This guide provides instructions to ENERGY STAR® partners and program support organizations on completing common tasks using My ENERGY STAR Account.
LOGGING IN
Go to www.energystar.gov/mesa and enter the My ENERGY STAR Account (MESA) username and password you received by email. If you did not receive an email, select the “Forgot your password?” link on the landing page. You will see a home page similar to this:
PROGRAMS
The Programs section of the MESA home page lists your organization’s
involvement in ENERGY STAR programs. It includes details such as the program
name, the ENERGY STAR branch that oversees the program, your organization’s
relationship with the program, and your organization’s status with the
program. An organization can be involved in one or more ENERGY STAR programs.
CONTACTS
The Contacts section of the MESA home page lists all contacts within your
organization. Details are provided for each contact, such as the email address
and phone number. Each of your organization’s programs can have one or more
contacts associated with it, and you can associate the same contact with one
or more programs. To associate a
contact with a program, you must assign a program role for the contact. See
the following for instructions for this, as well as how to add a new contact,
reassign an existing contact to a new program, and remove a contact from a
program or from your organization altogether.
MY ENERGY STAR TOOLS & RESOURCES
The My ENERGY STAR Tools & Resources section provides your organization with
links to program-specific tools and resources.
ENERGY STAR QUICK LINKS
The ENERGY STAR Quick Links section provides links to relevant program
participation information and other places on the energystar.gov site.

contact information, and other account settings.
ADD A NEW CONTACT
