ENERGY STAR® Energy Star is a program run by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) that promotes energy efficiency and provides simple, credible, and unbiased information that consumers and businesses rely on to make well-informed decisions. Thousands of industrial, commercial, utility, state, and local organizations partner with the NRCan to deliver cost-saving energy efficiency solutions that protect the climate while improving air quality and protecting public health. The Energy Star score compares a building’s energy performance to similar buildings nationwide and accounts for differences in operating conditions, regional weather data, and other important considerations. Certification is given on an annual basis, so a building must maintain its high performance to be certified year to year. To be eligible for Energy Star certification, a building must earn a score of 75 or higher on a 1 – 100 scale, indicating that it performs better than at least 75 percent of similar buildings nationwide. This 1 – 100 Energy Star score is calculated within the Energy Star Portfolio Manager tool and is based on the Survey of Commercial and Institutional Energy Use (SCIEU), a national survey of building energy consumption conducted by Statistics Canada. NRCan currently has seven building types eligible to receive a 1-100 ENERGY STAR score and is working hard to provide scores for other building types.
