State and National Energy Certification Programs
Schools across Oregon and throughout the nation are being purposeful about reducing, reusing and recycling waste and lowering their reliance on energy. Below are two programs that incentivize and recognize those efforts.
Energy Star
Energy Star certified buildings and plants meet strict energy performance standards set by the EPA. They use less energy, are less expensive to operate, and cause fewer greenhouse gas emissions than their peers. Starting with the first Energy Star certified building in 1999, tens of thousands of buildings and plants across america have already earned EPA's Energy Star for superior energy performance.
