ENERGY STAR® is a voluntary government and industry partnership that makes it easy for businesses and consumers to save money and protect the environment. Since January 1999, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) has provided the public with the means to quickly and easily assess, or benchmark, the energy performance of commercial buildings relative to similar buildings in the United States. The ENERGY STAR® rating is a benchmark that indicates how efficiently buildings use energy on a 1-100 scale. A rating of 50 indicates that energy performance is average compared to similar buildings, while a rating of 75 or greater indicates top performance, and means your building may be eligible to earn the ENERGY STAR® label.

Our team of professional engineers and certified energy managers combined with our experience with the ENERGY STAR® program, makes Building EnergetiCx an excellent choice to perform the required verification and documentation. Our team will provide the necessary documentation and reporting to comply with the program.

Building EnergetiCx can assist building owners and navigate them through the process of labeling a building. Our professional engineers will review the Statement of Energy Performance and verify that the data entered about the building is accurate. This includes verifying the building’s physical characteristics, operating characteristics, and energy consumption. All building characteristics are provided in entirety on the Data Checklist and must be verified through a site visit by the professional engineer. During the site visit, the professional engineer must also verify that the building complies with current industry standards for indoor environment quality including thermal comfort, illumination, outside air ventilation, and control of indoor air pollutants.
