ENERGYSTAR

Did you know that a building or manufacturing plant can earn the ENERGY STAR label just like your refrigerator? An ENERGY STAR qualified facility
meets strict energy performance standards set by EPA and uses less energy, is less expensive to operate, and causes fewer greenhouse gas emissions
than its peers. Energy use in commercial buildings and manufacturing plants accounts for nearly half of all energy consumption in the U.S. at a cost
of over $200 billion per year, more than any other sector of the economy. Commercial and industrial facilities are also responsible for nearly half of
U.S. greenhouse gas emissions which contribute to global warming.

As of December 19, 2010, Federal agencies are now required to lease space in buildings that have earned EPA’s ENERGY STAR in
the most recent year. This provides an opportunity for owners and operators of ENERGY STAR labeled buildings to attract and retain Federal
tenants, and allows Federal agencies to help move the market for energy efficient buildings. Follow this link to the GSA website for the full excerpt...

For more than a decade, EPA has worked with businesses and organizations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through strategic energy
management practices. To qualify for the ENERGY STAR, a building or manufacturing plant must score in the top 25 percent based on EPA's National
Energy Performance Rating System. To determine the performance of a facility, EPA compares energy use among other, similar types of facilities on
a scale of 1-100; buildings that achieve a score of 75 or higher may be eligible for the ENERGY STAR. The EPA rating system accounts for differences
in operating conditions, regional weather data, and other important considerations.
