Home Performance with ENERGY STAR. In 2013, an estimated
75,000 homes were improved through the whole house retrofit
program, Home Performance with ENERGY STAR (HPwES). This
work was performed by 52 locally sponsored programs, including
two new programs launched in 2013, and more than 2,000
participating contractors across the nation. Since the program's
inception, more than 330,000 homes have been improved
through HPwES. The HPwES program is administered by the U.S.
Department of Energy, with support from EPA.

-------
Energy Efficiency Guidance and Tools for Homeowners.
In 2013, nearly 1 million Americans visited the homes section
of the ENERGY STAR website to find information about home
efficiency improvements, and used the Home Energy Yardstick
and Home Energy Advisor to assess their homes' energy use
and get recommendations to help reduce utility bills and improve
comfort. In 2013, ENERGY STAR improved the Home Energy
Yardstick with the addition of Green Button. Homeowners with
access to Green Button can easily upload their home utility data
into the Yardstickto see how their home energy use compares to
other similar homes.
Affordable Housing. In fiscal year 2013, more than 5,000 ENERGY
STAR certified homes were built within the affordable housing
sector using funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development's HOME Investment Partnerships Program.
In addition, more than 120 Habitat for Humanity affiliates
nationwide built over 900 ENERGY STAR certified homes for
low-income families.
ENERGY STAR FOR BUSINESS
More than 7,000 organizations have partnered with EPA to deliver
GHG emissions reductions, reduce business risk, and increase
financial value through ENERGY STAR. These ENERGY STAR
partners demonstrate practical and proven solutions to increase
the efficiency of buildings and industrial plants and serve as
examples for others to follow.
ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager Gets Turbo Charged.
In 2013, EPA released a complete upgrade for ENERGY STAR
Portfolio Manager, the industry-leading benchmarking tool used
by more than 70,000 individual accounts to measure, track,
assess, and report on the energy and water consumption of
more than 325,000 commercial buildings nationwide—nearly
40% of the nation's commercial building space (see Fig. 4). The
new tool improves collaboration through advanced reporting
and increased security. It offers easier data entry and enhanced
graphics, data checks, and custom tabs to plan and set goals
for current and future projects. This makes it possible to track a
building from design to operation.

1-100 ENERGY STAR Scores Launched in Canada. Through a
multi-year partnership with Natural Resources Canada, ENERGY
STAR Portfolio Manager debuted in Canada with a scoring
system for commercial buildings. The unprecedented launch
increased the functionality of Portfolio Manager, making it easier
for multinational organizations to use one platform for consistent
energy management.
ENERGY STAR Certification for Top Performance. By the end
of 2013, more than 23,000 buildings and plants representing
more than 3 billion square feet of space had earned ENERGY
STAR certification. These top performers demonstrate that it is
possible to emit 35% fewer GHG emissions than typical facilities
while delivering financial value to an organization. Academic,
industry, and EPA studies have shown that ENERGY STAR
certified buildings cost less to operate, increase the asset value
of the property, and have increased rents and fewer turnovers
than similar non-certified buildings.
The Battle of the Buildings Advances. The 2012 competition
ended with more than 3,000 competitors who reduced annual
GHG emissions equal to the electricity used by more than 43,000
homes. The winning elementary school from Bloomfield, NJ cut
its energy use by 52%. More than 85 buildings reduced energy by
at least 20% in one year.
New Levels of Industrial Efficiency. EPA expanded to new
industries in 2013, creating an ENERGY STAR focus for aluminum
casting and releasing a new energy guide for concrete
manufacturers. EPA also updated valuable energy efficiency
guides for the cement and petroleum industries. Partners
continued to adopt the ENERGY STAR Guidelines for Energy
Management as a foundation for significant improvement, and a
record number of industrial sites also committed to the ENERGY
STAR Challenge for Industry. Seventy-one met or exceeded their
targets in 2013 by achieving a 10% reduction in energy intensity.
Reaching More Audiences Through the ENERGY STAR
partnership, service and product providers, utility companies,
energy efficiency program administrators, and federal, state, and
local governments are using tools such as Portfolio Manager
to connect energy users to energy solutions through local
competitions, mandates, rebates, and other opportunities.
