ENERGY STAR for Real Estate

Energy represents the single largest operating expense for commercial buildings, with about 30% of building energy used inefficiently or unnecessarily. Through partnering with ENERGY STAR, organizations with commercial real estate, corporate real estate, and multifamily housing units have experienced significant energy consumption reductions while increasing asset value. EPA supports the efforts of real estate owners and managers with a proven energy management strategy and no-cost tools to save energy and money and demonstrate environmental leadership.
