Daily Real Estate News  |  April 14, 2009  |   LA Tops EPA's Annual Energy-Efficient List
Each year the Environmental Protection Agency counts the number of energy-efficient buildings that won its Energy Star certification.

In the latest report, released in March, the winner was Los Angeles – the sprawling metropolis known for its smog and crowded highways. It had 262 Energy Star buildings.

Why LA? This study only counts energy-efficient structures, says Maura Cantor Beard, communications director at the EPA’s Energy Star program, and California mandates attention to some of these details.

The number of Energy Star-certified buildings nationwide has climbed 130 percent in the last year, according to the EPA.

The 10 cities with the largest number of energy-efficient buildings are:
  1. Los Angeles
  2. San Francisco
  3. Houston
  4. Washington, D.C.
  5. Dallas
  6. Chicago
  7. Denver
  8. Minneapolis
  9. Atlanta
  10. Seattle
