April 06 2017 - 10:03AM
LONDON - April 6, 2017 - Pentair has been named a
2017 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year - Sustained Excellence Award
winner for continued leadership in protecting our environment
through superior energy efficiency achievements. Pentair's
accomplishments will be recognized by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy in Washington,
D.C. on April 26, 2017.
Pentair, an ENERGY STAR partner since 2013, will
be honored for its leadership in manufacturing pool pumps that earn
the ENERGY STAR, the government-backed symbol of energy efficiency.
In order for pool pumps to earn the ENERGY STAR certification, the
pumps must be at least 30-72 percent more energy efficient than
typical pumps.
"In 2005, we sparked an industry-wide revolution
when we became the first to introduce variable speed technology to
the pool industry--years ahead of any other manufacturer," said
Karl R. Frykman, Pentair SVP and President, Water segment. "Since
then, our energy-efficient pool pumps have helped conserve 10.7
billion kilowatt hours of energy, preventing the release of 6.9
million tons of carbon dioxide--the equivalent of 14.5 billion car
miles not driven."
Frykman added, "In addition to continuing to
innovate energy-efficient pool and spa equipment solutions with our
Eco Select® products, we have worked to educate consumers about
energy saving opportunities. This powerful combination has helped
our customers enjoy their pools while saving money. We are proud to
earn our fourth consecutive Partner of the Year Award, and the
Sustained Excellence designation, and will continue to innovate and
educate to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We value our
partnership with ENERGY STAR and look forward to continuing this
journey together."
In 2015 alone, ENERGY STAR and its partners saved
American businesses and consumers 503 billion kilowatt hours and
$34 billion dollars on their energy bills, while achieving broad
emission reductions.
The 2017 Partner of the Year - Sustained
Excellence Awards are bestowed upon a diverse set of organizations
that have demonstrated continued leadership in energy efficiency.
Winners hail from small, family-owned businesses to Fortune 500
organizations-representing energy-efficient products, services, new
homes, and buildings in the commercial, industrial, and public
sectors.
