Consumers Scoff at Energy Star’s Recommendation to Economize on Air-Conditioning.
Energy Star’s advice to nudge the thermostat up sparked a heated backlash from consumers who refuse to trade comfort for a lower energy bill —.
If there’s one thing we know for certain, it’s that consumers are tired of having to sacrifice their comfort and satisfaction to keep their growing bills at bay.
Tempers flared and debates got heated when a consumer report by Energy Star—a Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency program gave its recommendations for air-conditioning settings at home.
The response was somewhat predictable: it seems that consumers don’t want to sweat through the night in order to lower their energy bill.
And the conversation on Twitter is not cooling.
The heated online debate prompted the DOE to issue an official statement clarifying their recommendation, “It is the position of DOE that Americans should set their thermostats to whatever temperature they choose.
