Bell Atlantic Rings Up Energy Savings
With Improved Lighting as a Result
With 42 million square feet of
facilities, Green Lights Partner
Bell Atlantic has an opportunity
to save money and prevent pol-
lution on a large scaleand
improve lighting quality with its
Green Lights upgrades. In the
135,000 square foot Richmond
(VA) Data Center, the upgrades
directed by Andy Yesolitis, Bell's
Green Lights Implementation
Director for southern Virginia and
West Virginia, involved innovative
means. Bell used panel-level dim-
ming to prevent glare where
upgrades were expected to cut
the lighting load in half but
increase light levels substantially.
According to Surveyor Ally
Kirk White of Shane Companies,
the Richmond Data Center up-
graded 7,157 fixtures between
November 1993 and March 1994
(see box below). In the area
where workstations are used,
however, the initial T-8 retrofits
Richmond Data Center Upgrades
increased light levels (>40 foot-
candles [fc]), creating a signifi-
cant glare problem on computer
screens.
One solution was to install
small-cell parabolic louvers to
direct more light straight down
out of fixtures. This solution
would reduce light levels by
blocking 30 percent of the light
emitted from the fixtures at a
cost of $100 per fixture, with no
electricity reduction. Bell
Atlantic opted for one smart
solutionto install a variable
voltage panel-level dimming sys-
tem to reduce voltage to the
ballasts, thereby reducing light
output and glare. The dimming
system cost $6,600 and reduced
the lighting load by 2.7 kilo-
watts (kW) and the light level to
24 fc, eliminating glare follow-
ing IES-RP-24 lighting level
guidelines for offices containing
video display terminals.

With Green Lights and Energy Star,
"The Power Is Yours!"
From a billboard at Spring and 14th
Streets in midtown Atlanta, Superhero
Captain Planet is spreading the word:
Green Lights and Energy Star are good
for the environment and the bottom lines
of area organizations that join these vol-
untary, energy-efficiency programs.
Mike Newman, formerly of EPA's
Region 4 Policy Planning and Evaluation
Branch, conceived of using Captain Planet
as the focus of a billboard promoting
Green Lights and Energy Star. Produced by
Turner Broadcasting System, each
episode of Captain Planet and the
Planeteers has an environmental theme,
making Captain Planet a perfect spokeshero
for Green lights and Energy Star.
According to Danny Orlando of EPA's
Region 4, who assisted with the project,
Newman pulled together the Green Lights
team that made the billboard possible:
Green Lights Partner Turner Broadcasting
provided Captain Planet and the graphics
staff; Utility Ally Georgia Power
Company provided the plastic sheeting
on which the graphic is printed; and
Endorser Greater Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce obtained the billboard space
through 3M National. Erected in
September 1994, the Captain Planet mes-
sage will appear on billboards in the
Atlanta area for 1 year.
"It's a great collaboration that gets
the message across," says Orlando of the
teamwork among Turner, Georgia Power,
the Chamber of Commerce, and EPA. HI
continued from page 4
(kWh) due to lower lighting
heat loads. According to
Yesolitis, the Richmond Data
Center now plans to install
occupancy sensors in confer-
ence, storage, and mail rooms
to further increase its energy
savings. Shane Companies,
which will soon become a
Lighting Management Company
Ally, has surveyed 190 Bell
Atlantic buildings in Maryland,
Virginia, and West Virginia and
foresees significant savings
throughout these facilities.
"Reducing energy costs and
doing our part to improve the
environment are two major
objectives that Bell Atlantic has
achieved through its participa-
tion in the Green Lights pro-
gram," says Yesolitis. "And I
have found that working with a
Green Lights Ally, such as Shane
Companies, not only saves my
time but also assures the success
of our lighting upgrades." PI

The Energy Star
Showcase Buildings Series:
Measurement and Verification
To help Green Lights partici-
pants follow EPA's Energy Star
Showcase Buildings initiative
(launched June 16, 1994), the
Update is documenting the results
of Showcase Buildings partici-
pants as they implement each
stage of the program. This article,
the second in a series, describes
the special measurement and ver-
ification process being used at
each Showcase site to:
Help Showcase Buildings Part-
ners effectively identify major
energy savings opportunities
Ensure that the Showcase
Buildings serve as solid case
studies for the Energy Star
Buildings program
Set guidelines for monitoring
Showcase Buildings results to
produce consistent, practical
data for program use
Minimize the cost of Energy
Star Building monitoring by
relying largely on energy
management systems that
already exist in buildings
The target for Energy Star
Buildings is a 40 percent reduc-
tion in energy loads. The mea-
surement and verification
process establishes a baseline
energy use profile segmented by
major energy loads.
While utility bills can be
used to assess a building's over-
all baseline energy use, they do
not typically reveal potential
energy savings. Electric and gas
bills do not break down energy
usage by end use and do not
include data on important load-
influencing factors, such as heat-
ing and cooling degree days. In
addition, a complete 3-year
record is generally necessary to
accurately analyze electric and
gas billsdata sets that are not
always easy to obtain.
To achieve a more accurate
profile of a building's energy
use, it is useful to document
energy use segmented by the
following major loads: air han-
dling; lighting and lighting pan-
Sample Energy
End Use Profile
els; cooking equipment; comput-
er data center; receptacle (plug
loads); and heating/reheating
and cooling equipment.
On-site metering equipment
can record energy used by spe-
cific loads. For example, record-
ing meters attached to air
handler motors can determine
the actual amount of energy
required to move air to various
areas of a building. By also
recording and analyzing weather
conditions in conjunction with
metering, an accurate assessment
of the building's systems and
energy efficiency can be made.
While this level of sophistica-
tion for measuring and verifying
will probably not be required
when the full-scale Energy Star
Buildings program is launched,
potential participants will benefit
from the detailed monitoring
used in the Showcases.
The April/May Update will
take a closer look at the imple-
mentation of Stage 1: How
Green Lights optimizes benefits
from the Energy Star Buildings
program. To learn more about
the Energy Star Buildings and
Showcase programs, call the

Low-Interest Loans Have
Ohio Businesses Seeing Green
The Pollution Prevention
Loan Program, a joint effort
between the Ohio Environ-
mental Protection Agency (Ohio
EPA) and Ohio Department of
Development (Ohio DoD), is
offering fixed-rate, low-interest
loans to help small and medi-
um-sized businesses (500
employees or less) upgrade or
purchase equipment for pollu-
tion prevention and/or energy
efficiency, including Green
Lights upgrades.
Ohio EPA and DoD saw a
need for more financial incen-
tives to get environmental
efforts going. "We're ecstatic to
be providing money for pollu-
tion prevention programs to
qualified businesses,'' says
William Narotski of Ohio EPA's
Office of Pollution Prevention.
The loan program, designed
with the help of Craig Butler,
Ohio EPA's Green Lights pro-
gram officer, was announced
November 21, 1994, by
Governor George V. Voinovich.
Requests for the Technical
Review Worksheet, which appli-
cants must complete, are com-
ing in at a rate of three per day,
and Narotski wants to see
requests from businesses seek-
ing to finance Green Lights
upgrades.
The Pollution Prevention
Loan Program will provide $5
million in loans in its first year,
$5 million in its second, and
thereafter a revolving fund will
provide loans as funds become
available. Preferential interest
rates will be available to busi-
ness located in distressed areas
of the state.
Ohio EPA will evaluate sub-
mitted Technical Review
Worksheets for approval, after
which Ohio DoD will determine
loan eligibility. Ohio requires
that a conventional lender and
the business itself participate to
the maximum extent possible,
and preference will be given to
projects maximizing these
sources. Funds received may be
used for:
Equipment upgrade or pur-
chase costs
Architectural/engineering
costs
Installation costs
Bank loan financing costs
Projects must be completed
within 2 years, and the loan
term cannot exceed 7
years for equipment
financing.
With 59 Ohio
organizations already
participating in
Green Lights, includ-
ing the State of
Ohio, Ohio EPA and
DoD are doing their
part to support the
program. For more infor-
mation about the Ohio

Compact halogen lamps are
actually two lamps in one-, an

tungsten-halogen quartz lamp
inside. The result is a clean,

a scale of 0 to 100).
Compact halogen lamps
offer features that make them an
ideal choice over
incandescents:
Improved effi-
ciency. Compact
halogen filaments
operate at higher
temperatures, so
they produce up
to 50 percent more lumens per
watt. This is possible because
the quartz capsules help confine
filament heat, and some lamps
feature an optional infrared

In addition, special wide-beam
lamps can be used in down-
lights mounted in ceilings less
than 12 feet high.
Fully dimmable. Consider
compact halogens to retrofit
incandescent luminaires on dim-
ming circuits, because they can
be dimmed using conventional
incandescent dimmers. In retrofit
situations, compact halogens are
a much more economical choice
than dimmable compact fluores-
cent luminaires and controls.

Alternatives
Compared with compact flu-

room-specific light level analyses.
The enhancements to ProjectKalc
version 2.0 enable users to define their
own custom fixtures, calculate Life Cycle
Costs, and export project information to
ReportKalc for progress reporting. To
order ProjectKalc version 2.0, call the
Green Lights Hotline at 202 775-6650.
Green Lights has shipped ReportKalc
to approximately 1,000 users. ReportKalc
helps users to:
track and issue progress reports
by validating a variety of project
and fixture input data;
calculate required values, such as
lighting savings and internal rate
of return;
maintain a record of all projects;
and
submit electronic copies of the
reports to EPA.
ReportKalc is being mailed to partici-
pants with their anniversary letters.
Green Lights Implementation Directors
may also request ReportKalc in advance
by contacting the Green Lights Hotline at
202 775-6650. H
