Several Florida commercial buildings are participating in the second annual “Battle of the Buildings” competition organized by the Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star program, according to the program’s website. Two hundred and forty-five buildings across the country are competing to reduce energy waste and improve their energy effiency.
The competitor that demonstrates the greatest percent-based reduction in weather-normalized energy use intensity between Aug. 31, 2010 and Aug. 31, 2011 will be recognized as the winner in November. The EPA has already released its top competitors as well as the progress of all the other participating buildings, which include office buildings and retail stores. – Miranda Neubauer [more]
