In 1996, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Department of Energy began ENERGY STAR^®, a voluntary labeling program to help consumers and organizations save money and protect the environment by reducing energy usage. Companies and organizations quickly discovered that not only could becoming an ENERGY STAR Partner help them reduce energy costs, but it was also a great promotional tool. LPB encourages our clients to become ENERGY STAR Partners for both of these reasons. We’ll handle the entire process, from submitting the required paperwork to tracking your usage and generating optimal promotional value from your partnership.

65% of Americans recognize the ENERGY STAR label. That means that most people think energy conservation and environmental issues are important. Your ENERGY STAR Partnership is a visual assurance of your commitment to the environment. Additionally, connecting with the people you serve on a personal level gives you a distinct competitive advantage.

Becoming an ENERGY STAR Partner requires you to track and manage your energy usage patterns and helps you identify opportunities to make changes that can reduce your energy costs. In fact, with the help of ENERGY STAR, in 2006 alone, the U.S. economy saved $14 billion in energy costs.

LPB helps you maximize the value of your
ENERGY STAR Partnership

In 2006, LPB Energy received the ENERGY STAR “Partner of the Year Award”, and again won the “Continuing Excellence Award” for 2007. We know what it takes to get the most from your partnership. Once your partnership becomes effective, we’ll help you meet your ENERGY STAR tracking and benchmarking requirements using our award-winning Utility Manager™ software.

LPB is one of a select few service providers that offer automated ENERGY STAR benchmarking.  Utility Manager interfaces seamlessly with Portfolio Manager, the Energy Star benchmarking program.
