ENERGY STAR Certification

ENERGY STAR certified buildings save energy, save money, and help protect the
environment by generating fewer greenhouse gas emissions than typical
buildings. To be certified as ENERGY STAR, a building must meet strict energy
performance standards set by the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).

Certification is given on an annual basis, so a building must maintain its high performance to be certified year to year. And the information submitted in the certification application must be verified by a licensed Professional Engineer or Registered Architect to be eligible for approval.
