Melon: ENERGY STAR Green Button Benchmark

Melon uses Green Button data to make it simple to get an ENERGY STAR benchmark for commercial buildings.

Melon is the first company to utilize Green Button data to make it simple to get an ENERGY STAR benchmark for a commercial building. From there it is quick and easy to reduce energy waste and save money. When a building manager supplies basic building information and energy usage, Melon delivers an ENERGY STAR score and next steps.

Melon's application offers the over 1 million commercial buildings that are gaining access to Green Button a simple and affordable benchmarking analysis using the EPA's ENERGY STAR web services.

Founded in April 2012, Melon believes that the "Green Button" is a disruptive innovation creating unprecedented opportunities for energy savings. The Apps for Energy Challenge encouraged us to rapidly develop our first application.
