In 2007, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency awarded Energy Star status to 176 office buildings,
schools, hospitals, banks, hotels, supermarkets and college dormitories in
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin.
"These buildings are among the nation's top energy savers," said EPA
Region 5 Administrator Mary A. Gade. "They use about one-third less energy
than average buildings, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions and saves
money."
Nationally, nearly 4,100 buildings and manufacturing plants had earned
EPA's Energy Star through the end of 2007. More than 1,400 were added in
2007 alone. The total includes about 1,500 office buildings, 1,300
supermarkets, 820 schools and 250 hotels. Also, more than 185 banks,
financial centers, hospitals, courthouses, warehouses, dormitories and -
for the first time - big-box retail buildings earned the Energy Star. More
than 35 manufacturing plants such as cement, auto assembly, corn refining
and - for the first time - petroleum refining are also being recognized.
In total, these award-winning commercial buildings and manufacturing
plans have saved nearly $1.5 billion annually in lower energy bills and
prevented carbon dioxide emissions equal to the emissions associated with
electricity use of more than 1.5 million American homes for a year,
relative to typical buildings.
