BRIGHT
INVESTMENT
IN THE
E
MOMENT.
^ is a bright investment in the economy.
Your participation in Green Lights, EPA's
innovative, voluntary pollution-preven-
tion program, clears the air while
enhancing your bottom line. Whether
you're a large or small company, a gov-
ernment agency, a hospital, a university,
or a nonprofit, Green Lights can help
you save money and help all of us prevent
air pollution emissions from power
plants. All your organization has to do is
agree to survey its domestic facilities and
upgrade the lighting wherever it's prof-
itable to do so within 5 years. EPA will
help you obtain the most current infor-
mation about energy-efficient lighting
technologies and help you decide which
technologies are best for you. EPA also
provides guidance on how your upgrades
can be financed. The bottom line for you
is measurable energy savings. The bottom
line for the country is less air pollution. A
bright investment indeed!
-------
Many of the modern conve-
niences we take for granted
are major sources of pollu-
tion—and many of them require
electricity. Generating electricity
involves burning fossil fuels—coal,
oil, or natural gas—or running a nu-
clear reactor or hydroelectric plant.
The mining and transportation of
fossil fuels can result in various types
of pollution, including acid mine
drainage, oil spills, and natural gas
leaks. And burning fossil fuels emits
air pollutants from smokestacks,
including carbon dioxide, sulfur
dioxide, and nitrogen oxides.
For years, EPA has addressed these
problems by requiring polluters to
comply with "end-of-pipe" regula-
tions, which control pollution after its
creation. Today, EPA is increasingly
focusing on pollution prevention.
Energy efficiency is a cornerstone of
EPA's pollution-prevention strategy. If
we use less electricity to deliver an
energy service—such as lighting—the
power plant that produces the elec-
tricity burns less fuel and thus gener-
ates less pollution.
When sulfur diox-
ide and nitrogen
oxides are emitted
by power plants
and automobiles,
they mix with
water vapor, turn
into sulfuric and
nitric acids, and fall
to the ground in the
form of rain, snow,
fog, or acidic parti-
cles Acid rain dam-
ages buildings,
trees, and other
vegetation and can
harm aquatic life
-------
*%
Lighting accounts for 20-25 per-
cent of all electricity sold in the
United States. Lighting for industry,
stores, offices, and warehouses repre-
sents 80-90 percent of total lighting
electricity use, so the use of energy-
efficient lighting has a direct effect
on pollution prevention. Every kilo-
watt-hour of lighting electricity not
used prevents emissions of 1.5 pounds
of carbon dioxide, 5.8 grams of sulfur
dioxide, and 2.5 grams of nitrogen
oxides. If energy-efficient lighting
were used where profitable, the
nation's demand for electricity would
be cut by more than 10 percent. This
would result in annual reductions of
202 million metric tons of carbon
dioxide—the equivalent of taking 44
million cars off the road; 1.3 million
metric tons of sulfur dioxide; and
600,000 metric tons of nitrogen
oxides. These reductions represent
12 percent of U.S. utility emissions.
These goals may not be fully
achievable, but Green Lights seeks to
capture as much of the efficiency
"bonus" as possible.
Smog is caused by various
pollutants. Nitrogen oxides,
which are emitted by power
plants, are a primary ingre-
dient in a corrosive mixture
that is harmful to humans.
At best, smog irritates the
eyes and lungs. At worst, it
can intensify respiratory ail-
ments, including asthma
and bronchitis.
Sunlight passes through the atmos-
phere and is re-emitted as heat radia-
tion from the earth's surface. Certain
gases block a portion of the outbound
radiation, trapping heat much like a
greenhouse. This interaction helps
maintain the earth's average tempera-
ture at 60 degrees Fahrenheit In the
past 200 years, human activities have
significantly increased concentrations
of carbon dioxide and other "green-
house" gases, accelerating the rate of
global warming

The Green Lights roster
includes all kinds of organiza-
tions from all over the country.
In only 2 years, over 1,000 organiza-
tions have joined Green Lights. This
includes over 480 corporate Partners,
420 Allies, and 100 Endorsers.
Partners include major corporations
in oil, pharmaceutical, retail, and
other industrial groups, as well as
smaller nonprofit organizations.
There are also 31 government Part-
ners, including 4 federal agencies,
13 states, 7 cities, 6 counties, and the
U.S. Virgin Islands. Participants in-
clude restaurants and hotel chains;
nonprofit organizations and profes-
sional and trade associations; major
newspapers and cable networks; uni-
versities and local school districts;
hospitals and insurance companies;
as well as financial institutions and
real estate firms throughout the
country. These organizations have
teamed up with EPA by upgrading
their lighting, using less electricity,
producing less pollution, and improv-
ing their lighting quality. They typical-
ly cut their lighting bills in half, while
enhancing their environmental image
and increasing employee productivity
and morale.

THEIR PART
-------
Lighting is not typically a high pri-
ority for the vast majority of U.S.
institutions. Often the responsibility
of facility management, lighting is
viewed as an overhead item. Because
of this, most facilities are equipped
with the lowest first-cost (rather than
the lowest life-cycle-cost) lighting sys-
tems, and profitable opportunities to
upgrade the systems are ignored or
passed over in favor of higher-visibili-
ty projects. As a result, institutions
pay needless overhead every year,
reducing their own competitiveness
and that of the country. And wasteful
electricity use becomes a particularly
senseless source of pollution.
By signing the Green Lights
Memorandum of Understanding,
senior management makes it clear
that energy-efficient lighting is now
one of the organization's high priori-
ties. Authority is granted, budgets
are approved, procedures are
streamlined, and staff is assigned to
make the upgrades happen.
Signing the Green Lights Memorandum of Understanding creates specific commitments

-------
The commitment to maximize
energy savings by upgrading an orga-
nization's facilities often requires a
change in the way an organization
does business. Management will have
to take a fresh look at how the organi-
zation maintains and upgrades its
facilities, ensures environmental
responsibility, and plans for maxi-
mum work force production. For
some organizations, this change will
require significant planning and
coordination among several different
sectors of the organization.
While the Green Lights program is
flexible enough to allow organiza-
tions to approach implementation in
their own way, participants are
encouraged to plan a kickoff meeting
with the assistance of EPA representa-
tives shortly after joining the pro-
gram. The objectives of the meeting
are to mobilize the organization's
commitment to maximizing energy
savings, as agreed in the Memo-
randum of Understanding. The meet-
ing is also a forum for the Green
Lights implementation team to discuss
plans and options. The team typically
includes the Implementation Director,
regional/divisional coordinators, facil-
ity staff, a financial analyst, public rela-
tions and environmental affairs spe-
cialists, and senior management.
Implementation begins by estab-
lishing project leadership; commu-
Lightmg upgrades require
the expertise of lighting
designers, specifiers,
project managers, waste
management profession-
als, maintenance person-
nel, and financial man-
agers EPA's Lighting

vides an overview of the
steps and issues critical
to implementing success-
ful lighting upgrades.

-------
nicating and coordinating within the
Green Lights team; identifying
financing needs and resources; con-
ducting trial installations; drawing
up a 5-year action plan; and deter-
mining the best approach to specify-
ing lighting upgrades.
The Green Lights approach to
lighting upgrades defines as "prof-
itable" those projects that—in combi-
nation and on a facility aggregate
basis—maximize energy savings while
providing an annualized internal rate
of return (IRR) that is at least equiva-
lent to the prime interest rate plus
six percentage points. Projects that
maximize energy savings while pro-
viding internal rates of return higher
than the prime interest rate plus six
percentage points meet the Green
Lights profitability criterion. The typ-
ical Green Lights upgrade yields an
IRR of 20-40 percent post-tax.
As part of the Green Lights Memo-
randum of Understanding, Partners
and Allies agree to provide annual
documentation of the lighting up-
grades they complete. To simplify
this process, EPA asks Partners and
Allies to complete a one-page form
for each facility—the Green Lights
Implementation Report—to report
their progress.
GREEN LIGHTS UPGRADE PROJECTS
(as of March 1993)
Over 200 participants have
reported significant progress on
lighting upgrades with close to
one-quarter of their total square
footage currently being upgrad-
ed Investment in these new
lighting technologies currently
amounts to over $23 million

EPA provides a package of net-
working, technical, and mar-
keting tools, at no cost, that
are designed to ensure that lighting
upgrades will result in the greatest
possible energy savings, the best qual-
ity, and the highest possible return
on investment.
Decision Support System
This state-of-the-art computer soft-
ware package enables Green Lights
participants to survey lighting systems
in their facilities, assess their lighting
options, and select the best energy-
efficient lighting upgrade. It selects
lighting upgrades that maximize ener-
gy savings and pollution prevention,
while simultaneously maintaining or
improving lighting quality and meet-
ing the Green Lights profit criteria.
Lighting Services Group
This group provides extensive indi-
vidualized technical support through-
out the lighting upgrade process.
This includes monthly lighting work-
shops nationwide, covering advanced
lighting technology project manage-
ment, Green Lights reporting, and
the use of Green Lights software. The
Lighting Services Group also distrib-
utes the Green Ligh ts Lighting Upgrade
Manual, a step-by-step guide to a suc-
cessful lighting upgrade.
Financing Registry
To help participants manage the
up-front costs of converting to ener-
gy-efficient lighting, EPA has devel-
oped the most extensive data base
available on utility-sponsored finan-
cial assistance (auditing, technical
support, lighting design services, free
installation, rebates, and loans), and a
directory of over 75 energy service
companies that finance lighting effi-
ciency upgrades (leasing, shared sav-
ings, guaranteed savings, and other
financing techniques). The Green
TYPES OF
ENERGY-
EFFICIENT
LIGHTING
TECHNOLOGIES
Electronic Ballasts
All fluorescent lamps must have an
auxiliary, commonly known as a ballast,
to regulate the electrical current into
the lamp and provide the necessary
starting voltages. Each lamp requires a
ballast specifically designed for its
characteristics and for the service vol-
tage on which it is to be operated A
typical electronic ballast is 10-15 per-
cent more efficient than the standard
magnetic ballast
Compact Fluorescents
Compact fluorescent lamps (CFL's)
combine the efficiency of fluore-
scent technology with the familiar
light quality of incandescents. CFL's
convert most of their electricity into
light—not heat. As a result, CFL's
are four times more efficient than
standard incandescents and can last
9-15 times longer
-------
Lights Financing Registry is updated
every 6 months.
National Lighting Product
Information Program
This program provides objective
name brand information about light-
ing products. Cosponsored by EPA
and other organizations and devel-
oped by the Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute Lighting Research Center,
the program enables lighting special-
ists to make informed lighting invest-
ment decisions. In 1992, the program
completed reports on the perfor-
mance of electronic ballasts, reflec-
tors, power reducers, occupancy sen-
sors, compact fluorescents, and park-
ing lot luminaires. Five to ten new
reports are planned for 1993.
Ally Programs
These programs represent the
lighting and power industries. They
are comprised of lighting manufac-
turers, lighting management compa-
nies, lighting product distributors,
lighting surveyors, and electric utili-
ties. Like Partners, Green Lights
Allies agree to upgrade their lighting.
They also work with EPA to promote
energy-efficient lighting to potential
users. The Surveyor Ally Program
publishes a directory of individuals
who have attended a Green Lights
workshop and are committed to help-
ing Green Lights members fulfill
their obligations under the
Memorandum of Understanding.
Through this program, EPA is creat-
ing a group of lighting professionals
who are familiar with completing
energy-efficient lighting upgrades
using the Green Lights approach.
Fluorescent Tubes
The 40-watt T-12 "Cool White" fluorescent lamp has
dominated the commercial lighting market for decades
With rising energy costs, research and development of
more efficient lighting have become priorities. New sys-
tems that include the smaller-diameter T-8" lamp can
increase lumens per watt to over 100, as opposed to the
current standard of 60. By substituting these new sys-
tems, offices can improve their lighting quality while
reducing energy costs.
Motion Sensors
Occupancy sensors are motion-sensing devices that
automatically turn on lights when motion is detected.
keep lights on when motion is detected, and turn
lights off when motion is not detected The most
appropriate application for occupancy sensors is in
spaces where occupancy is infrequent or unpre-
dictable, such as private offices, conference rooms,
storage rooms, or rest rooms.

For Green Lights participants, suc-
cessfully marketing a genuine
"green" initiative can have significant
long-term public relations and com-
petitive advantages. Consumers,
investors, and other stakeholders
increasingly demand environmental
accountability. Organizations that
recognize the public relations bene-
fits of responsible environmental
practices increase their competitive
advantage. And participation in
Green Lights gives an organization
an opportunity to demonstrate its
environmental commitment by going
beyond the minimum requirements
of environmental protection laws. In
fact, networking among program par-
ticipants and the pooling of their
resources and ideas have proven to
be highly successful in promoting the
benefits of energy-efficient lighting.
The Green Lights' Public
Recognition program is designed to
help participants educate their
employees and customers about
Green Lights, keep participants
informed about the national pro-
gram's progress, and publicly recog-
nize Green Lights participants for
their voluntary pollution-prevention
commitments and accomplishments.
Participants have found that the
easiest and most cost-effective way to
promote participation in Green
Lights is through this use of the
Green Lights logo, As upgrades
advance, participants are encouraged
to use the logo appropriately on non-
product-specific communications
materials and integrate Green Lights
into their long-term marketing and
advertising strategies. EPA helps par-
ticipants promote Green Lights by
distributing ready-to-use materials
that can be incorporated into inter-
Green Lights is in the air, on the air,
and in the newsstands Green Lights
public service advertisements have
appeared in a wide variety of business
and environmental magazines, includ-
ing BusinessWeek, Fortune, and
Discover In the fall of 1992, the NBC
"Environmental Showcase"—a 30-
minute public affairs program devoted
exclusively to Green Lights—aired on
NEC and CBS stations across the coun-
try And, for 3 months at the end of
1992 and the beginning of 1993, Green
Lights Partner Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company aired public service
Green Lights messages on its
Goodyear airships Eagle, Spirit, and
Stars and Stripes
-------
nal communications, public relations,
marketing, and advertising materials.
To keep participants updated on
the program, EPA distributes the
Green Lights Update, a publication that
contains the latest information on
program developments, achievements
of Green Lights participants, and
energy-efficiency issues of interest.
EPA also distributes Light Briefs, a
series of easy-to-understand fact sheets
on energy-efficient lighting technolo-
gies. A variety of other informational
materials, including brochures and
videos that cover various aspects of the
program, are also available.
EPA further raises awareness of
Green Lights by recognizing pro-
gram participants through public ser-
vice advertisements in business,
trade, and popular magazines; press
releases and press conferences; and
articles in major newspapers and
other mass media.
Finally, because lighting accounts
for up to 10 percent of the average
residential electric bill, EPA is intro-
ducing Green Lights to residential
users. Highly efficient alternatives are
capable of cutting energy consumed
for lighting in half. To encourage the
use of these alternative technolo-
gies—such as compact fluorescents—
EPA is working with electric utilities
to promote the benefits of energy-
efficient lighting to their customers.
EPA will also work with Green Lights
Partners to design and distribute
educational materials aimed at resi-
dential users.

Building on the momentum
established by Green Lights,
EPA is now designing a new
generation of pollution-prevention
initiatives that will harness market
forces to achieve environmental goals
at a profit. The new initiatives reflect
the realities of the 1990's—the impor-
tance of environmental issues to con-
sumers, the increasing cost of energy
supply, and the intensely competitive
world marketplace. Taken together,
these factors make investments in
energy efficiency as critical to eco-
nomic success as they are to pollution
prevention. It is the synergy between
greater efficiency and increased prof-
itability that attracts corporations and
other institutions to Green Lights.
And it is this synergy that EPA plans
to tap for the next generation of pol-
lution-prevention initiatives.
EPA is planning a family of pro-
grams that offers the' kinds of tools
made available by Green Lights:
objective product information, ex-
pert decision-making capability, and
the ability to publicize progress in
protecting the environment. These
include the Energy Star Buildings
program, which will cover heating,
ventilation, and air-conditioning sys-
tems; and the Energy Star Computers
Computer systems consume 5 percent of all com-
mercial electricity—and this number could grow to
10 percent by the year 2000. Research suggests
that 30-40 percent of all computers are left on at
night and over weekends, and that even during the
day computers are active less than 20 percent of
the time. EPA's Energy Star Computers program will
result in dramatic reductions in energy use, costs,
and greenhouse gas emissions.

program, whose goal is to increase
market penetration of new, energy-
efficient personal computers.
EPA also provides incentives for
developing super-efficient products.
Under the "Golden Carrot"™ Refrig-
erator program, which EPA helped
develop with utilities and other
organizations, utilities have pooled
$30 million in rebate incentives to
refrigerator manufacturers. The
manufacturer that can build the
largest number of the most efficient,
chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)-free refrig-
erators the quickest and cheapest
wins the contract.
Finally, EPA encourages the use of
energy-efficient technologies over-
seas. EPA officials are working with
Chinese refrigerator manufacturers
to develop efficient, non-CFC-con-
taining refrigerators and are assessing
the supply of energy-efficient lighting
technologies available in China.
Refrigerators consume 20 percent of
all residential electricity On average,
refrigerators consume 1,200 kilowatt-
hours per year (kWh/yr) of electricity
EPA's "Golden Carrot"™ Super-
Efficient Refrigerator program is focus-
ing manufacturer research and devel-
opment toward energy efficiency in a
manner never before seen for refriger-
ators The winning refrigerator is
expected to use about 400 kWh/yr.
Every year, roughly 50,000 air-han-
dlmg motor drives are purchased
to move air through buildings and
factories. Of these, less than 20
percent have fans capable of oper-
ating at variable speeds—that is,
adjusting their power based on the
needs of the building occupants at
any particular time or any particu-
lar weather circumstance By pro-
moting the use of variable-speed
drives (VSD's) EPA will aim to
reduce electricity consumed for air
handling by 40 percent or more

Only by incorporating environ-
mental concerns can econo-
mies truly prosper, and taking
advantage of economic forces can
help realize environmental protection
goals. Through voluntary programs to
reduce greenhouse gases, EPA and its
private-sector partners seek to do both.
These programs promote profit-
able, voluntary investment in energy-
efficient technologies. They bring
together organizations with similar
long-term environmental priorities
and encourage them to rally around
shared public- and private-sector
goals. They enhance economic com-
petitiveness and create jobs by estab-
lishing markets for new products.
And the benefits of working with
EPA are considerable. EPA provides
extensive technical support as well
as public recognition for environ-
mental leadership.
All in all, these programs will help
reduce air pollutants and cut carbon
dioxide emissions in the United
States to 1990 levels by the year 2000.
If Green Lights were fully implemen-
ted in all space in the United States,
16
-------
it would result in air pollution reduc-
tions equivalent to 12 percent of U.S.
utility emissions. What's more, parti-
cipants would realize returns on their
lighting investments of 30 percent
and more. Green Lights could save
over 65 million kilowatts of electrici-
ty, reducing the national electric bill
by $16 billion per year. That's $16 bil-
lion that could be invested in jobs
and enhanced productivity. By the
year 2000, Green Lights could result
in over 220,000 new jobs.
How much of the Green Lights
potential is achieved depends on how
all of us work together to "make it
happen." As the prototype for future
market-driven, nonregulatory
"green" programs, Green Lights is a
bright investment in the environ-
ment. It is an enlightened approach
to energy efficiency and pollution
prevention that is revolutionizing the
way America protects its environ-
ment. See the light. Join.
Electric Bill Savings:
$15.8 Billion/Year
