U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded the Energy Star label to Honda of America's automobile assembly plants in Marysville and East Liberty, Ohio, for their energy efficiency performance over the past 12 months.
Requirements for achieving the Energy Star label include compliance with EPA regulations, safe lighting levels, and performance certification by a professional engineer licensed in the state where the plants are located.
EPA began its Energy Star motor vehicle manufacturing program in 2001.
Best known for a label for home appliance energy performance, the EPA started the Energy Star program in 1992 to help businesses and consumers protect the environment through energy efficiency.
