The Energy Star Award is a national award presented by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), recognizing buildings that have achieved a certain level of energy conservation. These building use 35 percent less energy and generate 35 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions than similar buildings across the nation. EPA’s Energy Star Awards are good for one year and must be maintained from year-to-year. These awards were achieved due to the HCPS commitment to energy conservation. Schools Earn Energy Saver Awards Balfour Education Center, Edneyville Elementary, Glenn C. Marlow Elementary, Hendersonville Middle, and Sugarloaf Elementary received Energy Saver awards for energy efficiency. The awards are based on the amount of energy reduction in the past year, compared to the school’s base year, measured in energy use (Kbtu’s) per square foot, plus their regular energy audit performance. The schools compete against themselves, not the other schools.
