EPA Recognizes Beazer Homes with 2016 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Award
Beazer Homes recognized for its sustained leadership to protect
the environment
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recognized Beazer
Homes with a 2016 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence
Award for its continued leadership in protecting our environment through
superior energy efficiency achievements. Beazer Homes’ accomplishments
were recognized in Washington, D.C. earlier this month.
Beazer Homes, an ENERGY STAR partner since 1998, was honored for
partnering with ENERGY STAR to assure 100 percent of homes built meet or
exceed program requirements. With a focus on durability and energy
efficiency, Beazer Homes has effectively contributed to the reduction of
greenhouse emissions by saving the environment more than 10,000 metric
tons of CO₂ equivalent emissions in 2015 and more than 48,000 metric
tons of CO₂ equivalent emissions since 2011.
“Beazer Homes truly values our partnership with ENERGY STAR,” said Kathi
James, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. “It’s exciting
to see the impact we’ve made through our commitment to building
environmentally-conscious homes, certifying more than 43,000 new homes
since 1998. We remain committed to continuing our work to help reduce
greenhouse gas emissions and protect the environment.”
Since its inception in 1992, ENERGY STAR and its partners have helped
prevent a total of more than 2.4 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas
emissions. In 2014 alone, ENERGY STAR and its partners provided more
than $11 billion in societal benefits due to reducing damages from
climate change.
“By continued collaboration with ENERGY STAR, Beazer Homes is helping
Americans save money, save energy, and do their part to reduce our
nation’s greenhouse gas emissions that exacerbate climate change,” said
EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. “I’m proud to recognize Beazer Homes
with the highest form of ENERGY STAR recognition, as the winner of the
2016 Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Award. Beazer Homes
demonstrates a strong commitment to energy efficiency and to preserving
a healthy planet for future generations.”
The 2016 Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Awards are given to
a variety of organizations to recognize their contributions to reducing
harmful carbon pollution through superior energy efficiency efforts.
These awards recognize ongoing leadership across the ENERGY STAR
program, including energy-efficient products, services, new homes, and
buildings in the commercial, industrial, and public sectors. Beazer
Homes is one of only three national homebuilders to earn the distinction
in 2016.
