DFW Ranks in Top 10 for Energy Star Buildings in U.S.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) annual list of U.S. metropolitan areas with the most Energy Star certified buildings shows that the Dallas/Fort Worth area placed 8th in its national survey.

The DFW area has place in the top ten since the EPA first released its list of top 25 cities in 2008.

Energy us in commercial buildings makes up nearly 20 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and costs more than $100 billion per year.  Energy Star certified buildings use about 35 percent less energy and produce approximately 35 percent less carbon dioxide emissions than typical buildings.
