What is the Enervee® Score?

The Enervee® Score. Actionable energy efficiency.

The Enervee® Score helps you find the most energy-efficient brands by translating product performance and energy use into a universal 0 to 100 score. A higher score means greater energy efficiency and lower energy use for a product’s size, capacity, or performance.

The Enervee® Score is dynamic, meaning it is updated daily for all brands based on the range of products currently available on the market. For example, if Samsung or Sharp releases a more energy-efficient range of OLED TVs, the Enervee® Scores of existing models may adjust to reflect the expanded efficiency range within that category.

We break the Enervee® Score into four energy-efficiency levels to make comparisons easy:

• Not Good: 0–50

• Good: 51–75

• Very Good: 76–90

• Ideal: 91–100

This scoring methodology allows you to quickly identify top-performing products by comparing thousands of appliances and electronics across categories such as TVs, refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, air conditioners, and more.

The Enervee® Score is updated daily and seamlessly integrated into product listings, allowing you to sort and filter products by energy efficiency, cost, and other features.

Calculating the Enervee® Score

The Enervee® Score is calculated based on how much more or less energy a product uses compared to others of the same size, capacity, or performance. Key attributes vary by product category and include the following:

• Televisions: Screen size (diagonal inches) and kWh/year

• Refrigerators: Capacity (cubic feet) and kWh/year

• Freezers: Capacity (cubic feet) and kWh/year

• Projectors: Lumens of brightness and kWh/year

• Clothes Washers: Cubic feet of volume per kWh per cycle

• Dishwashers: Cycles per kWh

• Clothes Dryers: Pounds of clothes per kWh

• Tablets: Performance (screen size, resolution, processing power, battery life) and kWh/year

• Video Game Consoles: Performance (CPU speed, memory, storage capacity) and kWh/year

• Air Conditioners: BTUs of cooling power per watt

• Monitors: Screen size (diagonal inches) and kWh/year

• Light Bulbs: Lumens of brightness and watts

Enervee follows industry standards for performance and energy efficiency ratings set by the U.S. Department of Energy. For product categories that are not regulated by the DOE—such as video game consoles and tablets—Enervee collaborates with key stakeholders to develop proprietary energy-efficiency rating methodologies.
