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.

ASE Purchases Renewable Energy Credits for New Office Space

Date: Nov 16, 2006

The Alliance and its design team worked diligently to include many energy-efficiency and environmentally friendly elements into its new office space.

The Alliance and its design team worked diligently to include many energy-efficiency and environmentally friendly elements into its new office space. We also decided to purchase Renewable Energy Credits (aka Tradable Renewable Credits or Green Tags) equal to 100% of our estimated electricity consumption for the next two years. The Alliance selected Windcurrent to provide us with Green-e certified renewable energy credits.

Energy Efficiency Impact on Industrial Steam Operations

Efficiency in industry can benifit steam operators
June 3, 2004

Low cost measures that lessen the impact of the natural gas shortage by cutting energy use by at least 10 percent.

U.S. industries that use steam systems can easily lessen the impact of the natural gas shortage and escalating prices with simple, low-cost measures that will cut their energy use by at least 10 percent. Even better, virtually all of the efficiency gain comes from techniques with a financial payback of two years or less. Each year, U.S. industry consumes approximately 17.9 quadrillion Btu (quads) of fuel, including 4.03 quads of natural gas for powerhouses that generate steam and electricity.
