"We are glad to be working with the ENERGY STAR program and feel it's an important step in our dedication to environmental awareness," said Bengt Rittri, President of Blueair.

In 2005, Blueair was among the first to earn the ENERGY STAR designation. The ENERGY STAR program is sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy.

Today, all models exceed ENERGY STAR's minimum energy efficiency guidelines of 2.0 dust CADR to watt ratio (see www.energystar.gov).

Kathleen Hogan, Director of EPA's Climate Protection Partnerships Division says, "Blueair has been a true industry leader in contributing to the development of the ENERGY STAR room air cleaner specifications and successful launch of ENERGY STAR qualified room air cleaners on the market."
