Businesses can improve productivity as well as the bottom line by taking advantage of energy efficiency in office buildings as well as through production processes.

Taking Actions to Become Efficient

Industry surveys indicate that, mainly through procedural and behavioral changes, the average plant can reduce its energy consumption by 10 to 20 percent. Many companies are joining in to do their part in becoming energy efficient.

At the Alliance, we provide numerous forums for the business community to showcase the work it is doing to be energy efficient. Representatives from the business community share their firsthand experiences with implementing energy efficiency throughout their business practices at the Alliance's many speaking engagements, including our annual Great Energy Efficiency Day; Evening with the Stars of Energy Efficiency Awards Dinner; and international energy efficiency conference, EE Global.

On June 26, 2009 the House of Representatives passed the American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACES) of 2009, a combined energy and climate bill representing our first real chance for a national carbon reduction plan in the United States. The bill combines standards and incentives to promote clean energy and energy efficiency technologies with a firm cap on greenhouse gas emissions. The Alliance will continue to work to obtain Senate passage of strong climate legislation.

Friday’s passage of the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (H.R. 2454) by the U.S. House of Representatives demonstrates America’s resolve to address the climate change challenges and build a new cleaner energy economy with a foundation of energy efficiency. And, EPA has reported that energy efficiency policies and programs in this sweeping legislation, will actually lower household energy bills over the next two decades! The Alliance will work to further improve the energy efficiency provisions as the bill moves through the Senate, but in the meantime, we applaud the House for passing this landmark legislation.

Washington, D.C., June 26, 2009 – Hidden in the voluminous American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (H.R. 2454) are cost-effective energy efficiency provisions that are the “golden keys” to addressing the nation’s most pressing economic and environmental concerns, the Alliance to Save Energy said today.
