  1. Targets of Opportunity Dan Ahern, Regional Pollution Prevention Program Manager, 404.562.9028, ahern.dan@epa.gov

  2. Costs Rising Natural Gas Retail Electricity Prices Crude Oil

  3. EIA-IEO 2006 Worldwide Appetite for Energy is Surging

  4. But, Times are Changing • Total net electricity consumption doubles • from 2003 to 2030. • 71% of that growth in developing • countries Source: EIA

  5. National Security?

  6. Sources: EIA 2004, ACEEE 2004 Use the 5th Fuel! Efficiency is the Least-Cost Solution

  7. What is Energy Star Avoluntary Program – established in 1991 by the EPA & DOE to achieve their bestin energy efficiency enablesorganizations of all types

  8. Timeline WHOLE BUILDING INITIATIVES ENERGY PERFORMANCE RATINGS Auto Manufacturing Office Buildings Retail New Homes Hospitals Hotels New Buildings Schools ‘90 ‘92 ‘94 ‘96 ‘98 ‘00 ‘02 ‘04 ‘05 Computers Faxes Copiers Mfgrs Scanners TVs VCRs Audio DVDs Power Supplies Printers Telephony Vent Fans Ceiling Fans Unitary HVAC C-Refrigeration Exit Signs Boilers Insulation CFLs Vending Air Cleaners Furnaces Thermostats Central Air Conditioners Air-Source Heat Pumps Gas Heat Pumps Geothermal Heat Pumps Dishwashers Refrigerators Room A/Cs Light fixtures Clothes washers Dehumidifiers Commercial Cooking Windows Roofing RETAIL/UTILITY INITIATIVES RED -- DOE-led product areas

  9. Utility Activities 30 States and 450 utilities as ES program sponsors Utility partners serve over half of all US households Brand & Product Brand awareness > 68% 8,000 partners across all sectors 50 product categories Over 2 billion products sold Commercial & Industrial 26,000+ rated buildings, 3,200 earned the label – 576 Mft^2 6 Industry focus sectors Homes 750,000 ES new homes built(12% of all new homes) 27,000 renovations with HP 25 sponsors A Menu of Opportunities

  10. Sam Nunn Atlanta Federal Center 2.4 Million ft^2 9th largest federal building in US EPA is largest tenant (25%) Energy Star 2005/2007

  11. Score: energy reduction needed 50 to 75: 29% reduction 62 to 75: 18% reduction 25 to 50: 27% reduction 25 to 75: 49% reduction Number of Buildings 25 50 75 100 1 47.4 125.5 232.1 172.9 537.2 EPR & Energy Intensity (kBtu/ft2-year) Worst Performers Best Performers Age of building and presence of efficient technologies - poor predictors of energy use.

  12. Real Programs with Real Results In 2006, Americans, with help of ENERGY STAR: Saved $14 billion on energy bills Prevented greenhouse gas emissions equal to 25 million cars (37 million metric tons of GHG emissions) Met 5% of the total 2006 electricity demand

  13. Sustainable – Green – Efficient Buildings You Can’t‘Be Green’ Unless You are Blue
