Vermont Student Assistance Corp once again has earned the US Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR certification, which signifies that its headquarters building performs among the top facilities nationwide for energy efficiency and meets strict energy efficiency performance levels set by the EPA. "VSAC is pleased to accept EPA’s ENERGY STAR certification in recognition of our energy efficiency efforts,” said Mike Stuart, VSAC vice president and CFO. "This is the fifth year we have received the award and our 87 score means our building scores in the top 13 percent of all similar buildings in the program across the country.”
Commercial buildings that earn EPA’s ENERGY STAR certification use an average of 35 percent less energy than typical buildings and also release 35 percent less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
“Improving the energy efficiency of our nation’s buildings is critical to protecting our environment, “ said Jean Lupinacci, Chief of the ENERGY STAR Commercial & Industrial Branch. “From the boiler room to the board room, organizations are leading the way by making their buildings more efficient and earning EPA’s ENERGY STAR certification.”
