In an effort to be more environmentally
conscious, Ruskin announced that it has come an Energy Star
partner.
“Becoming an Energy Star partner is more than
symbolic,” said Tom Edwards, Ruskin president. “It requires a long-term
commitment in both people and financial resources. And while the requirements
to be a partner are extensive, the end result of preserving the environment for
future generations is worth it.”
In partnership with Energy
Star, Ruskin will be required to measure and track the energy performance of its
facilities, where possible, by using tools offered through Energy Star. The
company will need to develop and implement a plan consistent with the Energy
Star energy-management guidelines to achieve energy savings, and help spread
the word about the importance of energy efficiency to its staff and community .
“Energy
Star partners such as Ruskin are leading the fight for energy reduction by
improving the efficiency of their buildings and facilities,” said Kathleen
Hogan, director of the Environmental Protection Agency’s climate protection
partnership division. “We applaud these efforts to help protect our global
environment for generations to come.”
