Shop for EPEAT registered products at the retailers listed below, ask salespeople at other retail outlets or online retailers to provide information on products' EPEAT ratings and be prepared to steer them to www.epeat.net for more information. Happy shopping!

1. Not all EPEAT criteria currently apply to products bought by individual consumers. For instance, the requirements to offer product, packaging and battery take-back services apply only to institutional purchasers. However, many manufacturers already offer these services to consumers (it just isn’t an EPEAT requirement), so check with the individual manufacturer.
2. Computers and monitors designed for consumers tend to have more energy-intensive entertainment and media features than the typical office PC or laptop, including high-end video and sound; faster processors; larger and more hard disk drives; larger displays. Because of these features, some home computers do not meet the ENERGY STAR standard that is required for EPEAT registration.      Additionally, if you change the product configuration - for example adding a souped up processor - your product may no longer meet EPEAT or ENERGY STAR requirements. To avoid this when ordering individually configured products, make sure to ask the salesperson if any changes will make the product incompatible with EPEAT.
