Pilkington North America has become an Energy Star partner with the US Environmental Protection Agency and will therefore ensure its float glass manufacturing facilities that produce energy-efficient products are also operated with concern for the environment. Pilkington energy-efficient products have carried the Energy Star label for the past 10 years. "Pilkington North America is pleased to partner with Energy Star & we look forward to doing our part to fully support the programme by continuing to improve the energy efficiency at our plants," said Todd Huffman, VP Operations, Building Products North America, in the release. In partnership with Energy Star, Pilkington North America will: Measure & track the energy performance of its facilities where possible by using tools such as those offered through Energy Star; Develop & implement a plan consistent with the Energy Star Energy Management Guidelines to achieve energy savings; Help spread the word about the importance of energy efficiency. "Energy Star partners such as Pilkington North America are leading the fight against global warming by improving the efficiency of their buildings & facilities," said Jean Lupinacci, chief of EPA's Energy Star Commercial & Industrial branch. "We applaud these efforts to help protect our global environment for generations to come."
