“CenterPoint is pleased to become an ENERGY STAR partner,” said Bob Chapman, CEO, CenterPoint Properties. “Through this partnership, we will demonstrate our commitment to environmental stewardship and lower our energy costs by improving the energy efficiency of the buildings we own/manage,” stated Elena Daniel, Vice President, ESG & Corporate Affairs.
