Last week, CREDA joined a diverse group of associations representing the real estate, consumer products, manufacturing, retail and conformity assessment sectors in sending a letter to the House and Senate Appropriations committees urging them to continue full federal funding for the Energy Star program in the fiscal year 2027 Department of Energy (DOE) appropriations.

Management of the Energy Star program is transitioning from the Environmental Protection Agency to DOE, and this letter from the program’s stakeholders is intended to inform congressional appropriators of the importance of keeping Energy Star adequately funded.
