ENERGY STAR Snapshot (Fall 2008)

Measuring Progress in the Commercial and Industrial Sectors

At mid-year 2008, commercial and industrial (C&I) leaders continued to make great progress in their efforts to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions across their buildings and facilities. In the first six months of 2008, key indicators of progress have already exceeded activity levels from 2007.

The ENERGY STAR Snapshot provides an at-a-glance summary of the key performance indicators behind these impressive results. The Snapshot brings together the latest national metrics to help you, our partners, see the impact of your efforts. The ENERGY STAR Snapshot can help you watch progress across the country. It provides a look at:

• Trends in the energy performance rating of commercial and institutional buildings
• State-by-state activity along with activity for the top 25 Designated Market Areas
• Industrial sector participation in ENERGY STAR
• Trends in ENERGY STAR certification for commercial and industrial facilities

The ENERGY STAR Snapshot will be distributed twice a year — look for the next issue in early 2009.
