Printed as: Energy Star. The listing prints Energy Star.
What it is
ENERGY STAR describes itself as the government-backed symbol for energy efficiency, and says it is administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Three listings in this catalog print Energy Star, and each of them is a dehumidifier that also prints a pint figure.
Who runs it
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
The ENERGY STAR program is administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and its product pages are published on energystar.gov.
What it does not promise
- The name concerns energy efficiency as the program defines it. On these listings it says nothing about how a unit suits a particular room, and the site does not read it that way.
- A listing that prints Energy Star is making a claim. The site did not look any of these models up in the program’s own records.
Where the pint figure comes from
ENERGY STAR’s page on dehumidifier testing defines capacity as the amount of water removed per day, over 24 hours, at test conditions, reported in pints/day. The federal test method, 10 CFR Part 430, Subpart B, Appendix X1, refers to AHAM DH-1-2022 for the capacity test. None of the listings here says which test its own figure comes from.
