Applying  for  Designed  to  Earn

the  ENERGY  STAR®  Certification
 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognizes architects for energy-
 efficient commercial building designs that achieve the ENERGY STAR. These
 projects and A/E firms are showcased in the ENERGY STAR Challenge: Architects.
 Figure 1. The Designed to Earn the ENERGY STAR certification graphic can be
 displayed on project drawings and promotional materials.

                                       The estimated energy
                                       performance for this design meets
                                       US EPA criteria. The building will
                                       be eligible for ENERGY STAR after
                                       maintaining superior performance
                                       for one year.

Getting Started
Design projects that meet the commercial building space type criteria and receive
an EPA energy performance score of 75 or higher from the online Target Finder tool
are eligible to receive the Designed to Earn the ENERGY STAR certification graphic.
(Figure 1)
The Architect of Record (AOR) ensures that the project meets EPA requirements and
submits application documents to receive the certification.

Receiving an EPA Energy Performance Score
Does the estimated energy use of your projects meet EPA criteria to earn
ENERGY STAR?
Use Target Finder Online: Enter basic building design characteristics and total
estimated annual energy to receive the EPA energy score.

Completing the Application Process
The Designed to Earn the ENERGY STAR certification process is  easy and cost
effective for small and large A/E firms. The AOR submits to EPA letters of intent for
its firm and from the building owner. The letters along with the Statement of Energy
Design Intent from Target Finder (Figure 2) document the energy use target and
commitment to meet EPA criteria to achieve the ENERGY STAR.

Becoming an ENERGY STAR Partner
Architecture firms can join the Service and Product Provider partnership by
submitting a design project that achieves ENERGY STAR. These  partners work with
building owners and provide energy use analyses, tools, and strategies to help set
and achieve energy efficiency goals.

Recognizing the Best
EPA awards Designed to Earn the ENERGY STAR only to those projects and A/E
firms whose building designs meet the guidelines set by EPA. The ENERGY STAR
is recognized  by more than 75% of the American public as the symbol for superior
energy efficiency.

Your firm can  display ENERGY STAR on project drawings and  promotional materials
to show clients your commitment to save energy, save money, and reduce the carbon
footprint of the built environment.
