An update from Energy Star shows that commercial and industrial organizations continued strong activity in 2008, outpacing previous year efforts. 

Use of EPA's energy performance rating system maintained solid growth. 

At the end of 2008, more than 11.5 billion square feet of space has been rated.
 

And at the same time new organizations partnering with EPA as ENERGY STAR partners nearly tripled. 

Recognition of organizations for improvement and top performance grew significantly and the number of facilities qualifying for the ENERGY STAR label surpassed 6,200.
