BSR Insight | Energy Savings Through BSR’s Energy Efficiency Partnership
Since the launch of BSR's Energy Efficiency Partnership (EEP) in 2010, member companies and their suppliers have developed a range of carbon-reducing, energy-efficiency projects--including in lighting, electrical motors and drives, and heating and cooling--that have achieved significant savings in energy (enough to power 1,000 flat screen televisions for more than 11 years*). Additionally, they have implemented systems to track savings made through existing programs. All told, 100 suppliers have counted savings of 100 million kilowatt hours since 2007. Building this knowledge of energy saved and effective practices helps EEP members and their suppliers manage energy usage in order to reduce carbon emissions, establish tools to measure and verify climate performance, and credibly communicate progress to investors. EEP is currently recruiting new members and has a member meeting scheduled for July 2012 in China. For more information, contact Ryan Schuchard. *Source: U.S. Department of Energy. An average flat screen TV has a wattage of 120w, (W x h)/1,000 = kWh consumption.
