ENERGY STAR Savings
Xerox formalized its commitment to energy-efficient product design in 1993 by joining the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR Office Equipment program as a Charter Partner. Since then, we have introduced more than 300 copier, printer, fax, and multifunction products that have earned ENERGY STAR status. All eligible Xerox products introduced in 2005 met ENERGY STAR criteria.

A product’s ability to enter a power-saver mode, or series of modes, after a specified period of non-use is a key factor in winning ENERGY STAR status. Because office equipment is often inactive for portions of a workday and may be left on overnight, this power-saver feature substantially reduces energy use.

A systems approach at Xerox coordinates advances in fusing technology and new electronics architectures to make today’s equipment significantly more energy efficient than comparable 1990 models, even while enhancing functionality, such as color capability.

In 2005 alone, Xerox ENERGY STAR equipment in customer locations around the world – several million machines – enabled energy savings of 34 million therms (1.0 million megawatt hours). These energy savings translate into an avoidance of nearly 550,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

By remanufacturing equipment with reused parts in 2005, Xerox saved an additional 9 million therms of energy (280,000 megawatt hours) and prevented 54,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions from entering the atmosphere.

In total, the energy saved in 2005 through ENERGY STAR product features and equipment remanufacturing was enough to light nearly 1 million U.S. homes for a year.
