Energy Points Selected as "Invention" Winner in BBJ's 2012 Best Green Practices in Business Awards

Energy Points, the calculation engine for environmental sustainability, today announced it has been selected as a winner of this year's Boston Business Journal Best Green Practices in Business awards in the Invention category. Energy Points was selected for launching the world's first universal metric for measuring sustainability across all environmental domains, including fuel, electricity, transportation, water and more.

"Energy Points is based on the concept that environmental sustainability should be based on math, not adjectives. Our technology is designed to quantify disparate resources as energy and provide an accurate and intuitive measurement of that resource consumption," said Dr. Ory Zik, founder and CEO of Energy Points. "This award is a testament to our success in developing a calculation engine that can measure environmental susainability across all domains. We're honored to be selected from an impressive group of companies."

Energy Points provides a true measure of environmental sustainability by converting all domains (including electricity, water, transportation, etc.) into a single common unit of measurement. The EnergyPoints platform makes sustainability understandable for a broad, non-technical audience- moving the discussion beyond non-intuitive metrics. Currently in pilots with Fortune 500 companies and top government agencies across the U.S., Energy Points enables organizations make comparative, intuitive and fact-based decisions across all business locations, generating a greater financial and environmental return. Businesses can also measure their exposure to the changing energy market, estimate their environmental footprint and compare sustainability performance against competitors.

Now in their fifth year, the 2012 Best Green Practices in Business Awards honor the most innovative, effective leaders advancing green workplaces in Greater Boston. Energy Points' achievements will be honored during the BBJ's annual Best Green Practices in Cleantech and Energy event on, May 9, 2012 at the Seaport Boston Hotel.
