ENERGY STAR® is more than a label awarded for energy efficiency. It is
a voluntary partnership between business, government, and others united in the
pursuit of a common goal: to protect our environment for future generations by
changing to energy-efficient practices today.
Businesses can use ENERGY STAR® to improve efficiency, enhance
profits, and create competitive advantages that shine in the eyes of
shareholders and customers alike.
ENERGY STAR®’s mission is to help businesses protect the environment
through superior energy efficiency. Because a strategic approach can produce
twice the savings – for your bottom line and the environment – 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.
ENERGY STAR® provides a host of technical assistance tools to make
your business, building, and processes more energy efficient, as well as
marketing opportunities so you can let your customers know that you are working
hard to save energy and improve the environment. Any business, large or small,
non-profit organization or government, can participate.
ENERGY STAR® technical and outreach tools will help your business:
- Assess current energy performance and set goals
- Create and implement an energy efficiency action plan
- Evaluate your performance
- Communicate results and gain recognition for them
By integrating ENERGY STAR® into your ongoing management processes,
you can improve the efficiency and productivity of your business and employees,
save energy and money, and take positive steps toward helping your bottom line
and the environment.
