The certification verifies that the building performs in the top 25 percent of buildings across the nation. On average such certified buildings use 35 percent less energy, cause 35 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions, and are less expensive to operate. Jim Marshall, Uintah Basin Healthcare President & CEO states, “UBH has an ENERGY STAR score of 100/100 which means we outperform all similar buildings nationwide. We’re honored to earn the ENERGY STAR for superior energy performance at UBMC and appreciate the efforts of our dedicated staff and their involvement in an efficient operation.
