Energy Star vs. Standard Models – The Benefits Are Clear
ENERGY STAR certified room air purifiers are 40% more energy-efficient than standard models. The following information details performance requirements, technological features, savings assumptions and savings facts that can be used to promote the benefits of ENERGY STAR.
ENERGY STAR REQUIREMENTS |
|
|
EQUIPMENT |
SPECIFICATION |
|
ROOM AIR CLEANERS |
Must produce a minimum 50 CADR for dust to be considered under the specification. |
|
Minimum Performance Requirement = 2.0 CADR/Watt (dust) |
|
|
Standby Power Requirement = 2.0 Watts Qualifying models that perform secondary consumer functions (e.g. clock, remote control) must meet the standby power requirement. |
|
|
UL Safety Requirement: Models that emit ozone as a byproduct of air cleaning must meet UL Standard 867 (ozone protection must not exceed 50ppb) |
