Objective
The objective of the S&L program is to help consumers make an informed choice about various energy-consuming appliances, in terms of energy savings, that would result based on each appliance’s energy efficiency performance. This scheme also helps the consumer determine the cost-saving potential of the marketed household and other equipment. The broad objective of the scheme is: The S&L program aims to help consumers make an informed choice about various energy-consuming appliances, in terms of energy savings, that would result based on each appliance’s energy efficiency performance. This scheme also helps the consumer determine the cost-saving potential of the marketed household and other equipment. The broad objective of the scheme is:
- To reduce the end-use energy consumption of appliances without diminishing the service levels.
- To create awareness amongst the consumers, to make an informed decision considering the cost-effectiveness & energy performance while purchasing appliances.
- To monitor and verify energy savings that incur annually through the sale of energy-efficient appliances
Background
The scheme was launched by the Hon'ble Minister of Power in May 2006 and is currently invoked for 30 appliances/equipment. The scheme intends to reduce appliance energy consumption without diminishing the services it provides to consumers.
Star Labelled Appliances
The key objective of this program is to provide the consumer with an informed choice about energy saving and thereby the cost-saving potential of the relevant marketed appliance. The program was launched in 2006 and is presently invoked for 34 equipment/appliance. The first 11 appliances have been notified under mandatory labeling while the others are presently under the voluntary labeling phase. The energy efficiency labeling programs under BEE are intended to reduce the energy consumption of appliance without diminishing the services it provides to consumers. To facilitate, detailed information about the implementation of the S&L Programme, BEE has launched a comprehensive operation manual titled DISHA (DIsseminating Star Labelling in Household Appliance). The manual is available on BEE Star Label portal (www.beestarlabel.com)
