An energy conservation programme launched by the
US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with the
primary aim of promoting the manufacture and
marketing of energy-efficient office automation
equipment. Companies joining this programme must
be willing to commit themselves to manufacturing
one or more products capable of going into a low -
