On this page you'll find links to government energy efficiency websites that help you choose energy efficient products or find ways to make your home more energy efficient.

	ENERGY STAR Here's where you'll find the most detailed and up-to-date information on ENERGY STAR qualified appliances, heating systems, electronics, lighting, and other energy-consuming devices. Look here for the ENERGY STAR ratings of qualifying devices, before you buy. http://www.energystar.gov/
	Office of Energy Efficiency The Canadian Government's Office of Energy Efficiency has lots of helpful tips on making your home more energy efficient and on buying the highest-efficiency products. I like this site because it includes both ENERGY STAR qualified products and those with lower efficiency ratings. http://www.oee.nrcan.gc.ca/english
	Canada, New Brunswick: Efficiency NB - Home Efficiency NB offers sound advice and practical solutions to help New Brunswickers use energy more efficiently, make better energy choices, manage energy expenses and lessen the impact of energy use on the environment. http://www.efficiencynb.ca/
	US Southwest: Southwest Energy Efficiency Project The Southwest Energy Efficiency Project (SWEEP) is a public interest organization promoting greater energy efficiency in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. In this high growth region, energy efficiency efforts have been lagging compared to other regions, air pollution is a growing concern, and many new power plants are planned including some new coal-fired power plants. SWEEP focuses on electricity and natural gas conservation, promotion of combined heat and power systems, and programs targeting energy efficiency in the industrial and transportation sectors. http://www.swenergy.org/
	Energy Efficient Rehab Advisor The Energy Efficient Rehab Advisor lets you enter details about your home and choose a type of renovation project. It then gives you guidance on the costs and potential energy savings of a particular upgrade, and recommendations for how to proceed with your renovation while getting the maximum benefit at an affordable cost. http://www.rehabadvisor.pathnet.org/
	California's Appliance Efficiency Program California's Appliance Efficiency Regulations were established in 1976 in response to a legislative mandate to reduce California's energy consumption. The regulations are updated periodically to allow consideration and possible incorporation of new energy efficiency technologies and methods. Site contains the Current Appliance Regulations, an Appliance Efficiency database for consumers and manufacturers, and information for manufacturers. http://www.energy.ca.gov/appliances/
	Energy Labelling - Energy Rating Home Page Everyone has a role to play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. Choosing an energy efficient appliance is one way to do this while saving money. The Energy Rating site of the Government of Australia provides a searchable database of appliances available in Australia, with energy efficiency information for each. http://www.energyrating.gov.au/
