Overview
Recognizing Energy Efficiency Leaders
It's time to take action. The scientific consensus is that, as
a result of human activities, greenhouse gas concentrations
in the atmosphere have reached unprecedented levels,
threatening public health and the environment.1 Combined
with volatile energy prices, energy security, and the current
economic downturn, the time for action is now. Our homes,
buildings, and industries cause more than two-thirds of
the nation's carbon dioxide (C02) emissions—the primary
greenhouse gas.2 Many of them could use up to 30 percent
less  energy through money-saving investments in energy
efficiency. The more efficiently we use energy,  the fewer
greenhouse gas emissions we release into the atmosphere
from the burning of fossil fuels at power plants.
The  solution is at hand. "Green" investments provide one of
the best available paths to economic recovery,  energy security,
and environmental protection. Energy efficiency improvements
represent the fastest, cheapest, and largest untapped solution
for reducing energy use, lowering energy bills,  and preventing
greenhouse gas emissions. Implementing cost-effective,
energy-saving strategies would create jobs, cover more than
half the expected growth in energy demand over the next  20
years, save more than $100 billion annually, and significantly
reduce greenhouse gas emissions.3
ENERGY STAR® makes the solution possible. Since
the U.S. Environmental  Protection Agency (EPA) launched
ENERGY STAR in 1992, the program has helped dramatically
increase the use of energy-efficient products and practices
throughout the country, helping us reduce greenhouse gas
emissions while saving money. From its modest beginnings
with a few manufacturers offering energy-efficient office
equipment, the ENERGY STAR program has expanded over
the years into a broad platform that partners with over 17,000
organizations, impacts energy use at work and at home, and
is now recognized by over 75 percent of Americans. ENERGY
STAR is not just a product-labeling program; its national
reach encompasses thousands of businesses and public
organizations and millions of consumers, all of whom have
implemented  widespread efficiency improvements in the
nation's housing, buildings, and industrial facilities.
The ENERGY  STAR program has proven success in showcasing
and implementing cost-effective energy efficiency solutions
across the commercial, industrial, and residential sectors.
Joined in this effort by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
since 1996, EPA has overcome many market barriers to
achieve impressive results (see Figure 1). In 2009 alone,
Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, prevented 45
million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions—equivalent
to the annual emissions from 30 million vehicles—and saved
nearly $17 billion on their utility bills. Savings are expected to
grow substantially in the coming years as more households,
businesses, and organizations rely on ENERGY STAR for
guidance on investing in energy-efficient products, practices,
and policies.
ENERGY STAR award winners are leading the nation.
In 2010,110 organizations, selected from more than 17,000
program partners, are being recognized for their leadership,
accomplishments, and commitment to energy efficiency. In
the face of difficulties presented by the current economic
state, these organizations remain dedicated to investing
in energy efficiency solutions and answering EPA's call to
action. By adopting superior management strategies for
energy efficiency and seeing these strategies through to
results, these organizations are helping themselves, their
communities, and all of us reap the benefits. This report
celebrates their accomplishments—recognizing not only what
they have achieved individually,  but also how they are helping
revolutionize the market for cost-effective, energy-efficient
products and services.
The 2010 ENERGY STAR award winners are a diverse group,
reflecting the breadth of ENERGY STAR partners. They include
large and small organizations from across the country (see
Figure 2), both those with long track records of success and
those quickly excelling in their new
partnership with  ENERGY STAR.
These award recipients are leaders
across many different sectors of
our economy. They are setting an
example for others—making even
greater efficiency improvements
so that our nation can achieve the
significant savings that energy
efficiency offers in the fight against
climate change.

  cost-saving and environmental benefits this provides and
  to show others what can be accomplished through robust
  energy management practices.
• Retailers. These 5 retailers lead the way for the over 1,500
  partners at the national, regional, and local level who train
  sales associates, provide in-store information, and run
  special campaigns to help their customers find ENERGY
  STAR qualified products.
• Service and Product Providers. These 4 organizations
  are pioneers for the service and product providers in the
  commercial sector that educate their customers, help them
  achieve ENERGY STAR performance levels, and build a
  robust marketplace for energy efficiency.
