FAIRFAX, Va., June 11, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- PEG, LLC announced that it has been recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with a 2024 ENERGY STAR® Market Leader Award for its contribution to verifying energy-efficient new homes and apartments that earned ENERGY STAR certification.
An ENERGY STAR partner since 2006 PEG, LLC verified more than 11,876 ENERGY STAR certified homes and apartments in 2023, helping to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 16,501.7 metric tons and achieving 16,083,666.8kWh of annual electric savings.
In 2023, ENERGY STAR partners constructed more than 190,000 ENERGY STAR certified homes and apartments, representing more than 12% of all U.S. homes built. This work helped Americans save more than $600 million in energy costs and helped to avoid 4 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
"The industry interest and consequent enhanced scrutiny in ENERGY STAR Certified New Homes has provided an opportunity for the outstanding PEG family of professionals to demonstrate their collective commitment to excellence." said JoAnn Spence, President and CEO of PEG, LLC. "Their passion and professionalism is on full display day in and day out and I could not be more proud to share this award with every single associate, client and constituent that we have the honor to collaborate with."
"We congratulate our Market Leader Award winners for their continued leadership in bringing energy efficiency to the forefront of the residential new construction sector," said Jonathan Passe, manager of EPA's ENERGY STAR Residential Branch. "These partners have truly made a significant positive impact in energy-efficient construction and environmental protection over the past year."
For three decades, ENERGY STAR certified new homes have set the standard for quality, efficiency, and lasting value. These homes meet strict requirements set by the EPA, adhere to tried-and-true best building practices, and are third-party tested, inspected, and certified. The result is a home that is at least 10 percent more efficient than typical new construction while delivering improved comfort, durability, and indoor air quality.
