JCPenney Stores Become First to Earn New ENERGY STAR Retail Rating Using analytical tools from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), JCPenney determined that these stores - located in Bellevue, Burlington, Puyallup and Vancouver - use about 35 percent less energy than average retail stores, reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from electricity generation by 3 million pounds - a savings equal to the greenhouse gas emissions associated with electricity use of nearly 200 homes. Based on the new ENERGY STAR retail benchmark implemented Oct. 1, the four JCPenney stores collectively save almost $250,000 per year on energy, compared with average stores.
