ENERGY STAR Certification for Plants

The ENERGY STAR banner is displayed at Merck’s ENERGY STAR certified Las Piedras, PR plant

ENERGY STAR is the national symbol of energy efficiency recognized by most Americans.

Manufacturing plants that demonstrate energy performance within the top twenty-five percent of their industry as measured by an ENERGY STAR plant energy performance indicator (EPI) may be eligible to earn ENERGY STAR certification. Twelve months of verified actual energy performance data are required.

ENERGY STAR certification builds support for energy initiatives and sustains momentum for corporate energy programs. Eleven types of manufacturing plants are now eligible to earn ENERGY STAR certification:

• auto manufacturing plants
• cement plants
• container glass manufacturing plants
• cookie and cracker baking plants
• flat glass manufacturing plants
• frozen fried potato processing plants
• juice processing plants
• petroleum refineries
• pharmaceutical manufacturing plants
• pulp plants
• wet corn milling plants

Certified plants receive a decal, a template for creating flags and banners bearing the ENERGY STAR, and a certificate of achievement. The certification is for a period of one year.
