ENERGY STAR Research Conclusions
Difference in energy intensity between best and worstperforming buildings is > 300%
Difference between the best and the worst performers is notexplained by occupancy characteristics such as cooling orheating requirements
Design intent, building age, and the presence of specific
systems or technologies are not sufficient as indicators ofenergy performance in building operation
On average, ENERGY STAR qualified buildings
Use 35% less energy than average buildings
Have utility bills that are $0.50 less per square foot thanthose of average buildings
-
8/14/2019 Hospitality Attorneys with Energy Star and other EPA resources - EPA Programs

Contributes to better than average energy
performance and continuous improvement Ongoing commissioning practices
