MoreAnnual energy costs would be more prominently
displayed on the well-known yellow EnergyGuide labels affixed to common
household appliances.
The Federal Trade Commission said annual energy costs would be more prominently displayed on its well-known yellow EnergyGuide labels affixed to common household appliances. The new labels will display estimated operating costs in dollars per year to allow consumers to compare the energy efficiency of different appliance models. Like the old labels, the new labels will continue to display energy consumption, such as annual electricity use.
