Sarah O'Brien didn't have to look far to find affordable, energy-efficient electronics to pack for her daughter's journey to college. That's because she works for a government-backed organization that helps do just that.
The Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool, originally funded by the Environmental Protection Agency and run by the Green Electronics Council, helps consumers find green-friendly notebooks, laptops and desktops. Its website, epeat.net, boasts about 40 manufacturers and more than 2,700 registered products.
"If this were 10 or 15 years ago, it really would be a challenge to find more sustainable options in this category," says O'Brien, the communications director for EPEAT.
The EPA is continuously tightening the qualifications for "green" electronics. Because well-known tech companies are listening and want in, it's become relatively easy to outfit the college dorm room with such products — without breaking the bank with battery such as dell Inspiron 1525 battery , dell Inspiron 1526 battery , Dell HP297 battery , dell GW240 battery , dell RN873 battery , dell XR693 battery , dell 0XR693 battery , dell 312-0625 battery , Dell Latitude X200 battery , Dell 8U443 battery , Dell Latitude X200 battery , Dell 312-0058 battery , O'Brien says.
The EPA has dubbed more than 60 types of home and office products — such as laptops, refrigerators and televisions — as energy-efficient and stamped them with the Energy Star label.
College students can find these products at many stores, and many popular brands already wear the Energy Star certificate, according to the EPA. Here's a look at some of those products.
•TV. Earning the Energy Star title as this year's most-efficient television is the 15-inch Insignia (model NS-15E720A12), which easily fits into a crowded dorm room, says Patrick McGinnis, Best Buy's vice president of global product development and engineering. It costs $129 and can be purchased at Best Buy. To boost its energy-friendly factor, the TV contains LED back-lighting — making it 40% more energy-efficient than TVs that don't, McGinnis says.•Computers. Apple, Hewlett-Packard and Dell sell a slew of Energy Star-rated, EPEAT-listed items.
Among those, Apple last month updated its $999 MacBook Air, featuring a long battery life: It can last up to 30 days in standby mode, according to Apple. All Apple products are Energy Star-certified.
On average, HP products are 50% more energy-efficient than they were six years ago, according to Kerry Smith, HP's education markets manager. The Energy Star-certified, EPEAT-registered HP Pavilion model dm4, priced at $579.99, is just one such example.
With a battery life of up to five hours when in use, the $549.99 Dell Inspiron model 14R also is one of many that has garnered the Energy Star label.
Depending on how often the laptop is used, these products can decrease energy consumption about 30% to 65%, according to the EPA. Each is equipped with a power-management system that puts the computer into "sleep mode" after a period of inactivity to save energy — and that precious battery life.
