Lesher Earns Energy Star

Lesher has earned a 2009 Energy Star awards as recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Energy (DOE) for superior energy performance.

To earn the Energy Star label, a building must demonstrate that it is in the top 25 percent of energy performance as compared to buildings of a similar type. Facilities must also meet current indoor air quality standards, as verified by a registered professional engineer.

In 2008, there were 730 labeled schools in the United States, and 35 in Colorado; of that, 21 were PSD schools.  Since 2000, 87 PSD schools have received Energy Stars.

For more information, contact Pete Hall, PSD director of facilities, at 490-3425 or Stu Reeve, PSD senergy manager, at 490-3502.
