Roundtable Submits Recommendations to Improve ENERGY STAR Scoring Models
November 25, 2018
The Real Estate Roundtable on Nov. 26 sent recommendations to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to improve the agency’s ENERGY STAR scoring methods, which rate a building’s energy efficiency performance.
The Nov. 26 summary and recommended changes to EPA’s scoring methods seek to ensure a level-playing field for the ENERGY STAR label – so that buildings of all sizes located in varying climate zones across the country are rated fairly.
EPA plans to wrap-up its review period and resume issuing ENERGY STAR building labels by next spring.
