Hamilton County’s continued commitment to energy efficiency and the environment shines with five buildings receiving 2024 ENERGY STAR Awards, the most widely recognized platform for whole-building energy performance. Using the EPA's 1-100 scale, to be ENERGY STAR certified, a building must meet at least a score of 75. Five County buildings scored higher:
Todd B Portune Center for County Government – Score 87
Alms & Doepke – Score 95
800 Broadway – Score 84
250 William Howard Taft – Score 83
230 East 9th – Score 83
The Alms & Doepke building (home of Hamilton County Job and Family Services), is in the top 5% of energy-efficient buildings in the country. Fantastic accomplishment for the County Facilities department, their team is responsible for maintaining the standards set for energy efficiency and completing the annual certification process.
