ENERGY STAR Specification Development
• Product Selection: – Based on national energy savings
potential, ability of label to influence consumers
– Recommendations from internal analysis or partners
• Specifications:– Must be significant improvement
over national average– Developed with stakeholder
(industry, utilities, and efficiency advocates) input

NEXT STEPS
• Operations and Maintenance– Develop and execute O&M plans
that ensure original design intent is maintained•Specify ENERGY STAR for routine
replacements•Develop preventative maintenance
and recommissioning plans to ensure continued peak performance
