What we are doing to protect the environment
For over 20 years, NSTAR has offered both commercial and residential energy efficiency programs to its customers, helping them save 6.5 million therms of natural gas and 800,000 megawatt-hours of electricity in the past five years alone, equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by half a million tons.
Earlier this year NSTAR earned a coveted Gold Certification for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for its corporate office building in Westwood. The company is one of only three in Massachusetts that have met the rigorous standards of a LEEDŽ Gold certification for existing buildings.
