ENERGY EDUCATION RECEIVES PRESTIGIOUS GOVERNMENT ENERGY STAR® PARTNER OF THE YEAR AWARD
The United States Department of Energy and EPA Honor Firm for Efforts in Energy Savings
DALLAS, TX – Energy Education, Inc., the nation’s leader and pioneer of people-driven energy conservation and efficiency, has been presented with the distinguished ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Award for 2009 for Service and Product Provider by the United States Department of Energy and the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
The ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Award recognizes organizations that have made outstanding contributions to protecting the environment through superior energy efficiency. Energy Education received the award at an award banquet on March 31, 2009 in Washington, D.C.
“We are extremely proud and humbled to have received this honor,” said CEO and Founder Dr. William S. Spears. “ENERGY STAR has long been recognized as a valuable resource for individuals and organizations to receive impartial information regarding quantifiable energy conservation results. Our partnership with ENERGY STAR provides us an opportunity to help clients nationwide receive recognition for their extraordinary work in people-driven energy conservation.”
As a result of energy conservation programs with Energy Education, many organizations across the nation received ENERGY STAR Awards in 2008. In fact, 84% of the 2008 public education building ENERGY STAR Label plaques distributed last year went to Energy Education clients.
“The EPA is pleased to recognize Energy Education for leadership in addressing global warming through greater energy efficiency,” said Kathleen Hogan, Director of the Climate Protection Partnerships Division at the U.S. EPA. “Because commercial and industrial facilities account for about half of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, Energy Education’s efforts are vital to protecting our global environment.”
