The following links are provided
for your information:
- ENERGY STAR for Government:
Government agencies spend more than
$10 billion a year on energy to
provide public services and meet
constituent needs — while grappling
with tightening budgets. Yet nearly
one-third of the energy used to run
typical government buildings goes to
waste. EPA provides local and state
governments, as well as federal
agencies, a proven energy management
strategy and no-cost tools to save
energy and money and demonstrate
their environmental leadership.
- The State Energy Program and
ENERGY STAR: The states and
territories highlighted on this map
used Department of Energy funding
from their State Energy Program
(SEP) Formula Grants for projects
dealing with ENERGY STAR. Clicking
on the highlighted states and
territories allows users to learn
more about energy-saving projects of
state energy offices, both for
Energy Star and other SEP
activities.

territorial activities with the
State Energy Program
- ENERGY STAR Labeled
Buildings by State per Zip Code:
The map on this page
represents the more than 3,200
buildings that qualified for the
ENERGY STAR label
between 1999 and December 31, 2006.
The map displays the number of
labeled buildings per state,
designated by zip code within state.

The ENERGY
STAR Pledge:
“Change the World,
Start with ENERGY STAR”
The ENERGY STAR Pledge
is a national campaign encouraging
all Americans to join with millions
of others and take small, individual
steps that make a big difference in
the fight against global warming.
This map shows cumulative
state-by-state greenhouse gases,
kilowatt hours and expenditures
saved through ENERGY STAR energy
reductions since the initial launch
of the ENERGY STAR pledge in 2005.
-
National ENERGY STAR Climate Zones:
The ENERGY STAR
criteria for residential windows,
doors, and skylights are tailored to
four Climate Zones. A product's
energy efficiency for a given
climate is based on its impact on
heat gain and loss in cold weather
and heat gain in warm weather.
Windows that are energy efficient in
Florida will not necessarily be
energy efficient in Michigan and
vice-versa. The four Climate Zones
for ENERGY STAR qualified windows,
doors, and skylights are: Northern
(mostly heating); North/Central
(heating and cooling); South/Central
(cooling and heating); Southern
(mostly cooling).

Qualified New Homes Market Indices
for States: The ENERGY STAR
Qualified New Homes Market Indices
for States compares the number of
ENERGY STAR qualified new homes
built to the number of privately
owned housing units permitted in
each state and the District of
Columbia. The map illustrates the
ENERGY STAR Qualified New Homes
Market Indices for States for 2006.
States with a market index equal to
or greater than the national average
are listed in a table below.
