Bicentennial South, Discovery and Horizon earn Energy Star certification

Three GESD schools — Bicentennial South, Discovery and Horizon — earned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star certification for 2014 in recognition of their efforts and conserve and use energy efficiently.

Energy Star certified buildings and plants meet strict energy performance standards set by EPA. They use less energy, are less expensive to operate, and cause fewer greenhouse gas emissions than their peers. Starting with the first Energy Star certified building in 1999, tens of thousands of buildings and plants across America have already earned EPA’s Energy Star for superior energy performance.
