ComEd, an ENERGY STAR® partner for the past eight years, will be
honored for their ongoing commitment to discount ENERGY
STAR-certified LEDs for their customers and executing an awareness
campaign promoting ENERGY STAR appliance rebates that resulted in
53,600 rebates valued at more than $2.8 million in savings. The
award also recognizes the significant increase in owners and
operators of commercial and multi-family buildings using the ComEd
created Energy Usage Data system tool.
