ENERGY STAR and its partners helped American families and businesses save nearly 4 trillion kWh of electricity and achieve

  • ver 3.5 billion metric tons of

greenhouse gas reductions

The Power of Partnerships

Accomplishments that are only possible because of the partnership of organizations like yours

In 2018 alone, ENERGY STAR and its partners helped Americans save approximately 430 billion kWh of electricity and avoid $35 billion in energy costs, with associated emission reductions of 330 million metric tons of greenhouse gases, 220,000 short tons of sulfur dioxide, 210,000 short tons of nitrogen oxides, and 23,000 short tons of fine particulate matter (PM2.5).

  • -That’s equivalent to

taking over 750 million cars off the road for a year

More stats available at: energystar.gov/numbers

ENERGY STAR is America’s trusted resource for saving energy and money

  • Overall, thousands of industrial, commercial, state, and local

enterprises partner with ENERGY STAR, including more than 40%

  • f the Fortune 500
  • More than 90% of American households recognize the ENERGY

STAR, making it one of the most widely recognized consumer symbols in the nation

  • Estimated annual market value of ENERGY STAR product sales is

more than $100 billion – over 800,000 products and 800,000 light bulbs are sold every day, on average

  • All of the nation’s twenty largest home builders construct ENERGY

STAR certified homes, and one out of every 12 homes built in 2019 was ENERGY STAR certified

  • Americans visited the ENERGY STAR website millions of times to

learn how to reduce their energy bills at home and at work

  • Nearly 800,000 Americans are employed in manufacturing or

installing ENERGY STAR certified appliances, certified heating and cooling equipment or other non-certified efficient HVAC equipment

slide-11

ENERGY STAR serves as the industry standard used across the nation

  • By providing a single platform, ENERGY STAR creates uniformity for businesses, prevents

market fragmentation, and reduces costs

  • More than 800 utilities, state and local governments, and nonprofits leverage ENERGY

STAR in their efficiency programs, reaching roughly 95% of households in all 50 states, investing billions in energy efficiency programs each year

  • In 2019, more than 260,000 commercial properties (nearly 25% of all U.S. commercial

floorspace) used the ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager tool to measure and track their energy, water, and/or waste performance

  • Over 5,700 buildings and 95 industrial plants were ENERGY STAR certified last year
  • Federal requirements: GSA requires ENERGY STAR for procurement and leases. Fannie

Mae, Freddie Mac, and HUD offer discounts for ENERGY STAR certified multifamily

  • Financial reporting frameworks use ENERGY STAR: the Global Real Estate Sustainability

Benchmark (GRESB) and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB)
