For all other product categories, EPA will use certification data to recognize products and will contact partners as new models that meet the ENERGY STAR Most Efficient criteria are certified. Since the recognition criteria have not changed for ceiling and ventilating fans, computer monitors, dehumidifiers, clothes dryers, refrigerator- freezers, and room air conditioners, models recognized in 2022 will be automatically recognized in 2023.
We look forward to working with you in 2023 to promote your ENERGY STAR Most Efficient models.
