Why Energy Star?

Around 85 percent of Americans recognize the bright blue Energy Star label as a symbol for energy efficiency, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). For over 20 years, the program has made it easy for consumers to identify energy-saving products that save money on utility bills while helping to protect the environment. Realizing the economic advantage of sporting the Energy Star label on their products, manufacturers have responded by developing innovative new technologies that have improved product quality across the board. The following information helps explain why the Energy Star label is so important.

Title 24 & JA8 Compliant

The definition of “high efficacy luminaires” includes all light sources identified as "efficient" under the 2013 Standards. This includes linear fluorescent, pin based compact fluorescent, GU-24 base CFL, HID, and induction. High efficacy products include any luminaire that contains a JA8-compliant lamp or other light source. In other words, any luminaire can qualify as high efficacy as long as it meets the requirements of Section 150.0 (k) and Joint Appendix JA8. Manufacturers must test their products at an accredited test laboratory and submit the results to the California Energy Commission to gain JA8 certification. A list of compliant products may be found at https://cacertappliances.energy.ca.gov.
