Leading real estate technology provider receives longevity honor from U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., April 13, 2021 — Yardi® is honored to receive the 2021 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year Sustained Excellence Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy after being named Partner of the Year for three consecutive years.  

The Sustained Excellence award is the highest honor bestowed by the ENERGY STAR program. Its winners have made a long-term commitment to fighting climate change and protecting public health through energy efficiency. They are among the nation’s leaders in driving value for the environment, the economy and the American people.

The award acknowledges Yardi’s technology solutions and ongoing philanthropic efforts across real estate sectors including:

  • Helping more than 140 clients benchmark energy in over 3,500 buildings
  • Benchmarking water in over 3,000 buildings
  • Promoting the importance of ENERGY STAR scores to clients through education, training and visibility 
  • Including ENERGY STAR in Yardi’s energy management software dashboard

“This award reflects our clients’ impressive achievements using ENERGY STAR resources to meet their business and sustainability goals. Our benchmarking increased by more than 50% over last year, due in part to rapid adoption of ENERGY STAR benchmarking to better understand remote work impacts on building energy use during the COVID-19 pandemic. We applaud our clients’ success and look forward to helping the real estate industry gain even more ENERGY STAR benefits moving forward,” said Akshai Rao, vice president at Yardi.

“ENERGY STAR award-winning partners are showing the world that delivering real climate solutions makes good business sense and promotes job growth,” said Michael S.
