Sol design + consulting earns the 2024 ENERGY STAR Market Leader Award
Sol design + consulting announced that it has been recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with a 2024 ENERGY STAR Market Leader Award for its contribution to rating and verifying energy-efficient homes and apartments that earned ENERGY STAR certification.
An ENERGY STAR partner since 2011, Sol verified more than 16 ENERGY STAR certified homes and apartments in 2023, helping to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 22 metric tons and achieving 21,668 kWh of annual electric savings.
In 2023, ENERGY STAR partners constructed more than 190,000 ENERGY STAR certified homes and apartments, representing more than 12% of all U.S. homes built. This work helped Americans save more than $600 million in energy costs and helped to avoid 4 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
"We are grateful for this recognition of our commitment to promoting sustainability and energy efficiency." Sanyog Rathod, President and CEO of Sol Design + Consulting, announced. "We want to express our gratitude to the EPA, as well as all of our partners and team members who contributed to this accomplishment. Together, we are making significant progress in steering ourselves toward a sustainable future. This achievement brings us immense joy!"
“We congratulate our Market Leader Award winners for their continued leadership in bringing energy efficiency to the forefront of the residential new construction sector,” said Jonathan Passe, manager of EPA’s ENERGY STAR Residential Branch. “These partners have truly made a significant positive impact in energy-efficient construction and environmental protection over the past year.”
For three decades, ENERGY STAR certified new homes have set the standard for quality, efficiency, and lasting value. These homes meet strict requirements set by the EPA, adhere to tried-and-true best building practices, and are third-party tested, inspected, and certified. The result is a home that is at least 10 percent more efficient than typical new construction while delivering improved comfort, durability, and indoor air quality.
