Good Foods Market & Cafe Earns the ENERGY STAR for Turning Energy Use into Savings

Lexington, KY--Good Foods Market & Café has earned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) prestigious ENERGY STAR, the national symbol for protecting the environment through superior energy performance. Good Foods is the only business in Lexington and one of only 14 buildings in Kentucky that have earned the ENERGY STAR.

"Good Foods is pleased to accept EPA's ENERGY STAR in recognition of our energy efficiency efforts," said Anne Hopkins, General Manager."Through this achievement, we have demonstrated our commitment to environmental stewardship while also lowering our energy costs."

Organizations earn the ENERGY STAR by using EPA's national energy performance rating system to generate energy-efficiency ratings for their buildings, on a scale of 1 to 100 relative to similar buildings across the country. Good Foods earned a 98 out of 100 rating. The rating system is available for office buildings, schools, dormitories, hotels, hospitals, and grocery stores, among other commercial buildings.

To earn the ENERGY STAR, Good Foods took the following actions:

*Reengineered for a more efficient lighting system

* Expanded maintenance program for more efficient operations

* Reflective film treatment added to windows

* Eliminated low efficiency equipment and energy systems

* Improved department practices for energy and water usage

More than 3,200 buildings have earned the ENERGY STAR since in 1999. These 3,200 ENERGY STAR buildings in all 50 states represent over 575 million square feet. In the U.S., energy loss from commercial buildings represents almost 18 percent of our greenhouse gas emissions.

ENERGY STAR is a government-backed program that helps businesses and consumers protect the environment through superior energy efficiency. In 2006 alone, Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved $14 billion and prevented greenhouse gas emissions equal to those from 25 million vehicles.

Good Foods Co-op is a locally-owned cooperative business with two locations in Lexington - Good Foods Market & Café on Southland Drive and Good Foods Chapter 2, a cafe located inside the Downtown Lexington Public Library. We have served the Lexington community since 1972. Everyone is welcome to shop either location.
