Campus Energy Cost Savings Case Studies: Applications of Energy Best Practices

Abstract

Global businesses continue to experience regular and significant
cost increases in energy costs. Most companies have established energy
and environmental sustainability commitments/policies which address
decreasing energy emissions and indirectly lower costs. At Armstrong,
a corporate goal was established in 2008 to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions 10% from 2006 baselines by the year 2015.
In 2009, Armstrong completed a greenhouse gas inventory third-
party verification from the established 2006 baseline year through 2008.
Our partnership with The Climate Registry assisted in ensuring mea-
surement accuracy. While the corporation had already surpassed the
2015 reduction goals, the achievement was largely a result of a de-
crease in manufacturing production tied to the overall downturn of
the economy. The company continues to be committed to projects that
decrease energy usage and our environmental impact.
