On average, ENERGY STAR-certified buildings use 35% less energy than typical buildings nationwide and command a premium of up to 16% for sales prices and rental rates. More than 34,000 buildings have earned certification, which requires an ENERGY STAR score of 75 or higher, meaning that such a building performs better than at least 75% of similar buildings nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>All told, ENERGY STAR and its partners have helped save American families and businesses more than\u00a0$450 billion and over 3.5 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity since 1992 while also achieving broad emissions reductions.<\/p>\n<p>Another facet of the ENERGY STAR program has been similarly fruitful for industrial plants, while ENERGY STAR-certified homes, apartments and products are built to an equally high standard of efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Yardi is intimately familiar with ENERGY STAR and its benefits. Property managers use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/products\/yardi-pulse\/\">Yardi Pulse Suite<\/a> to capture energy data for ENERGY STAR\u00ae benchmarking and reporting. The company employs experts who can help clients identify conservation opportunities and comply with ENERGY STAR and other standards. Yardi is also sponsoring a series of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/energy-star-2020-update-webinars\">webinars<\/a> this month on new ENERGY STAR compliance requirements taking effect in the U.S. and Canada next year.<\/p>\n<p>The EPA, co-manager of ENERGY STAR, has recognized Yardi as an energy efficiency leader.
