The ENERGY STAR Challenge is a national call-to-action to improve the energy efficiency of America's commercial and industrial buildings by 10 percent or more.
Whether you're associated with a small school or a large corporation, a local government or a national association, a community hospital or a hotel group, a manufacturing plant or an architecture firm — you can be part of the ENERGY STAR Challenge and help improve the energy efficiency of America's commercial and industrial buildings by 10 percent or more.
More and more people are taking the ENERGY STAR Challenge every day. Visit our on-line sign up and join schools, auto dealers, Girl Scout troops, town councils, hospitals, churches, and more in the fight against global warming.
Architecture and engineering firms have the opportunity to leave their mark on the world by designing buildings that are sustainable now and well into the future. Join the growing number of architecture and engineering firms responding to the ENERGY STAR Challenge by submitting energy efficient design projects.
Challenge participants and their members are encouraged to take as many of these actions as possible:
Now is the time to help build a better world and take many of the same steps at work that you are taking at home to protect our environment. The ENERGY STAR Challenge Toolkit can show you how.
