Individual EPA Laboratories' Net Energy Intensity Impacts for FY 2008
(Nets out green power purchases.)
This chart describes the impact of green power purchases, energy conservation projects, and recommissioning on individual EPA facilities’ net energy intensity in British thermal units per gross square foot (Btu/GSF) during FY 2008. No EPA laboratory is excluded from consideration for energy upgrades or green power purchases, regardless of its size. Energy-intensive laboratories are another focus of EPA's energy conservation efforts. When large laboratories are also energy-intensive, significant opportunities for energy conservation exist.
RTP, NC (New Page Rd.) offset all of its 47,055 Btu/GSF of conventional power with green power.Cincinnati (Child Development) used 47,905 Btu/GSF of conventional power and 23,171 Btu/GSF of green power.
