accelerate market movement to greater 

efficiency.

products specification 2025 annual 

workplan is posted on the ENERGY 

STAR website at https://

www.energystar.gov/partnerlresources/ 

productslpartnerlresources/brandowner/spec-dev-efforts to allow 

interested parties to determine how they 

wish to engage with the EPA to track 

progress and share feedback. If you are 

not an ENERGY STAR partner and wish 

to stay informed about these 

specification development activities, 

please email join@energystar.gov to be
