A proposal to eliminate the @EPA’s @ENERGYSTAR program threatens a trusted tool for managing building performance.

ENERGY STAR helps owners and operators benchmark energy use, cut costs, and stay compliant—saving over $500B since 1992.

For @ReTechAdvisors, a Legence company, it’s critical to data-driven decarbonization and operational efficiency for clients.

Energy efficiency is one of the most cost-effective strategies supporting enhanced risk-adjusted returns + sustainable progress.

@ENERGYSTAR sets national benchmarks + offers tools—e.g. Portfolio Mgr—allowing us to measure + identifying opps for improvements. We must protect it.

"If the Trump administration wants to focus on affordability in American households, energy efficiency isn’t the thing to cut."

One of @ENERGYSTAR's original architects explains why the imperiled efficiency program is so important ⬇️
