ENERGY STAR K-12 School. Did you know that a building or manufacturing plant can earn the ENERGY STAR label just like your refrigerator? An ENERGY STAR-qualified facility meets strict energy performance standards set by EPA, and uses less energy, is less expensive to operate, and causes fewer greenhouse gas emissions than its peers. To qualify for ENERGY STAR, a building or manufacturing plant must score in the top 25 percent of EPA's National Energy Performance Rating System. To determine the performance of a facility, EPA compares energy use among other similar types of facilities on a scale of 1-100 (taking into consideration operating conditions and regional weather data). Buildings that score 75 or higher may be eligible for ENERGY STAR. Source:ENERGY STAR ®. [9/23/2009]. US Environmental Protection Agency and US Department of Energy.
