Pentair Achieves ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year - Sustained Excellence Award for the Fifth Consecutive Year
Pentair Energy Efficient Pool Pumps Have Helped Consumers Save $1.5 Billion Since 2005
LONDON, April 2, 2018 /3BL Media/ – Pentair has been named by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy as a 2018 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year - Sustained Excellence Award winner. This honor marks the fifth year that Pentair has garnered recognition for its continued leadership in protecting the environment through superior energy efficiency achievements. Pentair's accomplishments will be recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy in Washington, D.C. on April 20, 2018.
Pentair, an ENERGY STAR partner since 2013, is being recognized for leadership in manufacturing energy-efficient pool pumps that earn the ENERGY STAR, the government-backed symbol of energy efficiency. To qualify for ENERGY STAR certification, pool pumps must be at least 30-72 percent more energy efficient than typical pumps.
"More than a decade ago, we began a journey to help our customers enjoy their pools while saving energy, sparking an industry-wide revolution when we became the first to introduce variable speed technology to the pool industry,” said Jerome Pedretti, Aquatic Systems vice president, Pentair. “Progress continues as we now mark five years as an ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year; we’re proud to be the only manufacturer in our industry to achieve this honor.”
Pentair Eco Select® efficient pumps have helped U.S. consumers save $1.5 billion between 2005 and 2017 which translates into 14 billion kilowatt hours of energy saved. The kilowatt energy savings helped prevent the release of nine million tons of carbon dioxide, which is the equivalent of 18.9 billion car-driven miles.
The 2018 Partner of the Year - Sustained Excellence Awards are bestowed upon a diverse set of organizations that have demonstrated continued leadership in energy efficiency. Winners hail from small, family-owned businesses to Fortune 500 organizations representing energy-efficient products, services, new homes, and buildings in the commercial, industrial, and public sectors.
