Energy STAR NextGen

ENERGY STAR® NextGen™ is a new level of certification for U.S. commercial and multifamily buildings. It builds on the ENERGY STAR certification, available since 1999. ENERGY STAR NextGen-certified buildings are independently verified to be among the nation's most energy-efficient, low-emissions buildings. 

​

Performance Criteria 

To earn ENERGY STAR NextGen Certification, U.S. commercial and multifamily buildings must be independently verified to: 

1. Demonstrate Superior Energy Performance: The building must achieve an ENERGY STAR score of 75 or higher and meet all criteria associated with ENERGY STAR certification.

2. Meet a Direct Emissions Target: The building’s direct (i.e., onsite) greenhouse gas emissions intensity (GHGi) must be at or below a specified level. 

3. Use Renewable Energy: The building must obtain at least 30% of the total energy it consumes—or 100% of the total electricity it consumes, if lower—from eligible renewable sources.
