To be eligible, building construction documents must be 95 percent complete and receive an energy-efficiency rating of 75 or higher on a 100-point scale. The Village at Fairview store received a rating of 84.
The Fairview store is one of two planned JCPenney stores to be certified under the Designed to Earn the ENERGY STAR program. Based on its design, the store's annual energy performance is expected to be in the top 25 percent of comparable retail buildings.
As a member of the U.S. Department of Energy's Retailer Energy Alliance and the government's ENERGY STAR program, and two-time ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year recipient, JCPenney is committed to building on its legacy of environmental stewardship and social responsibility.
Over the past six years, JCPenney has invested more than $100 million to install energy management technology, lighting retrofits and high-efficiency HVAC systems in its stores. While working to reduce overall energy consumption, JCPenney is also exploring renewable energy projects and recently announced it will host rooftop solar power installations at 10 stores and a wind power project at one of its distribution centers.
In addition, JCPenney is one of 21 companies selected to participate in the Department of Energy's Net-Zero Energy Commercial Building Initiative.
JCPenney and other selected companies will team with two DOE National Laboratories on projects to achieve cost-effective energy savings of 50 percent above current standards for new commercial building designs and 30 percent for retrofits to existing buildings.
