ENERGY STAR Water and Wastewater Focus
Improvement in water and wastewater energy performance represents a significant opportunity for many partners in EPA’s ENERGY STAR program to gain financial and environmental benefits. To help them take advantage of this opportunity, EPA now has an energy efficiency Focus in the water and wastewater industries.
An ENERGY STAR Focus is a targeted effort to improve the energy efficiency within a specific industry or combination of industries. Focuses create momentum for continuous improvement in energy performance, provide the industry’s managers with the tools they need to achieve greater success in their energy management programs, and create a supportive environment where energy efficiency ideas and opportunities are shared.
