The Energy Management Association (EMA) partnered with ENERGY STAR earlier this year to host the first Retro Rumble — a competition that recognizes commercial and public building energy efficiency success. Participants were judged based on their overall changes in ENERGY STAR score and site Energy Use Intensity (EUI). Announced in April 2020, Retro Rumble’s introduction also marked the designation of EMA as an ENERGY STAR Partner.
