See Who’s Leading the Way with ENERGY STAR
Owners are asking for energy-efficient buildings and architecture firms are delivering with help from ENERGY STAR. In addition to achieving EPA recognition for the design project, many of these properties go on to earn ENERGY STAR certification for the completed building.
Check out building owners, projects and architects that achieved Designed to Earn the ENERGY STAR recognition.

Building Decarbonization Starts at Design
Stay tuned for updated criteria for designing new buildings achieving the ENERGY STAR by implementing deep decarbonization strategies through enhanced energy efficiency and electrification. EPA will be challenging architects and building owners to meet the new criteria and deliver the next generation of buildings with zero carbon emissions.
In 2021, EPA launched the ENERGY STAR Decarbonize Your Design Challenge encouraging architects and building owners to adopt deep decarbonization strategies for commercial building design projects to move the next generation of buildings to zero carbon emissions. This effort served as method for determining the next set of criteria to achieve ENERGY STAR for commercial new construction and contribute to 2050 emission reduction goals.
See the first group of projects and participants selected in the Challenge for showing outstanding leadership and commitment and displaying exemplary energy design strategies for CO2 emissions in future building.
