In what year was EnergyStar introduced?

The Energy Star program was introduced in 1992 as a voluntary labeling program designed to identify and promote energy-efficient products and practices. The 1996 choice is significant because it was the year when Energy Star began expanding its labels beyond appliances to include other products such as electronics and homes.

The key point here is that while the program promotes energy efficiency, the year specifically related to its introduction is 1992, which is not listed among the choices. Instead, the year most likely associated with broader recognition or significant developments related to Energy Star is 1996. Therefore, among the options provided, the more relevant context would help clarify that none correctly point to the initial introduction year, as 1992 is the accurate date.
