The Biscayne Building Goes "Green"
Energy Star
In 1992 the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy introduced Energy Star Award. The Energy Star is a voluntary program designed to identify and promote energy efficient products to that are designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
In 1992 when Energy Star was first introduced, it began with products such as computers and monitors and then quickly spread to major appliances, office equipment, lighting, home electronics and more. The EPA also extended the label to cover residential and commercial/industrial buildings. Business owners found that while protecting the environment they also reduced their energy costs significantly.
