SHELTON, CT – 6 Armstrong Park, a 168,000 SF Class A office building, is the first office building in Shelton to earn the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR certification. This designation means the building is in the top 25 percent of facilities nationwide and meets specific standards for comfort and indoor air quality.
The EPA introduced ENERGY STAR in 1992 as a voluntary program to assess the degree of efficiency that a building uses energy—as compared to other like buildings nationally. “We are pleased to accept the EPA’s ENERGY STAR certification in recognition of our ongoing commitment to pursuing energy efficiency across our portfolio and to the direct benefit of our tenants,” says Lynn Fusco, President of Fusco Management Company. “By implementing changes that lower energy costs without sacrificing comfort or air quality, we are providing a tangible benefit to our tenants and the environment.”
Commercial buildings that are ENERGY STAR certified use an average of 35 percent less energy and release 35 percent less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than typical buildings. To be eligible for this certification, a building must score a rating of 75 or higher based on a 1-100 performance rating scale.
