Why Does Green Start With Energy?

Energy is largest subset of a buildingsenvironmental and carbon footprint

Energy efficiency provides financial returns

In market-driven programs, Green does notnecessarily mean energy-efficient!

ENERGY STAR Research Conclusions

Difference in energy intensity between best and worstperforming buildings is > 300%

Difference between the best and the worst performers is notexplained by occupancy characteristics such as cooling orheating requirements

Design intent, building age, and the presence of specific

systems or technologies are not sufficient as indicators ofenergy performance in building operation

On average, ENERGY STAR qualified buildings

Use 35% less energy than average buildings

Have utility bills that are $0.50 less per square foot thanthose of average buildings


39/46

Contributes to better than average energy

performance and continuous improvement Ongoing commissioning practices

Measurement and verification protocols

Diligence in management practices

Personnel that recognize and pursue sustainedintegration of best practices and appropriate use oftechnologies

ENERGY STAR Research Conclusions

To Wrap Up

EPA voluntary partnership programs are a trustedsource of free and unbiased research, technical tools,and recognition opportunities for environmentalexcellence

A range of program offerings helps you to achieve

continuous improvement across all components ofsustainability

Remember that energy efficiency and carbonperformance is the first step to green!
