Energy Star

As higher energy costs and global warming become more of a concern for consumers, Canon is committed to offering solutions that help our customers save money, conserve energy and improve the quality of our environment. For over ten years now, Canon has partnered voluntarily with the US Environmental Protection Agency to design products that meet the high standards of its ENERGY STAR® Programme.

The ENERGY STAR programme promotes the development and introduction of energy-efficient products to reduce global warming and other environmental issues.  All products that meet energy efficiency standards bear the ENERGY STAR logo.

As an ENERGY STAR partner and one of the leading producers of energy-efficient equipment, Canon has qualified more than 400 of its products since the programme began and is proud to offer copiers, printers, scanners, and multifunction devices that help protect the environment, without compromising features or performance.  Canon has been awarded "Energy Star Partner of the Year" several times.

Typical Electricity Consumption (TEC)
The new standard for declaring energy consumption is TEC and this is a method of testing and comparing the energy performance of imaging equipment products focussing on the typical electricity consumed by a product while in normal operation for a week.

TEC is a unified calculation method and makes energy efficiency comparable in tenders.
