Removing Barriers to Energy Efficiency
Date: October 11, 2011
Time: 2pm ET
Call-in information: (760) 569-9000 , Code: 160031#

Sitar Mody from Environmental Defense Fund kicked off a conversation about how companies can reap immediate rewards through energy efficiency. She shared the latest results, and highlight useful case studies, from EDF's Climate Corps program. This past summer, Climate Corps worked with 78 companies, cities and universities around the country and uncovered efficiencies in lighting, computer equipment, and heating and cooling systems that could:

• Cut 600 million kilowatt hours of electricity use and 27 million therms of natural gas annually, equivalent to the annual energy use of 38,000 homes;
• Avoid 440,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually, equivalent to the annual emissions of 87,000 passenger vehicles; and
• Save $650 million in net operational costs over the project lifetimes.
