Cinemark completed their Sconce Retrofit, moving from 68W to 4W bulbs in all theatres. The bulb swap is the latest in a long history of efficiency retrofits, dating back to the HVAC upgrades in 2001. Their efforts have saved 41,570,375 kWh and $4.4 million in the past year. 

    Danfoss is the recipient of the Innovative Star award for its Turbocor Compressor technology which is transforming the commercial HVAC market with innovative, oil-free variable speed compressors. Turbocor provides up to 35 percent energy savings annually and their Variable Twin Turbo (VTT) model provides efficiency for essential cooling technologies while meeting the latest American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) energy efficiency standards.
