5. Organizations:LSI Logic and CelesticaLean and Green Benefit:Reduced lighting costs by 30% • Switching to energy-efficient lighting • Motion detectors • Low-energy fluorescent bulbs • Also, Agilent Technologies has employees use telephone keypads to adjust lights in their own work area according to five stages of illumination intensity

6. Organization:Texas InstrumentsLean and Green Benefit:45% reduction of energy per sq. ft. • Finding wasted energy in manufacturing and cafeteria spaces • Creating cold water or ice at night (when demand for energy is lower), storing in large tanks to cool buildings and processes during the day • This system triples cost savings • Local utility company gives TI cash rebate

7. Organization:Agilent Technologies (Scotland)Lean and Green Benefit:Saves 50,000 cubic meters of water each year • Men’s bathroom: urinals used to flush every 5 minutes 24 hours/day • Now flushing responds primarily to use, with automatic flushes programmed to be less frequent • Men’s and women’s bathrooms: Water per flush reduced • Closed-loop system for running water through chillers (ROI in > 1 year)

8. Agilent Technologies (Scotland) • Installed cooling, heating, and other equipment in a tunnel constructed underneath the parking lot • Energy savings • More attractive to surrounding community Harry w Reid

9. Organization:City of Santa MonicaLean and Green Benefit:Reduce urban heat by 15 degrees, with cost savings of nearly 90% • Light-colored surfaces on rooftops, reflecting heat away from buildings to keep them cool • Replaced black top with white top on streets • Stronger and only 2” thick • Lasts 50 years instead of 5 (costs just a little more to install)

11. Organization:Kyocera (Japan headquarters building)Lean and Green Benefit:Solar produces 12.5% of energy needs • World’s largest vertically installed solar-energy system on urban skyscraper • 1,392 solar panels on the south wall • 504 solar panels on the roof top • Reduced use of petroleum-based energy results in annual reductions of • 97.2 tons of carbon dioxide in the air • 133 kilograms of sulfur dioxide • 92 kilograms of nitrogen oxide
