MALVERN, PA—Liberty Property Trust has received the 2016 Sustained Excellence Award from the US Environmental Protection Agency. The award—the third consecutive win for the company—acknowledges Liberty's continued leadership in protecting the environment through superior energy efficiency. It's also the sixth consecutive year the company has earned the designation “ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year.”
Since 2003, Liberty has received ENERGY STAR certification on 145 office and industrial buildings and has increased its average Energy Star score from 55 to 77 since its 2008 benchmarking. With an aggressive campaign focused on high-impact energy efficiency upgrades, Liberty doubled its number of ENERGY STAR certified warehouses and distribution centers in 2015.
“Energy efficiency should not be limited to office buildings, and while we should certainly not stop trying to be as efficient a possible there, we believe it is just as important to be forward thinking about industrial buildings,” says Bill Grayson, director of sustainability at Liberty. “We are very excited and honored to be recognized both through the ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellence and Partner of the Year Awards.”
