Purchasing Toolkit

This guide was developed to make it easier for you to purchase energy-efficient products. Tools in this guide help address common purchasing barriers, including lack of information, first-cost bias and life-cycle cost-analysis requirements. Often, confusion arises due to a perception that change requires a reduction in quality or performance or to not knowing where and how to find what you need. This guide provides clear answers to questions about energy efficiency specifications, product performance and costs and how to find products. With this information, it becomes easy to recognize and communicate the benefits of choosing energy efficient products.
