Energy Star is a program run by which agencies?

• A. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy
• B. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
• C. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory
• D. The International Energy Agency

Answer: (A)

Energy Star is a U.S. federal program focused on energy efficiency and labeling that is run jointly by two agencies: the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. The EPA sets the performance criteria and manages the labeling system, while the DOE supports energy efficiency standards, program administration, and outreach. HUD handles housing policy but does not run Energy Star; NREL is a research lab under DOE, not the program administrator; and the International Energy Agency is an international organization, not a U.S. program administrator.
