Food Lion, LLC
Salisbury, North Carolina
Food Lion, LLC, part of the Delhaize Group, offers quality products in more than 1,200 stores in 11 states in the
Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. Reaching increasingly higher levels of energy efficiency becomes more challenging
each year, but Food Lion continues to achieve the mark. Since 2000, energy savings are now equal to the energy
needed to power 457 virtual Food Lion stores—as if 37 percent of the chain uses no energy at all. In 2006, energy
reductions totaled more than 2 percent and saved nearly $2.5 million. Every dollar saved in energy in the supermar-
ket industry equals nearly $31 in sales. For 2006, Food Lion's savings were equivalent to selling nearly $78 million
in grocery products.
Food Lion earned the ENERGY STAR designation for 200 more stores in 2006, bringing its total to 600 stores, or
about 50 percent of its portfolio. Food Lion also launched a deli department load control and associate energy aware-
ness program in 2006. Early indications are that on a per store basis, energy consumption in the deli was reduced by
an average of 8 percent. Food Lion also participated in the 2006 ENERGY STAR "Change a Light, Change the World"

Harriott
Marriott International, Inc.
Washington, District of Columbia
Marriott's energy management practices continue to save millions of dollars in energy costs while reducing green-
house gas emissions. In 2006, savings totaled almost $6 million. This equates to a reduction in operating costs of
$.10 per occupied room night and a nearly 2 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions per available room. This
achievement is moving Marriott closer to its Climate Leader goal of achieving a 6 percent per room reduction by 2010.
By the end of 2006, more than 90 Marriott properties had earned the ENERGY STAR label for top performance, and
nearly all its properties were rated on its energy use. Marriott's successful practices include promoting standard
operating procedures for energy efficiency. Examples include expansion of the Marriott Retro-Commissioning
process (MRCx) across the entire company, extending the Group Re-Lamp campaign that replaced 450,000 light bulbs
with compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs), installing Alternative Laundry Systems, replacing more than 6,500 HVAC
units with more efficient models, installing about 6,000 electronic digital thermostats, and introducing a company-
wide smoke-free policy that is expected to reduce energy use related to air circulation and purification by 30 percent.
Marriott also actively promotes its participation and success in the ENERGY STAR program, including coverage in the
company's annual report, a dedicated environmental Web page, and promotion of ENERGY STAR labeled properties
both onsite and through the online reservation system. In addition, upon winning the Partner of the Year Award in
2006, Marriott's CFO announced and explained this achievement during the second-quarter earnings call with finan-
cial analysts. Finally, ENERGY STAR is included as a component of Marriott's "Spirit to Serve in Action" communica-

ments in the commercial real estate industry, and delivering effective programs to help members meet the ENERGY
STAR Challenge—reducing energy use by 10 percent or more. In 2006, through the BOMA Foundation and in partner-
ship with ENERGY STAR, BOMA International developed the BOMA Energy Efficiency Program (BEEP). By illustrating
the value of energy efficiency, BEEP has helped spur an industry movement toward better energy management. In
this first year alone, BOMA International trained nearly 5,000 practitioners through BEEP. This innovative operational
excellence program trains commercial real estate practitioners on cost-effective strategies to reduce energy use in
commercial buildings. It also helps raise awareness for the importance of strategic energy management. Combining
Web-based training with in-person sessions, the program promotes industry standards for operational improvement,
provides recognition opportunities for successful energy efficiency initiatives, and focuses on the importance of
benchmarking and tracking energy use while finding ways to eliminate energy waste. BOMA International estimates
that practitioners representing 2 billion square feet of commercial space will adopt best practices as a result of
BEEP over the next few years. A 10 percent reduction in energy use for this space has the potential to result in $400
million in energy savings annually and a $5 billion increase in asset value. Through its energy efficiency programs,
BOMA International aims to reduce the commercial real estate industry's energy consumption and carbon emissions
by at least 10 percent annually, and will use EPA's energy performance rating system to help monitor progress toward
that goal.

activities into their daily lives. Georgia Power kicked off its 2006 promotion with an event for its 2,200 employees
that drew local media coverage and featured speakers from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Georgia's
Public Service Commission. Mass media outreach included TV, radio, print, Internet, and billboards, and Georgia
Power established cooperative promotions with other ENERGY STAR partners and local organizations yielding retail
events, sales training, and other high-visibility community events. Georgia Power drove "Change a Light, Change the
World" pledges and delivered energy efficiency messaging through bill inserts, Web site placements, press releases,
the employee newsletter, and a toll-free pledge line. Over the year, Georgia Power gave away more than 70,000 CFLs
to customers who turned in pledge cards at local offices, and its promotions delivered a 1,200 percent increase in
CFL sales.

Long Island Power Authority
Uniondale, New York
In 2006 the Long Island Power Authority (UPA) intensified the spotlight on ENERGY STAR qualified lighting through
a yearlong promotion centering on the ENERGY STAR "Change a Light, Change the World" campaign. The promo-
tion was supported by a unique and creative partnership between LIPA and the National Hockey League's New York
Islanders. Starting in the spring, with a tie-in to Earth Day, and running through the fall, LIPA conducted retail train-
ing, cooperative advertising, in-store promotions, and community events to support the campaign. Results included
more than 2.4 million impressions from cooperative advertising, more than 1,000 online pledges, and the sale of
more than 780,000 ENERGY STAR qualified compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) by area retailers. LIPA's 2006 cam-
paign could save customers tens of millions in lifetime electricity costs. In addition to these promotional efforts, LIPA
has laid the groundwork for an aggressive expansion of Home Performance with ENERGY STAR for its existing homes
market and ENERGY STAR New Homes program. A strong framework exists for both programs, which can now build
from LIPA's ENERGY STAR marketing campaigns to deliver even more energy savings to LIPA customers.

The National Energy Education Development Project
Manassas, Virginia
Dedicated to helping teachers and students understand the scientific, economic, and environmental impacts of
energy, the National Energy Education Development (NEED) Project brought the 2006 ENERGY STAR "Change a Light,
Change the World" campaign to teachers and students across the country. NEED created a guide to help teachers
take a leadership role in driving the campaign at the individual, school, community, state, and national levels. The
guide included lesson plan activities for home and school, examples of successful school programs, and a sample
pledge sheet. In addition, NEED arranged and participated in conferences, workshops, and teacher trainings nation-
ally, secured recognition at regional and national science teacher conferences, and published a newsletter that
reached 22,000 classrooms in 47 states. In 2006 more than 375 teachers participated directly in NEED events.

In the fourth quarter of 2006, the Northeast ENERGY STAR Lighting and Appliance Initiative sponsors implemented a
fully integrated advertising and marketing promotion supporting the national ENERGY STAR "Change a Light, Change
the World" campaign. Promotional events were held at more than 200 Shaw's Supermarkets, helping to get energy-
efficient bulbs into the stores that consumers shop in most frequently. The in-store promotions were accompanied
by radio advertising, grassroots events, viral outreach, online pledge hosting, and in-store materials. The promotion
yielded more than 19 million media impressions during the month of October alone, and the initiative secured almost
80,000 pledges during the campaign, with estimated savings of more than $2.2 million in energy costs and avoiding
release of 35 million pounds of greenhouse gases.
Bosch Home Appliances
Huntington, California
Bosch is recognized for its leadership in raising awareness about the environmental and economic benefits of
ENERGY STAR qualified appliances through its 2006 promotion "It Pays To Be Green," which ran from February to
June 2006. This promotion, which offers consumer rebates for ENERGY STAR qualified appliances, was so success-
ful that Bosch will repeat it annually as the "Annual Green Savings Event." The promotion is featured prominently
on the company's Web site, where, in addition to consumer information, Bosch provides resources to help builders,
architects, and designers understand the monetary and environmental benefits offered by installing ENERGY STAR
qualified products in new building and remodeling projects.

Nationwide Marketing Group
Winston-Salem, North Carolina
In 2006 the Nationwide Marketing Group (NMG) delivered ENERGY STAR to nearly 2,800 retail store owners and
their 30,000-strong sales staffs. NMG understands that ENERGY STAR helps consumers save money and energy
while protecting the environment and offers retailers a unique profit-building opportunity. Using solid relationships
and strong influence with multiple vendor partners and local and regional energy-efficiency program sponsors,
NMG set out to increase its members' knowledge of ENERGY STAR through consistent messaging and marketing.
In a dedicated presentation at its bi-annual "Prime Time!" trade show, NMG debuted the concept of "Independents
for Energy Independence." Through exclusive tools such as "Independent Thinking" magazine, the "Membernet
Intranet," special financial and service incentives, and free preprint circulars with themes such as "Trade in, Trade
up" and "Get Clean, Save Green," NMG retailers achieved ENERGY STAR sales penetrations as much as 11 percent
higher than national averages for refrigerators, clothes washers, and dishwashers. In a unique and compelling
national promotion that linked the savings of ENERGY STAR appliances and lighting, customers purchasing a suite
of GE Profile ENERGY STAR qualified appliances were given $500 rebates and 36 ENERGY STAR qualified compact
fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs), saving them as much as $2,000 in energy costs. Through these concerted efforts, NMG
and its vendor partners plan to continue working with ENERGY STAR to inform, educate, and stimulate sales while
protecting the environment in 2007 and beyond.
Rocky Mountain Power
Salt Lake City, Utah
Rocky Mountain Power operates PacifiCorp's Utah service territory and, in 2006, built aggressively on its newly
launched ENERGY STAR New Homes program with a comprehensive consumer education campaign on the benefits
of purchasing an energy-efficient new home. With targeted messaging informed by focus group research, the cam-
paign included TV, radio, and theater advertising; direct mail; and transit and billboard advertisements. Cooperative
grand opening events with builders culminated in an event that included a signed proclamation from Governor Jon
Huntsman, Jr., who declared May 19 as "ENERGY STAR Day" for Utah. As a result of its promotional efforts, Rocky
Mountain Power counts more than 1,750 new ENERGY STAR qualified homes, with resulting savings of nearly
3.5 million kWh, the equivalent of taking about 350 cars off the road for one year.

ENERGY STAR Award for Excellence in Appliance Retailing
Sears Holdings
Hoffman Estates, Illinois
For years, Sears Holdings has successfully developed new ENERGY STAR product offerings through the Kenmore
brand resulting in product breakthroughs in many major appliance categories. In 2006 Sears introduced products,
such as the top-loading Kenmore Elite Oasis, that met and exceeded the new, more stringent 2007 qualifications for
ENERGY STAR. Moreover, the company coupled these launches with superior ENERGY STAR sales associate train-
ing. As of November 2006, Sears reported sales of more than 3.7 million units of ENERGY STAR qualified products
worth more than $2.5 billion in sales—an increase of 4.6 percent over the previous year. It also generated approxi-
mately 39 billion impressions through advertising, direct mail, online media, in-store signage, and popular TV shows
such as "Extreme Makeover."

Special Recognition for Excellence in Lighting Retailing
Seattle
Lighting
Seattle Lighting
Seattle, Washington
Seattle Lighting is a Northwest lighting retailer with six outlets and is the largest distributor of decorative light-
ing fixtures in the region's residential building market. Since 2003 the company has been aggressively promoting
ENERGY STAR light fixtures and has seen its sales increase every year. In 2006 Seattle Lighting sold more than 6,700
ENERGY STAR light fixtures, representing a 250 percent surge in sales over the previous year. Adding to this accom-
plishment is the fact that most sales occurred without utility rebates, showing that Seattle Lighting staff truly under-
stand and can effectively promote the benefits of high-efficiency lighting to consumers. Complementing this effort in
the areas served by participating utilities, Seattle Lighting engaged in cooperative promotions with Seattle City Light,
Puget Sound Energy, Takoma Power, and the Snohomish County Public Utility District. For 2007 Seattle Lighting has
set even higher goals, and it expects to increase sales by at least another 100 percent, partially due to its adoption
of new lighting technology GU-24, "twist and lock lamps," that will bring down the cost and increase the supply of
new lighting fixtures.
