Engineered Tax Services today announced a fundamental commitment to protect the environment by becoming an ENERGY STAR partner. Engineered Tax Services, through its voluntary partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR Program, will work to improve energy efficiency and fight global warming.  Engineered Tax Services believes that a strategic, corporate energy management program will help us and our CPA clients to enhance our combined financial health and aid in preserving the environment for future generations.

“Engineered Tax  Services has worked hard educating the Accounting Public on the importance of the tax incentives needed to spur energy efficiency and renewable energy in the United States and I’m very proud that Engineered Tax Services has partnered with the Energy Star Program to been in the forefront in promoting energy efficient tax programs” added Julio Gonzalez.

In partnership with ENERGY STAR, Engineered Tax Services will:

• Educate CPA firms on the important tax benefits available to their clients for going Green.
• Measure and track the energy performance of our organization’s facilities where possible by using tools such as those offered through ENERGY STAR;
• Develop and implement a plan consistent with the ENERGY STAR Energy Management Guidelines to achieve energy savings;
• Help spread the word about the importance of energy efficiency to our staff and community;
• Support the ENERGY STAR Challenge, a national call-to-action for CPAs to help improve the energy efficiency of America’s commercial and industrial buildings by 10 percent or more;
• Highlight the achievements within the CPA community with recognition offered through ENERGY STAR.

“Environmental responsibility is everyone’s responsibility – and today I’m pleased Engineered Tax Services is taking this motto to heart,” said EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson.  “By making smart energy choices, Engineered Tax Services is helping improve our nation’s energy and environmental outlook.”

ENERGY STAR was introduced by EPA in 1992 as a voluntary, market-based partnership to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency. Today, the ENERGY STAR label can be found on more than 50 different kinds of products, new homes and commercial and industrial buildings. Products and buildings that have earned the ENERGY STAR designation prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy-efficiency specifications set by the government. In 2007, Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved about $16 billion on their energy bills while reducing the greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those of 27 million vehicles.
