ENERGY STAR Reduces Facility Energy Use by Improving Communication

Pop quiz: How does your building’s energy performance compare this year to last? How does it compare to other similar buildings across the nation?

If you can answer those questions in fewer than five minutes, that means you’re one of a growing number of facility executives using ENERGY STAR to monitor your buildings. ENERGY STAR is a free program that takes a variety of factors — utility data, degree days and building size — and boils energy performance down to one simple number that quickly shows how a building performs compared to others.
