ENERGY STAR Certification
KOW helps owners pursue ENERGY STAR certification for eligible existing buildings. The work starts with the property record and energy data, then follows the applicable verification and application requirements.
Benchmarking establishes a performance record; certification requires a separate application and verification process. The engagement identifies the building pathway and responsible licensed professional before submission. EPA determines certification.
