Honda Platinum Environmental Leadership Award

The Only Platinum-Rated Honda Green Dealership in the Capital District, and 1 of Only 15 Nationally

In addition to innovating some of the most fuel-efficient vehicles on the market, Honda’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint extends into its dealerships. With the “Green Dealer” Program, Honda outlines specific criteria dealerships can follow for a more sustainable showroom, and dealers who incorporate these measures are eligible for the Environmental Leadership Award. Saratoga Honda is thrilled to announce that our dealership has been awarded the status of Platinum-rated Green Honda dealership, one of only 13 in the nation!

Located in Saratoga Springs, we're proud to be a eco-friendly dealership for Honda shoppers in the the Glens Falls, Clifton Park, and Queensbury areas. Between the way we do business and the number of hybrids and fuel-efficient models in our inventory, choosing Saratoga Honda is an easy choice for the environmentally conscious driver.

What Makes a Green Dealer?

Honda’s Green Dealer program outlines specific energy-use measures to achieve this recognition. Some of them include:

• Lighting: Energy consumed by lighting accounts for 25% of a dealership’s total use. A solution is as simple as programmed controls or even energy-efficient lighting.
• Temperature Control: Around 50% of a dealership’s energy is occupied by heating and cooling. Honda's expert advice suggests that high-performance windows and doors, programmable thermostats, and high-efficiency boilers be among the equipment used in a dealer dedicated to going green.
• Water consumption: There are few things drivers love more than a squeaky-clean car, but the water waste can be tremendous. A closed-loop car wash recycles the water, reducing wastewater to zero, and your car will still look magnificent at the end.
• Solar Energy: The power of the sun serves as not only a sustainable, but cost-effective, energy source for Green dealers.
