Energy Star Certification
and Consultation

METCO aims at providing practical solutions to conserve energy resources for a sustainable life and a healthy environment. Buildings are the leading cause of environmental pollution as they largely emit greenhouse gases. Striving to earn an Energy Star not only enhances the asset value of the building but also makes it sustainable for environment and human life.

What is Energy Star?

Energy Star is a ranking system developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designed to certify energy efficiency in commercial and residential buildings. About a third of energy gets wasted in an average building due to its complex heating and cooling systems; this calls for competent management to conserve resources.

Improving the HVAC system, lighting setups and equipment quality will not only lead to energy savings but also reduce utility bills and carbon gas emission. For earning an Energy Star, a home must be 20%-30% more energy-efficient as compared to regular houses of similar capacity.

What Does it Mean to be
Energy Star Certified?

The Energy Star Program was established in 1992 to help save energy and reduce utility bills cost. Around 1.9 million homes and apartments have been Energy Star certified due to their efficient HVAC system, water management, and maintenance-free appliances.

Using the EPA Portfolio Manager tool, the performance of a building is measured and compared with other structures of similar setups. It is an online tool used to track a building’s energy and water consumption, and also measure trace its carbon footprint. The performance of a building is also benchmarked and compared with its allies. For earning Energy Star certificate, a building must earn 75 score number on the Portfolio Manager 1-100 scale. The points are based on operational condition, weather situation, and other defining factors related to design, construction and maintenance.

On average, an Energy Star Certified building uses 35% less energy and saves up to 50 cents per foot. This in turn, helps reduce lifecycle costs as minimal maintenance is required and also boost the long-term value. The Energy Star Certificate needs to be renewed every year to ensure that the building maintains its high-performance and energy-efficiency.

These buildings are designed to lessen carbon emission making them sustainable and long lasting. With such added benefits, Energy Star certified buildings have increased occupancy rate as compared to other facilities.
