HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Four CEMEX USA cement plants achieved the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency’s ENERGY STAR® certification for 2017, recognized for
their efforts in energy efficiency and sustainability.

The plants—Brooksville, Miami, Clinchfield and Victorville— achieved the
certification by ranking in the top 25 percent for energy conservation
when compared to similar U.S. facilities. Each plant also had to meet
the technical requirements of the ENERGY STAR® Plant Energy
Performance Indicators.

Throughout the year, all of the recognized plants followed
energy-efficiency principles established by the EPA’s ENERGY STAR®
Guidelines for Energy Management. The plants implemented energy
conservation and monitoring technologies, promoted energy-efficiency
awareness among employees and completed energy-reduction projects.

“These plants follow initiatives each day to ensure they operate with
sustainability in mind and lead the way in our industry. They serve as
models for others to follow with their repeated recognition for their
efforts. We are very proud of the work they’ve done to achieve ENERGY
STAR® certification this year by maintaining these high standards,”
said Dr. Hugo Bolio, Executive Vice President – Cement Operations and
Technology for CEMEX USA.

The Clinchfield plant achieved ENERGY STAR® Certification for the
11th consecutive year with its recognition in 2017. Miami was recognized
for the seventh consecutive year, and the Victorville Cement Plant
received the certification for the sixth straight year. 2017 was the
fifth time Brooksville earned the ENERGY STAR® Certification.
