The authors discuss key issues arising from this transition, including renewed congressional funding, shifting administrative responsibilities, and continued enforcement of program requirements. They also explain what companies participating in Energy Star can expect as DOE assumes primary oversight, including ongoing compliance obligations, testing, and potential penalties for noncompliance.
