Benefits

For many product types, the Federal Government is the largest purchaser in the world. Federal energy-efficient product procurement can therefore impact the worldwide market. By setting a clear standard for energy performance, Federal procurement requirements can shift the market toward greater production of energy-efficient products. That, in turn, improves availability and reduces cost for all consumers.
