Neenah Branch Earns the ENERGY STAR

Evergreen Credit Union’s Neenah Branch Earns It’s 7th ENERGY STAR Certification!

Evergreen Credit Union’s branch at 1500 W. American Drive has earned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ENERGY STAR® certification for superior energy performance. This is the 7th year that Evergreen Credit Union has earned the ENERGY STAR, reflecting a legacy of continued energy savings.

“Improving the energy efficiency of our nation’s buildings is critical to protecting our environment, “ said Jean Lupinacci, Chief of the ENERGY STAR Commercial & Industrial Branch. “From the boiler room to the board room, organizations are leading the way by making their buildings more efficient and earning EPA’s ENERGY STAR certification.”

ENERGY STAR certified buildings and plants are verified to perform in the top 25 percent of buildings nationwide, based on weather-normalized source energy use that takes into account occupancy, hours of operation, and other key metrics. ENERGY STAR is the only energy efficiency certification in the United States that is based on actual, verified energy performance.

Evergreen Credit Union credits this success to the Green Team and the involvement of all staff in meeting the credit union’s sustainability goals. Continuous process and facility improvements over the past seven years have helped to push energy savings further. Evergreen Credit Union also strives to produce 100% of their own energy demand using the 198-panel on site solar array.

On average, ENERGY STAR certified buildings and plants use 35 percent less energy, cause 35 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions, and are less expensive to operate than their peers—all without sacrifices in performance or comfort.

To date, tens of thousands of buildings and plants across all fifty states have earned the ENERGY STAR. For more information about ENERGY STAR for Buildings and Plants, visit www.energystar.gov/buildings
