CertainTeed wins Energy Star Award
CertainTeed Corp. and its sister companies were
once again honored with the Energy Star Partner of the Year for Energy
Management in North America.
CertainTeed Corp. and its sister companies were once again honored with the Energy Star Partner of the Year for Energy Management in North America. This is the second year in a row that CertainTeed has been recognized with the award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The award recognizes all of Saint-Gobain’s North American businesses, including CertainTeed, for their accomplishments and leadership in reducing greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency. In 2009, Saint-Gobain’s energy-use reduction equated to a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions released to the atmosphere of more than 70,000 tons, a savings equivalent to the amount of energy required to manufacture wallboard to cover nearly 45,000 homes or insulate 100,000 homes.
“CertainTeed is committed to preserving our environment through sustainable manufacturing and developing products that will improve energy efficiency,” says Peter Dachowski, president and CEO for CertainTeed Corp. “We are pleased with our employees’ dedication to energy management which has made this year’s Energy Star Partner of Year award possible.”
CertainTeed’s insulation facility in Chowchilla, Calif., is another example of the company’s environmental record. The facility recently completed an energy efficiency project that will reduce overall plant energy consumption by 274kW per year, which is equal to the electricity use of approximately 25 homes per year. Energy savings were identified that will not only reduce greenhouse emissions but will yield productivity improvements as well. CertainTeed representatives said the company is the only fiberglass insulation manufacturer awarded the Energy Star Partner of the Year.
