For Business
Because a strategic approach to energy management can produce twice the
savings - for the bottom
line and the environment - as typical approaches, EPA's ENERGY STAR
partnership offers a proven
energy management strategy that helps in measuring current energy
performance, setting goals,
tracking savings, and rewarding improvements.
EPA provides an innovative energy performance rating system which
businesses have already used
for more than 21,000 buildings across the country. EPA also recognizes top
performing buildings
with the ENERGY STAR. |
