Which Products are on Quantity Quotes?
Quantity Quotes promotes the purchase of energy-efficiency and green products. In order to be available on the Quantity Quotes website, products must meet certain environmental criteria in one of the following categories:
ENERGY STAR Products
ENERGY STAR is the trusted, government-backed symbol for energy efficiency helping us all save money and protect the environment through energy-efficient products and practices. Products can earn the ENERGY STAR label by meeting the energy efficiency requirements set forth in ENERGY STAR product specifications. The US EPA establishes these specifications based on the following set of key guiding principles:
- Product categories must contribute significant energy savings nationwide.
- Qualified products must deliver the features and performance demanded by consumers, in addition to increased energy efficiency.
- If the qualified product costs more than a conventional, less-efficient counterpart, purchasers will recover their investment in increased energy efficiency through utility bill savings, within a reasonable period of time.
- Energy efficiency can be achieved through broadly available, non-proprietary technologies offered by more than one manufacturer.
- Product energy consumption and performance can be measured and verified with testing.
- Labeling would effectively differentiate products and be visible for purchasers.
ENERGY STAR products available on Quantity Quotes include:
- Light bulbs
- Light fixtures
- Clothes washers
- Dehumidifiers
- Dishwashers
- Refrigerators
- Room air conditioners
