Washington – The Urban Land Institute (ULI) has received the 2022 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Award for the second consecutive year.
Announced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the award recognizes ENERGY STAR partner businesses and organizations that demonstrate superior leadership, innovation, and commitment to environmental protection through energy efficiency.
