For units in multifamily mid and high rise buildings to earn the ENERGY STAR, a new or substantially rehabilitated mid or high rise multifamily building must be designed to be at least 15% more energy efficient than a building built to meet code requirements. Units can earn the ENERGY STAR using either the Performance or Prescriptive Path.
