ENERGY STAR Expands to High-Rise Multifamily Buildings

摘要

High-rise multifamily residences are now available for ENERGY STAR certification, a designation previously awarded only to single-family homes and units in low-rise multifamily buildings. New or substantially rehabilitated buildings can qualify by meeting the EPA's energy efficiency guidelines and verifying that they are at least 15% more energy-efficient than ASHRAE's energy standard.
