Environmental Research

The Environmental House occasionally conducts or sponsors research projects on issues that affect the local community. Click on the links below to view the findings of past projects.

Instructors and students please contact the EnHouse at (734) 662-6288 or email info@environmentalhouse.org to learn about current issues that could be the basis of upcoming projects. Of course, if you have an idea for a project, we'd love to find out how we can be of assistance.

The Energy Star Report
The Energy Star label denotes a product as being at the top of its class for energy efficiency. Only products that meet the U.S. Department of Energy and the US Environmental Protection Agency standards for energy efficiency qualify for the Energy Star. Consumers save money with Energy Star products because they use less energy than conventional products and cost less to operate. The Energy Star is found on a wide variety of products ranging from electronics and appliances, to windows, and even new houses! Recycle Ann Arbor has teamed up with the Michigan Department of Consumer and Industry Services to locate Energy Star retailers and test consumer awareness in Ann Arbor.
