-------
Five years ago, EPA introduced Green Lights, a unique voluntary
program designed to help businesses save money while decreasing
pollution and energy use. Since 1991, over 2,000 organizations have
embarked on the Green Lights road to success. These participants have easily
overcome minor roadblocks to prove that energy efficiency is as
simple as it is profitable.
Green Lights participants have been instrumental to program
improvement and growth, and have helped to make 1995 the most
successful and profitable year yet. Participants have helped pave the
road for other businesses by recruiting Partners and assisting new Partners
with upgrades. And by decreasing greenhouse gases that cause pollution
and global climate change, Green Lights participants are helping to
make the world a better place for all of us.

Congratulations to Green Lights Participants:
Since its inception in 1970, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has dedicated
itself to protecting public health and preserving our environment. A key strategy to accomplish
that preservation and protection has been to prevent pollution before it is created. I his trend
toward pollution prevention is one of the most encouraging environmental developments of
recent years. Pollution prevention is much more than a concept; it is both a reality and a
demonstrated success.
Energy efficiency and waste minimization are pollution prevention concepts that make sense.
I am pleased to applaud the successes of the more than 2,000 participants in our Agency's Green
Lights program. Cooperating with EPA in a voluntary, energy-efficient lighting initiative to reduce
atmospheric pollution, Green Lights participants' successes are many and remarkable. To date
these participants are:
• installing energy-efficient lighting in more than 5 billion square feet of U.S. facility spaa1
(equivalent to one in every 14 commercial buildings in tlie United States);
• preventing over 3.3 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions per year;
• reducing their use of electricity by more than 2 billion kilowatt-hours per year (enough to power over
1,300 office buildings of 100,000 square feet for one year!);
• saving more than $172 million per year (reducing operating costs, making organizations stronger
and more competitive, and reinvesting in the American economy); and
• proving that voluntary pollution prevention efforts work and are examples of good government.
After five years, these organizations have proven that partnerships between the public and private
sectors can bring about environmental change. As EPA Administrator, 1 am proud to honor all the
organizations that participate in this innovative program, especially the over 300 that have recently
completed their energy-efficiency improvements. Their environmental stewardship sets a profound
example for their employees, communities and the public-at-large.
Looking to the future, EPA will partner with an even more diverse group of businesses, state
and local governments, health and educational organizations and others, for another five years of
success through the ENERGY STAR family of programs that will carry American energy efficiency
and profitable pollution prevention into the next millennium.

Taking the First Step: The Story of Green Lights and ENERGY STAR Buildings
T,,
.in ENERGY STAR
Green
Lights
Potential Energy Savings:
he first step on the road to energy efficiency
is Green Lights, a voluntary, non-regulator}' program
that enables participants to decrease atmospheric
pollution while improving profitability, lighting
quality and building efficiency.
Green Lights participants, which include orga-
nizations of all kinds, survey their domestic facili-
ties and upgrade lighting .
where it is profitable and
where it maintains or
improves lighting quality.
Green Lights is also the
President Bill Clinton
April 21, 1993
first step in the five-stage
LNCIU.V SiAK Buildings pro-
gram, which enables par-
ticipants to maximize
energy savings and mini-
mize pollution emissions as they improve the effi-
ciency of their building's air distribution, and
heating and cooling systems.
Estimates show that if all U.S. facilities were
upgraded to energy-efficient lighting, where prof-
itable, energy savings would exceed $12 billion
a year while decreasing air pollution by five per-
cent. This would be equivalent to taking 15 million
cars off the road, resulting in less smog, acid rain
and a slowing of global climate change.
We must take the lead in addressing
the challenge of global warming....
This must be a clarion call ... for American
ingenuity and creativity to produce the
best and most energy-efficient technology."
-------
When participants join the dreen Lights program.
they agree to fulfill their upgrade commitments
in five years. ('.onsequeiitly. 1W5 was a particularly
important year for the dreen lights program because
it marks the fifth year that organizations have part-
nered with l-'.l'A to reduce atmospheric pollution
through energy-efficient lighting installations.
Organizations like Whirlpool, Warner-Lambert and
Philips Lighting have been with the program since
the beginning, and have been instrumental in proving
that government and private industry, working
together, can bring about positive change for our
environment.

The Public and Private Sectors Walking Hand-m-Hand
FROM WALL STREET TO MAIN STREET
Green Lights participants range from Fortune
500 giants to the elementary school down the
street. Although completely different, they have
common goals: reduce pollution and achieve
the greatest return on their investments. Green
Lights helps them achieve those goals by paving
the way for lighting upgrades and optimum
energy cost savings. Green Lights participants
f 1
-------
include Partners, Allies and Hndorsers, each of
whicli fulfills specific roles within the program.
Partners are public or private organizations
that agree to survey their facilities and upgrade
to energy-efficient lighting products wherever
profitable. Allies are lighting industry affiliates
that make the same commitment as Partners.
In addition, Allies agree to promote Green Lights
and energy-efficient lighting to their
customers. Allies include lighting
manufacturers, surveyors and distribu-
tors; lighting services and management
companies; and electric utilities.
Endorsers are professional and
trade organizations that agree to
promote Cireen Lights and energy-efficient
lighting technologies to their members.
Good news travels fast, and over the past
five years, the number of Green Lights and
ENERGY SIAR Buildings participants has skyrock-
eted. Last year more than 400 Partners, Allies
and Endorsers joined the Green Lights program,
and 71 organizations became members of the
ENERGY SIAR Buildings program.

SMALL BUSINESSES BRIDGE THE GAP
Small businesses are essential to our economy's
success. Through Green Lights, small
businesses can increase their own success
by bridging the gap from inefficiency and
wasted energy, to energy efficiency and
increased profitability. The Small Business
Administration (SBA) indicates that
99.7% of all U.S. businesses are small
businesses, employers of fewer than 500 people;
and these companies contribute 38% to the
Gross National Product (GNP). Currently, 33%
of the total 1995 Green Lights participants are
"small" businesses. These small businesses have
been critical to the success of Green Lights.
Every dollar counts with small businesses, espe-
cially the overhead costs. These companies are
demonstrating that the same improve-
ments that large corporations
make to their lighting,
HVAC, and office equipment
are just as profitable for a
smaller facility.

new energy-efficient products in
their industry. These programs

toward government and small
business working together for
environmental profitability.

The Green Lights and EMIU.V SIAK Buildings
programs have increased their focus on guiding
the "smallest" of businesses-those with under
100,000 square feet. Small businesses are vital
to the success of energy-efficiency programs,
and they represent a large number of Allies and
Partners. Because businesses of this facility size
compose a substantial percentage of program
membership, EPA has been able to identify and
address their specific information and funding
needs. EPA has increased its focus on small
business with a program designed specifically
for those businesses with under 100,000
square feet.

POLLUTION PREVENTION
Green Lights and HNMU^ SIAU Buildings
participants improve their bottom line and
enhance their public
image; but most impor-
tant, they contribute
to the welfare of the
entire earth's popula-
tion. After just five
years, Green Lights
program participants
are decreasing the
amount of harmful
emissions being
released into the
earth's atmosphere by 3.3 billion pounds per
year, which is equal to taking 220,000 A
cars off U.S. roads.
SMARTER ENERGY USE
At the five-year mark, lighting at Green
Lights participant facilities is 65% more effi-
cient than at the beginning of the program.
Participants making additional commitments by
joining the ENERGY STAR Buildings program have
increased energy efficiency enough to reduce
their physical plant costs by 30%.

COST SAVINGS TO FOSTER BUSINESS GROWTH
While most U.S. businesses would normally
accept their energy bills as standard overhead
costs, Green Lights participants are able to reinvest
their energy cost savings in capital investments,
personnel, and other expenditures that make
them more competitive in the marketplace.
Energy savings for Green Lights participants
typically exceed lighting
replacement costs by
more than 25 percent. In
dollars and cents, that
translates to participants
cumulatively saving over
$172 million per year in
electric utility charges
since the program began.

MARKET TRANSFORMATION
1'lie tireen Lights participants' increasing
demand for energy-efficient lighting products
has encouraged program Allies and other
lighting industry companies to produce a
greater number of energy-efficient products.
These products have become the simple
building blocks of a stronger, more energy-
efficient economy.

USX Corporation, parent company to Marathon Oil
and U.S. Steel, exemplifies how a large corporation can
successfully implement Green Lights at multiple facilities.
Roy Weiskircher, Green Lights Implementation Director
for U.S. Steel, and his counterpart at Marathon,
Bradford Troup, both agree that the secret to USX's
Green Lights success is allowing one person at each
site to take initiative for implementation and promotion.
To spread the word of their success around the corpora-
tion, USX produced a 20-minute video detailing
the successful retrofit of the

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU) -
ROADMAP TO ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Joining the Green Lights program is as easy
as it is profitable. Participants sign a voluntary
Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) and
agree to do the following:
• Sitn'ey 700% of their facilities.
• Within five years, upgrade 90 percent of the square
footage that can be upgraded profitably without coin-
promising lighting quality:
• Appoint tin implementation director who will oversee
the upgrades and work with EPA to promote the pro-
gram.
• Within 180 days of signing the MOU, complete a
demonstration lighting upgrade and conduct a kick-off
meeting to introduce the program to senior-level man-
agers.
• At least annually, report upgrade progress
to EPA.
U.S. companies and organizations are
remarkably diverse in their corporate cultures
and organizational structures. Consequently,
the Green Lights MOU provides steps and time
frames for completing an upgrade program, but
leaves decisions about how to implement and
administer the program up to the individual
implementation directors. Green Lights partici-
pants have found that with the resources and
advice provided by EPA, they have been able
to successfully plan, gain approval for, and
implement their Green Lights upgrades while
-------
working within the context of their company's
^ i
organizational policies and structure.
PARTICIPANTS OVERCOME BUMPS IN THE ROAD
Financing - 1 here are numerous ways that
companies can finance lighting upgrades, from
leases to loans to utility incentives. Green
Lights can help companies figure out how to
get the best return on their investment from
the very start. Medical College ofdeoiyia,
for example, was interested in a lighting
upgrade program hut couldn't begin unless they
could return their investment in less than three-
years. A Green Lights account manager analyzed
their building and determined that lighting
upgrades along with a chiller replacement would
give them a payback in two to three years. With
that information in hand, the college was ready
to look for financing opportunities, which in
their case involved working with companies and
government agencies that would match funds for
the project.
Multiple Buildings - Rockwell
International Corporation has more
than 100 facilities scheduled for
upgrade, and numerous facilities
/managers in charge of completing
the task. Kieran Bergin, who heads
the Rockwell Green Lights program, found that
the best approach under these circumstances is
to provide each facilities manager with informa-
-------

tion about the Green Lights program and demon-
strate to them that lighting is an important
ingredient in cost-effective energy consumption.
Decentralized Structure - At The West
Conipuny. a supplier of products and delivery-

industries, which plans to upgrade 15 facilities
throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico, each chief
plant engineer must write a Capital Equipment
Request (CER) and receive financing approval
for each individual building. However, Dick
Lusch, the Green Lights Implementation
Director, has been able to expedite the process
by securing a corporate funding block for all of
the sites' lighting upgrades and assisting
the plant engineers in writing and submitting

ENERGY STAR Buildings Program Goes the Extra Mile
Honeywell -
Demonstrating its commit-
ment to environmental
excellence, Honeywell,
one of the Showcase
Buildings participants,
became the first company
to commit all of its U.S.-
owned buildings to the
ENERGY STAR Buildings pro-
gram -31 facilities plus
two leased buildings for a
total of 9.3 million square
feet.
Mobil Corporation -
One Fountain Square, a
28S,OOO-square-foot retail
building owned by Mobil
Corporation, demonstrates
the tremendous savings
potential for participants
in the ENERGY STAR
Buildings program. At this
facility, substantial light-
ing upgrades had already
been implemented before
it became a Showcase
Building. However, using
the ENERGY STAR Buildings'
staged approach and
employing the program's
analytic tools enabled
Mobil to initiate a broad
range of additional
upgrades that will save
over $52,000 per year.
TAKING THE HIGH ROAD TO POLLUTION
PREVENTION
The U.S. economy spends approximately
$70 billion each year to operate commercial
and industrial buildings. New energy-efficient
technologies could reduce that energy use by 40
percent or $28 billion annually. With this goal
in mind and the Green Lights program as a
model, the ENERGY SIAR Buildings program was
launched in 1995.
ENERGY STAR Buildings is
a comprehensive energy-
efficiency program for
commercial facilities that
includes air distribution
and heating and cooling
equipment, as well as

to achieving global leadership in responsi-
ble environmental management."

Chairman and CEO of Honeywell.
lighting. ENERGY STAR Buildings participants are
asked to complete upgrades which will result
in a minimum 20 percent internal rate of
return, with a goal of reducing their facility's
energy consumption by 20 to 40 percent.
SHOWCASE PARTICIPANTS LEAD THE WAY
The "Showcase" Buildings initiative, a one-
year accelerated pilot program highlighting 24
buildings and 23 organizations across the country,
was designed to demonstrate EPA's ENERGY STAR
upgrade strategy, validate the energy savings
-------
SAVING THE EAJTTH SAVING YOUR MONEY
predicted for the program, and test l-.PA's tech-
nical tools and support system. At the
conclusion of this successful initiative, l-.PA
launched the KNI-KGY SIAK Buildings program at
the first annual Atmospheric Pollution
Prevention Division (APPD) I-orum in April 1995.
A FIVE-STAGE PROGRAM THAT MAXIMIZES
ENERGY SAVINGS
The key element of the KNTIU.Y SIAK Buildings
program is a five-stage upgrade strategy that
capitalizes on system interactions to maximize
energy savings and minimize equipment costs.
The upgrades are staged so that heating and
cooling loads are reduced before major HVAC
equipment upgrades are initiated. This staged
approach provides immediate energy cost savings
and ensures proper load matching when major
equipment is upgraded in the later stages of
the program.
Implement Green Lights - The first stage
in the KNTKGY SIAK Buildings program is to par-
ticipate in the Green Lights program
by installing energy-efficient lighting
where profitable and where lighting
quality is not compromised.
Tune Up Building Systems - Stage two
includes checking and adjusting build-
ing systems, and developing and imple-
menting an ongoing, preventive main-
tenance program.
29
-------
30
Reduce HVAC (Heating, Ventilating, and
Cooling) Loads - During stage three, partici-
pants are advised to install window
films, reflective roof coverings, and
more effective roof insulation and to
buy computers, monitors and print-
ers with the EMIU.Y SIAR logo, which
indicates that they meet EPA's energy-efficiency
guidelines.
Improve Fan and Air-Handling Systems -
Stage four is the appropriate time to upgrade
variable air volume (VAV) systems with
variable speed drives (VSDs), upgrade
constant air volume systems with VAV
systems, reduce fan system oversizing,
and replace existing motors with smaller
high-efficiency motors.
Improve Heating and Cooling Plants -
In the final stage, participants are ready to
replace or upgrade chillers, retrofit water pumps
and compressors with VSDs, replace electric
resistance heat where possible, and
comply with the 1996 CFC phase-
out regulations.

SAVING THE EARTH SAVING YOUR MONEY
Ihe EM-.IU.V SIAR label is quickly becoming
the symbol which identifies energy-efficient
products that prevent air pollution and save
money. Today there are over 500 manufacturers
that produce products and components which
meet the EPA's energy-efficiency guidelines and
therefore carrv the ENLRGY STAR label.
OFFICE EQUIPMENT
Personal computers were the first office
products to carry the ENI-RGY STAR label, but they
were quickly followed by computer monitors,
printers, copiers, and fax machines. The key
feature of all these office products is their ability,
with no loss in performance, to enter a low-
power "sleep" mode when not in use and to
awaken automatically when needed.
RESIDENTIAL PRODUCTS AND HOMES
Household energy use creates 35 percent of all
carbon dioxide, 75 percent of all sulfur dioxide,
and 38 percent of all nitrogen oxides emissions
in the United States. By using more energy-
efficient appliances and heating and cooling
equipment, and constructing more energy-
efficient homes, homeowners can reduce this
pollution - and save money at the same time.
Promoting ENERGY STAR
Office Equipment in
1995 Issues of National
Publications.
-------
Enthusiasm for the ENERGY STAR Buildings
program led EPA to work with manufacturers of
residential products to create a line of home
heating and cooling products that could also
carry the ENERGY STAR label. These products now
include programmable thermostats and a variety
of heating and air-conditioning systems.
Through the ENERGY STAR Homes program,
EPA has partnered with builders to produce
homes that use 30 percent less energy than
homes built to the latest Model Energy Code
(MEC). EPA currently has 64 building partners
who are committed to building more than
10,000 ENERGY STAR homes across the
United States.

Goal for the Year 2000:
Reduce Greenhouse Gas
Emissions by 7.5 Million Metric
Tons Annually.
With a successful track record behind
them, EPA predicts a bright future for the Green
Lights program. By the year 2000, EPA's target
is to increase the Green Lights program to 6,000
participants for a total annual energy savings
of 30.5 billion kilowatt-hours. The estimated
annual impact of fulfilling this goal is a 7.5
million metric ton reduction in greenhouse
emissions, which is equal to taking over one
million cars off U.S. highways or planting over
two million acres of trees - an area slightly larg-
er than Yellowstone National Park.
What does all this mean? A better place to
live and a big reward at the end of the rainbow.
