Energy Factor (EF) is a measurement to compare relative efficiencies of dishwashers. The higher the EF, the more efficient the dishwasher. The EF is the energy performance metric of both the federal energy efficiency standard and the Energy Star qualified dishwasher program. The federal Energy Guide label on dishwashers shows the annual energy consumption and cost. EF is expressed in cycles per kWh and is the reciprocal of the sum of the machine electrical energy per cycle plus the water heater energy consumption per cycle.

The MEF of Modified Water Factor, is a criteria for clothes washers not dishwashers to meet the Energy star guidelines. Water Factor is determined by the number of gallons needed for each cu ft. of laundry.
