What Are Energy Labels?
Energy labels are part of the Philippine Energy Labeling Program (PELP), a government initiative led by the Department of Energy (DOE). These labels provide standardized information about the amount of energy a product consumes and its efficiency compared to similar products.
The program covers appliances and lighting products, ensuring that consumers can make smarter, more sustainable choices when purchasing everyday essentials.
How to Read an Energy Label
Energy labels are designed to be simple and informative. Key elements include:
Brand and Model – Identifies the product.
Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) – A score or star rating that shows how efficient the product is.
Estimated Energy Consumption (kWh) – Helps you estimate electricity costs.
Performance Indicators – For lighting, this may include lumens (brightness) and wattage (power use).
Tip: Higher efficiency ratings and lower consumption values mean bigger savings on your electricity bill.
Benefits of Energy Labels
Empowerment: Consumers can compare products easily and make informed decisions.
Savings: Energy‑efficient products reduce monthly electricity costs.
Sustainability: Encourages manufacturers to innovate toward greener technologies.Trust: Labels are government‑mandated, ensuring credibility and transparency.
