What is Energy Star Rating & Certification?
Energy Star is a U.S. government-backed program recognizing buildings that perform well in energy efficiency. ECSG helps projects pursue this rating by analyzing current energy use, finding improvements, and guiding teams through the certification steps.

How It Works
A qualified assessment gathers data: utility bills, equipment specs, runtime schedules, and envelope info.
ECSG uses that data to benchmark performance against Energy Star’s standard for similar building types.
Where needed, recommendations are made: lighting upgrades, improved controls, efficient HVAC or envelope improvements.
ECSG assists in preparing the documentation report required to submit and achieve certification.

Why It Matters
Buildings with Energy Star certification are often more desirable—lower utility costs, better marketability.
Certification shows commitment to sustainability and operating cost efficiency.
It can support compliance, financial incentives, and sometimes local code requirements.
How We Help
At ECSG, our team works to demystify the certification process. We help define where performance gaps may exist, identify cost-effective improvements, and prepare the required reports so the project has a smooth path to achieving the rating.
