This record-setting number for LPS includes 9 buildings that achieved recertification after also being recognized in 2022.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

ENERGY STAR certifications help track and recognize the impressive sustainability efforts going on across LPS properties.<\/span><\/p>

Buildings districtwide are continuing to improve their ENERGY STAR ratings through a combination of facility upgrades and consistent efforts from the staff and students who occupy them every day. <\/span><\/p>

For example, LED light bulbs reduce a building\u2019s energy usage on their own, but someone switching the lights off when they leave a room makes the impact even bigger!<\/span><\/p>

To be eligible for certification, a building must earn an ENERGY STAR score of at least 75 on a scale of 1 to 100. A rating of 75 reflects that a building operates at an energy efficiency greater than 75% of comparable properties in the United States.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
