ENERGY
STAR Expands Energy-Efficient
Technologies and Services to More Markets
FAIRFAX, VA, November 26, 2001 - ICF Consulting has
been awarded two major U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) ENERGY STAR®
contracts to foster superior energy performance investment
decisions in the commercial, institutional, and industrial
markets, the residential sector, and in energy consuming products.
Through these five-year contracts, worth more than $50 million,
ICF Consulting professionals will support EPA's Climate Protection
Partnerships Division in the Washington, D.C. area, San Francisco,
Los Angeles, Houston, and Providence.
ENERGY STAR
was developed by EPA to promote widespread use of
energy-efficient technologies and services, and works to prevent
air pollution by reducing the emissions caused by the inefficient
use of energy. The long-term goal of ENERGY
STAR is to help effect market
transformations that will sustain the purchase and use of
increasing levels of energy-efficient products indefinitely.
"We are extremely pleased to have been selected by EPA
to continue this significant work on ENERGY
STAR. ICF Consulting team members
have committed their careers to protecting the environment
and many to ENERGY STAR
in particular. We believe our staff's commitment,
coupled with the leadership of EPA and its ENERGY
STAR partner, the U.S. Department
of Energy, can make ENERGY
STAR the leading worldwide
brand for energy efficiency and pollution prevention,"
says John Wasson, ICF Consulting executive vice president
of the energy practice.

& Industrial Sectors
ICF Consulting will support superior energy performance investment
decisions in the commercial, institutional, and industrial
markets, with the help of other team members, including the
Cadmus Group and Sentech. ICF Consulting's team will provide
market analysis, technical analysis, marketing and communications
support, the creation of strategic alliances in the marketplace,
Web strategies and content development, direct interaction
with organizations in the ENERGY
STAR community, and other
activities that support the goals of ENERGY
STAR with both national and
international organizations.
Energy Star Labeling & Residential

private-public partnerships and market-based initiatives to
increase the market penetration of ENERGY
STAR labeled products, homes,
and buildings. The team will offer product development, research
and analysis, sales and marketing, media marketing, software
