能源之星是美国环境保护署 (EPA) 于 1992 年推出的一项自愿性标签计划。其主要目标是帮助消费者和企业识别和购买节能产品。该计划旨在在不牺牲性能、功能或舒适度的前提下，减少能源消耗、降低温室气体排放并减缓气候变化。

The Energy Star program was established under the authority of the Clean Air Act, Section 103(g), and was introduced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a structured voluntary program. The initial concept, championed by John S. Hoffman of the EPA, was to create a market-based mechanism to reduce pollution. Instead of traditional command-and-control regulation, Energy Star provided a positive incentive for manufacturers to innovate and produce more energy-efficient products. The program began by targeting a single product category: computers and monitors. The iconic blue Energy Star logo was designed to be a simple, credible, and easily recognizable symbol for consumers. The program’s partnership model was a key novelty; it engaged manufacturers, retailers, and utilities to promote the label and the products that earned it. This collaborative approach helped accelerate the adoption of energy-efficient technologies by aligning environmental goals with economic benefits for both producers and consumers, such as lower electricity bills. The program’s success in the IT sector led to its rapid expansion into other areas.
