Dublin campus earns Energy Star honors from U.S. EPA
Two buildings on our Dublin, Ohio, campus have been recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) prestigious Energy Star* program.
"The EPA's Energy Star recognition for our buildings is the validation of two decades’ worth of work towards better sustainability. We are very proud to receive this recognition," said Michael Cornett, Ashland’s director of facility services.
The award is given to buildings that perform in the top 25 percent of similar facilities nationwide for energy efficiency. Commercial buildings that can earn the award include offices, bank branches, financial centers, retail stores, courthouses, hospitals, hotels, K-12 schools, medical offices, supermarkets, dormitories, houses of worship and warehouses.
Buildings are evaluated in multiple energy efficiency categories and given an energy performance rating. A building that scores a 75 or higher on EPA’s 1-100 scale is eligible for Energy Star designation. Our buildings received scores of 98 and 88.

"In the early 1990s, Ashland’s Office and Building Services department began many efforts to reduce energy usage and improve sustainability on the Dublin campus," said Cornett. "Energy-efficient lighting, high-efficiency equipment and better building controls are just a few examples of these improvements."
We have also partnered with a network of regional companies to participate in a voluntary electrical curtailment program. The goal of the program is to reduce the demand on the electrical grid during peak-use crises.
