Los Angeles is the most ‘Energy Starred’ major metropolis in the United States for the second year in a row.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced on Tuesday, March 23rd, that Los Angeles has more Energy Star rated buildings than any other city in the United States. Other cities making up the top five include Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Denver, and Chicago.
From the EPA press release:
“These cities see the importance of taking action on climate change,” said Gina McCarthy, assistant administrator for EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation. “Communities from Los Angeles to Louisville are reducing greenhouse gases and cutting energy bills with buildings that have earned EPA’s Energy Star.”
It is good to know that we are doing some things right in Los Angeles (and California).
