In March, two Energy Trust trade allies were honored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy for their commitment to saving energy and protecting the environment through superior energy efficiency achievements.

Out of 2,100 contractors across the country, Bend-based GreenSavers is one of only six to win the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR – Contractor of the Year award. Over the last two years, GreenSavers improved the safety and efficiency of more than 650 homes in Oregon.

Portland-based Four Walls, Inc., was named Partner of the Year – Home Energy Rater. In 2015, Four Walls verified energy savings in more than 200 homes for a total of 1,000 homes verified since partnering with ENERGY STAR in 2007.

According to the EPA, the 2016 ENERGY STAR award winners lead their industries in the production and sale of energy-efficient products and services, and in the development and adoption of world-class strategies that provide substantial energy and money savings in the buildings where we live and work. The winners have been chosen from a vast network of 16,000 ENERGY STAR partners.
