1. The Administrator shall adopt regulations which set forth standards to be used by using agencies when purchasing new appliances, equipment, lighting and other devices that use electricity, natural gas, propane or oil. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, the standards must require that such new appliances, equipment, lighting and other devices have received the Energy Star label pursuant to the program established pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 6294a, or its successor, or meet the requirements established pursuant to 48 C.F.R. § 23.203.

2. The standards described in subsection 1 do not apply insofar as:

(a) No items in a given class of appliances, equipment, lighting or other devices have been evaluated to determine whether they are eligible to receive the Energy Star label or have been designated by the Federal Government to meet the requirements established pursuant to 48 C.F.R. § 23.203; or

(b) The purchase of new appliances, equipment, lighting or other devices that have received the Energy Star label would not be cost-effective in an individual instance, comparing the cost of the item to the cost of the amount of energy that will be saved over the useful life of the item.
