The Exuberant Accountant - Scott Heintzelman

This month, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a retrospective titled Celebrating A Decade of ENERGY STAR Buildings: 1999-2009. Four Seasons Produce’s facility on Wabash Road in Ephrata is one of two buildings identified as “Early Champions” in Pennsylvania. The EPA credits the company with having the first ENERGY STAR labeled warehouse in the country. Forty-seven facilities are highlighted in the retrospective among nearly 9,000 buildings that have earned the ENERGY STAR since 1999. ENERGY STAR labeled buildings typically use 35 percent less energy and emit 35 percent less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than average buildings.

As I profiled Four Seasons Produce as an Organization that “Gets It”, it was easy to see their attention to culture and values. This recognition by the EPA proves that they are a forward-thinking “green” company and sets them apart.
