The competitors in EPA’s 2012 ENERGY STAR National Building Competition have stepped on the scale for the midpoint weigh-in to find out who is on the way to becoming the biggest energy loser. Leading the pack with a whopping 47% reduction is Demarest Elementary School of Bloomfield, NJ! In the first six months of the competition alone, teams representing more than 3,200 buildings around the country have saved more than $37 million on utility bills and reduced greenhouse gas emissions equal to the electricity used by more than 16,000 homes annually.

Now entering the final stretch of the competition, building teams are pulling out all the stops to save energy, save money, and protect the environment. Don’t miss the final winner announcement in April!
