GREEN LIGHTS UPDATE, MAY 1993
Johnson Controls
in All Categories (cont'd from front cover)
Upgrade Work
Johnson Controls is currently sur-
veying and upgrading the lighting in
over 10 million square feet of its facil-
ities, and has already realized annual
savings of nearly $340,000. The com-
pany is also actively working with
Partners such as Amoco, Nike, Union
Camp, and Southwire, analyzing over
8 million square feet of facilities in
preparation for upgrades. In its work
with Amoco, Johnson Controls has
taken a comprehensive approach
that encompasses both technologi-
cal and financial considerations in
determining the best lighting systems
for the petroleum company.
Promotion of Green Lights
Johnson Controls has worked
to educate its employees about
Green Lights, and to raise public
awareness of energy efficiency. In
addition to announcing its Green
Lights partnership through an arti-
cle in its company newsletter Pride,
Johnson Controls was a sponsor of
NBC's "Environmental Showcase"
Green Lights feature, and has incor-
porated the Green Lights logo into
its advertising. Johnson Controls is
also actively recruiting Green Lights
Partners and has been one of Green
Lights' most ardent "champions."
Technical Innovation and Services
On the forefront of technical
innovation, Johnson Controls has
assisted EPA in developing the Deci-
sion Support System (DSS) software,
which enables Partners to easily
determine appropriate upgrades. The
company uses the DSS at its work-
shops and also has developed out-
standing educational materials and
other software to enable customers
to get the most for their money in
energy-efficient lighting investments.
Financing Upgrades
Finally, Johnson Controls has
worked to make it easier for cus-
tomers to finance upgrades. It offers
a full range of financing packages,
and assists customers in determin-
ing financial implications on differ-
ent lighting investment options. For
more information about its efforts to
support Green Lights, please con-

Distributor Ally
Program Kicks Into Gear
The Green Lights Distributor Ally Pro-
gram kicks oil'a new phase of Green Lights
by encouraging lighting distributors i<>
become Allies in the program. Memoran-
dums of Understanding (MOUs) have been
sent to lighting distributors nationwide to
enable them to join Green Lights. Any light-
ing distributor who can meet the qualifica-
tions detailed in the MOU is eligible to join,
and a tidal wave of new Allies is expected.
Lighting distributors, with their ubiqui-
tous presence in the lighting marketplace,
are a necessary part of getting energy-effi-
cient lighting technologies into the hands of
consumers. Green Lights has reached a level
of markel penetration among lighting man-
ufacturers and lighting management compa-
nies. In turn, this makes lighting distributors,
who are less concentrated in number than
the other two industries, important future
players in the Green Lights program.
Distributor Allies will make the same
basic commitment that other Allies make-
to survey their facilities and perform light-
ing upgrades in 90 percent of that space
where profitable, as well as publicixe the
benefits of Green Lights and energy-efficient
lighting. In addition. Distributor Allies must
make a commitment to include information
ab< nit Green Lights and energy-efficient light-
ing in their marketing and technical materi-
als. Distributor Allies are also responsible
for having at least one employee who is
knowledgeable in the areas of energy-effi-
cient lighting products, designs, specifica-
tions, and applications.
The National Association of Electrical
Distributors (NAEDJ and the National Asso-
ciation of Independent Lighting Distributors
(NA11.D) are helping spread the word about
the new Distributor Ally Program. NAED was
instrumental in helping to design and launch
the program, and has been working with
EPA on this effort since 1991. NAILD released
MOUs to its membership at its annual con-
vention in Las Vegas in March, and all other
distributors who have contacted EPA have
received MOUs directly from EPA. It is antic-
ipated that hundreds of lighting distributors
will ultimately make the Green Lights com-
mitment, and do their part t<> help prevent
pollution profitably.
For more information about the Green
Lights Distributor Ally Program, call the
Green Lights Ally Hotline at 202 293-4527,
or tax your questions to 202 223-9534.
Understanding
Green Lights
Many organizations ihat are con-
sidering joining the Green Lights
program often have questions about
participating in the program. This
issue and future issues of the Update'
will address some of these frequently
raised concerns so thai our readers
may get a better understanding of
how Green Lights can work for them.
Why should we join? Our orga-
nization has a well-developed,
well-publicized light ing/energy con-
servation program, and we have
completed an energy-efficient and
cost-effective upgrade, as required
by Green Lights.
HThe program is structured
so that if you are 80 percent
of the way to an efficient lighting

The First Indian Nation
Joins Green Lights
The Navajo Nation became the
first Indian nation to join EPA's
Green Lights program when the
Green Lights Memorandum of
Understanding was signed by Pres-
ident Peterson Zah on February 19,
1993. "We are proud to become a
Partner in Green Lights," says Zah.
"It is a program thai will help the
Navajo EPA Director Sadie Hoskie.
Navajo Nation save valuable energy
and leave .1 pristine environment for
our children."
The Nation currently occupies
over 16 million acres of space in
and around Window Rock, Arizona.
According to Anna Rondon, public
information officer for the Navajo
Nation, "1.8 million square feet of
office space in our Window Rock
headquarters will be upgraded, and
over 3,000 employees will bene-
fit. Five buildings have already been
surveyed, including the Nation's
tribal headquarters, the President's
office, the Division of Natural
Kesi Hirces building, and the Nation's
legislative branch headquarters."
Navajo EPA Director Sadie
Hoskie first heard about Green Lights
from Green Lights Ally Diversified
Energy Services, based in Albu-
querque, New Mexico. Convinced
that participation in Green Lights
could save as much as 50 percent
on the Nation's SI million animal
electric bills, Anna Rondon pre-
sented tribal legislation to the
Navajo Nation's Senate Oversight
Committees. These include the Bud-
get and Finance Committee, the Eco-
nomic Development Committee,
and the Intergovernmental Relations
Committee, which passed a resolu-
tion supporting her legislation,
Zah referred to the Navajo
Nation's participation in Green Lights
as a "commitment to energy effi-
ciency in fulfillment
of our duty to pro-
tect and preserve *|
the environment."
Green Lights Upgrade
Projects Reported in March
Green Lights would like to thank program participants who submitted implementation reports on lighting
upgrades during the month of March. Those organizations' Green Lights implementation directors also deserve
recognition as champions of the Green Lights program for initiating and implementing their company's efforts to
.i< liieve maximum lighting efficiency.

The Light Shines Brightly for a New
Generation of Energy-Efficient Consumers
In an effort to reach out to a new gent-r-
ation of energy-efficient opinion leaders,
Boston-based EPA Region I has rolled out a
number of initiatives designed to inform chil-
dren of all ages about the economic and envi-
ronmental benefits of energy-efficient lighting.
The first initiative is the "Adopt-a-School"
program, which focuses on Boston-area
schools. As part of the program, a teaching
module on energy efficiency is being devel-
oped for use by 30 EPA volunteers who reg-
ularly visit area schools. The module—which
will represent a comprehensive environmen-
tal curriculum for both EPA volunteers and
Boston-area teachers—will contain Green
Lights materials, including an information
request card that students can pass along to
their parents. "Parents use the cards to request
'Green' program information from F.l'A, which
they pass on to their companies. By filling out
these cards, interested parents and their asso-
ciates will be included in EPA's 'green' pro-
grams mailing list," says EPA Region I Green
Lights liaison Norm Willarcl.
To further inform Boston-area educators
about environmental issues, EPA invited over
150 teachers to the Wentworth Instiiute of
Technology for a daylong environmental
workshop. The workshop was a it ended by
EPA's assistant regional administrator, as well
.is the director of science programs for all
Boston-area public schools. It was such a suc-
cess that plans for similar events are currently
under way for Providence, RI; Portland, ME;
and Hartford, CT.
Finally, thanks to Norm Willarcl, Green
Lights is now lighting the imaginations of over
600,000 school-age children in 18,500 class-
rooms nationwide. The March I9()j edition of
KIND Neil's, a national publication published
by Kids In Nature's Defense clubs and aimed
at elementary school children across the coun-
try, invited every elementary school in the
United States to participate in a letter-writing
campaign to promote the Green Lights pro-
gram. Thanks to this project, requests for
Green Lights information are already arriving
at EPA headquarters in Washington, DC.
Willarcl notes thai these programs to edu-
cate school children about Green Lights are
beneficial because "in the long run, they'll
help a new generation of environmental lead-
ers shine ju.si a little bit brighter."
Environmentalists of all ages are spreading the word
about Green Lights. A group of KIND kids from a fourth-
grade class in Duluth, Minnesota wrote to companies across
the nation to seek their support for different environmental
programs. One student wrote to the president of a large food
scrrice corporation. The president passed on the letter to the
company's director of engineering—who is often in charge
of implementing lighting upgrades. The
engineering director then wrote to Green
Lights requesting more information.
With the help of people like the KIND
kids promoting Green Lights, the benefits
<>/ /iri'i'i'iiliiif> pollution at a profit are
catching on fast.

Giiiiiu'iil l')()2. Addi-
tionally, Green Lights is the focus
of articles in two employee newslet-
ters, J'ocusiH^ mi I'dcililk'x and
Mobil World, circulated to 70,000
employees. The articles detail Green
Lights' benefits to the environment,
the economy, and lighting quality
in the work place. According to Bill
Deihl, Mobil's general manager of
real estate and land development,
"By switching to energy-efficient
lighting at our Fairfax headquarters,
we'll save more than $100,000 a
year. This program is great. We
reduce costs and pollution and
demonstrate Mobil's commitment to
both the environment and good cor-
porate citizenship."

upgrade, you get full credit for what
you have already completed.
In addition, Green Lights com-
jfli'inciils an existing energy effi-
ciency program, it doesn't compete
with it. If your lighting upgrades are
exceptionally efficient, it will be evi-
dent from the survey, and you won't
be able to identify any further prof-
itable projects.
Nevertheless, quite a few com-
panies that have1 joined the program
thought they had installed the most
efficient lighting hardware avail-
able for their situations. They are
now finding they have missed some
very profitable opportunities. For
example, one company that has
had a lighting upgrade program for
over 5 years thought it wouldn't
benefit from Green Lights. How-
ever, Green Lights' technical staff
helped the company identify some
simple steps that would reduce
energy consumption by another
30-40 percent, without any loss of
lighting quality.
EPA wants to support organiza-
tions that have done what they can
to prevent pollution. By joining, you
can receive positive recognition for
your ongoing efforts, and continu-
ous up-to-date (echnical support for
your future upgrades. Green Lights
is here to help.

GREEN LIGHTS UPDATE, MAY 1993
New Specifier Report
Focuses on Parking Lot Luminaires
All Green Lights participants
have been mailed a copy of the lat-
est issue of Specifier Reports, which
addresses parking lot luminaires.
Like other Specifier Reports pro-
duced by the National Lighting Prod-
uct Information Program (NLPIP),
this report provides both general
information about the products, and
brand name listings of specific per-
formance data.
General Information
The report provides detailed
information about the various types
of luminaires, such as refractor, flat-
lensed, vertical downlight, and post-
top. The text characterizes each of
these luminaire types by their appli-
cations, light-distribution pattern,
and range of lamp wattages. In addi-
tion, the components of parking lot
luminaires are described, such as
the lamps, ballasts, reflectors, hous-
ings, lens materials, and gasketing.
This section concludes with discus-
sions about maintenance, controls,
and photometric reports.
Brand Name Data
The brand name data are pre-
sented in two tables. The first table
provides manufacturer-supplied
information about parking lot lumi-
naires, including: luminaire type,
reflector type, reflector finish, light-
distribution patterns available, lumi-
naire housing material, housing
finish, lens material options, rotat-
able optics (yes/no), gasketing
material, options for photoelectric
control, options for electrical quick-
disconnect, and whether tools are
needed for lamp replacement.
The second table provides the
results of an analysis on specific
applications of parking lot lumi-
naires. Participating manufacturers
provided their products' photomet-
ric data to NLPIP, which used the
data in a computer point-by-point
calculation program to determine
the illuminances created by the
luminaire. Specific luminaire prod-
ucts were evaluated in two standard
applications:
1. Using 150-watt, high-pressure,
sodium lamps at an 18-foot
mounting height.
2. Using 400-watt, high-pressure,
sodium lamps at a 30-foot
mounting height.
The results are tabulated by
product, showing horizontal illu-
minance (minimum, average, and
maximum footcandles) and unifor-
mity ratios.
Additional copies of this or any
other issue of Specifier Reports are
available for a nominal fee. Please
fax your request to the Lighting
Research Center at 518 276-2999.
A New Workshop Format
Provides New Learning Opportunities
Several new features have been
added to the upcoming Green Lights
Lighting Workshops. These improve-
ments are designed to help you get
the most out of the training sessions.
Study in Advance!
If you preregister for a work-
shop, you now have the opportu-
nity to request study materials in
advance of the 2-day training ses-
sions. Confirmed preregistrants may
also ask for the Lighting Upgrade
Manual, the Decision Support Sys-
tem (DSS) User Manual, and a
demonstration version of the DSS.
This "demo-DSS" contains all
of the analytical power of the of-
fice module, but limits the amount
of data that can be entered, as well
as the number of analyses that it
will perform.
Pass a Workshop Examination!
A multiple-choice, 100-question
examination will be given to all atten-
dees at the conclusion of each work-
shop. The objective of this exam is
to evaluate participants' ability to
develop and manage projects that
meet the terms of the Green Lights
Memorandum of Understanding.
This is an open-book test and
addresses topics covered during the
2-day workshop, including the Green
Lights program, lighting technolo-
gies and applications, Green Lights
analytical tools, and waste disposal.
All of the information needed to pass
the exam is found in the study mate-
rials and workshop lectures. To
increase your chances of passing, we

GREEN LIGHTS UPDATE, MAY 1993
Osram Sylvania Upgrade
Reflects Excellence in Lighting
The City of Baltimore continues
to be an active industrial and man-
ufacturing center. While this lends
the city an old-fashioned atmos-
phere, it is often at the expense of
its air. Because of this, any real effort
toward reducing air pollution in Bal-
timore is commendable, and a Green
Lights lighting upgrade is an effec-
tive way to help achieve pollution
prevention goals.
Last summer, Osram Sylvania
Inc. demonstrated its commitment to
a cleaner environment by upgrading
the lighting in its Baltimore office.
Although this upgrade involved only
5,000 square feet, it serves as an excel-
lent model for small office spaces that
are considering lighting upgrades.
The majority of the fixtures were
2x4's, with a few Ix8's, several incan-
descents, and three exit signs. All the
fluorescent lamps were either 40-watt
or 34-watt tubes. Most of the space
was (and still is) controlled with 11
manual switches; three previously
existing occupancy sensors were left
in place after the upgrade.
Osram Sylvania's upgrade is
interesting because it included a
number of different approaches. All
the 40-watt and 34-watt tubes were
removed. Twelve fixtures were out-
fitted with T8 lamps, reflectors, and
new electronic ballasts. Eleven more
fixtures were relamped with T8's and
ivbnllasted (again with electronic).
Seven new fixtures were installed
with T8's and electronic ballasts. Five
fixtures were delamped (from four
T12 40-watt tubes to two T8's) and
outfitted with reflectors. Three fix-
tures received new lenses or lou-
vers, and the three exit signs were
converted from incandescent to
compact fluorescent.
The total cost of the project was
$3,780. Energy cost savings per year
amount to almost $1,100. The light-
ing electricity savings is about 58
percent. That figure, coupled with
an internal rate of return of just under
29 percent, indicates maximized
energy savings and an upgrade that
can be classified OSRAM
as "excellent." SYLVANIA
Osram Sylvania Inc. (formerly GTE) recently completed an excellent upgrade in Balti-
more, Maryland. Although it upgraded only 5,000 square feet—a relatively small office space—
the lighting electricity savings is about 58 percent. In addition, with an internal rate of return
of 29 percent, this upgrade shows that even small office spaces can reap the benefits of energy-
efficient lighting.
The installation of new lenses and louvers (see photo at top and right) aids in the savings
of close to 14,000 kilowatt-hours annually and the reduction of almost 28,000 pounds of car-
bon dioxide from Baltimore's air each year.

GKI;I-:N LK,ins UPDATE, MAY 1993
Green Lights Membership
Roster Continues to Grow
The Green Lights program gained some
impressive new members in March and April.
New participants include the City of Cincin-
nati, Ohio; MBNA Corporation of Newark,
Delaware; and the Central Consolidated School
District of Kirtlancl, New Mexico.
The City of Cincinnati joined Green Lights
as the program's 28th Government Partner. The
city had already initiated a lighting upgrade
program in 55 of its 400 facilities before join-
ing Green Lights, Green Lights liaison Lloyd
Hardy says, According to Hardy, with the assis-
tance and expertise of Green Lights, (lie city
could expand its in-house efforts toward incor-
porating the rest of the public facilities admin-
istrated by the city. Hardy also notes that joining
Green Lights illustrates that the "city has become
more responsive to coordinating energy man-
agement with environmental issues" and rec-
ognizing "energy resource conservation as a
major issue for the future." Green Lights also
fits in with a community energy program man-
dated by the Cincinnati city manager's office.
For the Newark, Delaware-based commer-
cial bank MBNA Corporation, Green Lights is
"a natural fit," according to vice president and
Green Lights liaison Ken Hilbeck. "Through
our Masterpiece Earth environmental program,
we've always been very proactive from an envi-
ronmental and an energy conservation stand-
point." Like the City of Cincinnati, MBNA
implemented several energy-conservation pro-
jecis prior to joining Green Lights. MBNA Cor-
poration is currently experimenting with motion
sensors and compact fluorescents, and Hilbeck
observes that it makes sense to "add the MBNA
name to the list of Green Lights participants and
to put our weight behind this national program."
Green Lights liaison Stan Korte reports that
the Central Consolidated School District joined
Green Lights for two main reasons: "Great
potential for savings from upgrading our light-
ing, and the fact that we can help eliminate a
great amount of pollution." Korte's sentiments
echo that of many Green Lights participants.
"These are both important goals: preventing
pollution for humankind, and the money fac-
tor for economic purposes."

conservation program. How can we
benefit by joining Green Lights?
Most utilities am programs that
complement Green Lights.
But based on Green Lights' experi-
ence, utility programs often address
only a fraction of the savings possi-
ble. The Green Lights program is
more comprehensive than most util-
ity efforts.
Also, Green Lights provides
your organization with national and
local recognition for its pollution
prevention efforts.
This program looks like it
might be an administrative
burden. We don't have enough stall
to implement it.
l-'PA has developed a com-
puterized Decision Support
Systemto help you survey your facil-
ities rapidly and identify an appro-
priate upgrade package. In addition,
EPA limits reporting paperwork to a
one-page report per upgrade project.
Also, administrative expendi-
tures are factored into the costs of
the overall projects, so they are con-
sidered in the calculations of the
internal rate of return. If you can't
afford the cost of the project, it will
show up in the profitability tests for
the upgrades.
Some participants have found
it necessary to add or redirect staff
to manage the Green Lights imple-
mentation effort. This investment is
repaid through the profits from
energy-efficient lighting upgrades.
Typically, administrative costs are
a tiny fraction of overall pro-
ject costs.
Our company is too decen-
tralized. Headquarters can-
not commit the rest of the company,
such as subsidiary organizations or
regional facilities.
EPA encourages corporations
to join as a whole, but if this
is not possible, divisions and sub-
sidiaries with financial and opera-
tional control over their facilities are
welcome to become Partners inde-
pendent of their parent corporation.
EPA can help educate an orga-
nization's divisions and subsidiaries
by making a presentation at a
national meeting, or by mailing
Green Lights program materials to
a company's divisions.

Revised Directory
Brightens Financing Options
The latest Green Lights Financing Direc-
tory has arrived—complete with information
on over 200 new and revised financing pro-
grams. The Directory is a computerized data
base of available financial and technical
resources that addresses both energy-efficient
lighting and nonlighting projects, such as
building envelope measures and heating, ven-
tilating, and air-conclitioning systems.
Both utility incentives and third-party
financing resources are available in the
Directory. The utility incentives Directory
includes descriptions of commercial, indus-
trial, institutional, and residential programs.
The user may select information by location,
technologies, or utilities and may receive a
report on the utility programs that meet ihr
user's requirements,
The user can specify certain financing
products, including lease or lease/purchase
agreements, guaranteed savings contracts or
shared savings contracts, regions of the coun-
try or organization type, and can produce a
report of their available options.
The updated Financing Directory can be
downloaded from the Green Lights Electronic
Bulletin Board System at modem 202 775-
6671, or may be ordered from the Green Lights
Hotline by calling 202 775-6650.
Expanded Decision Support System
Includes Warehouses and Retail Spaces
The recently released Green Lights Deci-
sion Support System (GL/DSS) Version 2.0 soft-
ware can analyze energy-efficient lighting
options in warehouses and general-illumina-
tion retail spaces, l-'ormerly named GL/Office
Decision Support Software, the new program
now covers much more than offices.
GL/DSS supports survey and analysis of
warehouses and retail spaces through the use
of new building data forms and data entry
ibility; enhanced lighting calculations,
including a point-calculation method; and
analysis of the potential to reduce or replace
existing fixtures. The GL/DSS equipment data
base has been expanded to cover lighting
equipment applicable to warehouse and rciail
spaces, including 8-foot industrial and strip-
fluorescent fixtures, and open and enclosed
high-intensity-discharge fixtures.
The upgraded version retains GL/Office's
capability to support building surveys, rapidly
evaluate lighting options, and produce com-
prehensive financial and equipment reports for
recommended office upgrades. GL/DSS also
offers several other useful features. It improves
the analytical performance provided for offices,
and the net present value method has been
added to the financial reporting component.
In addition, a newly created executive sum-
mary report contains the highlights of a pro-
ject's financial results, energy impacts, pollution
prevention, and equipment purchases.
Users converting to GL/DSS from GL/Office
versions 1.0 or 1.10 will be able to preserve
building data and analytical reports developed
with GL/Office. GL/DSS will be distributed at
the Green Lights Lighting Upgrade Workshops
and to registered users of GL/Office versions
1.00 or 1.1 n.
Questions regarding GL/DSS should be
directed to the Green Lights Software Support
Hotline at 703 934-3150.

encourage you to become familiar
with the materials in advance. Those
who pass will be mailed a certificate
of achievement from EPA.
Become a Surveyor Ally!
Passing the Lighting Upgrade
Workshop exam is a prerequisite to
participation in the Surveyor Ally
Program. Surveyor Ally candidates
who pass the exam will be asked
to sign a Surveyor Ally Memoran-
dum of Understanding, which they
will receive in the mail shortly after
completing the 2-day workshop.
The Directory of Surveyor Allies,
which will be available both on the
Green Lights Electronic Bulletin
Board and in hard copy form
from the Green Lights Hotline at
202 775-6650, will be updated on a
monthly basis as signed agreements
are received by EPA.
Learn About DSS Version 2.Of
Workshop attendees now also
receive the recently released Version
2.0 of the DSS, which allows for
surveying and analyzing office/
commercial spaces, as well as ware-
house/retail spaces. If you attend a
workshop, you can get additional
training on this new software. But if
you are a registered DSS user, you
need not attend a workshop to
receive the software upgrade. Just
call the Technical Services Hotline at
202 862-1145.
If You Haven't Been to a
Workshop, You Don't Know
What You 're Missing!
This Update includes a Lighting
Upgrade Workshop registration form.
Please note that representatives from
Green Lights Partner organizations
and Surveyor Ally candidates are con-
firmed on a first-come, first-served
basis. Others are admitted as space
becomes available. So fax in your
form early at the fax number pro-
vided. If you have any questions
about the Lighting Upgrade Work-
shops, please contact the Technical
Information Hotline at 202 862-1145.
