Which environmental rating do HP Z displays have?

Question

Options

• AEnergy Star
• BHERS rating
• CCommon Criteria Certified
• DEPEAT

• A
  93% (28)
• B
  3% (1)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

HP Z displays carry the Energy Star certification, a widely recognized U.S. EPA program that identifies energy-efficient products meeting strict power consumption standards - making option A correct.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (HERS rating) is a Home Energy Rating System score used for residential buildings, not electronics.
• C (Common Criteria Certified) is a security evaluation framework for IT products, focused on cybersecurity rather than environmental efficiency.
• D (EPEAT) is a separate electronics sustainability registry; while HP products may appear there, it is not the specific rating associated with HP Z displays in this context.

Memory tip: Think "E" for "Energy Star" and "E" for "electronics" - Energy Star is the go-to environmental rating for display hardware, while HERS stays in homes and Common Criteria stays in security.
