When
it comes to saving energy and promoting efficiency, Texas Instruments
Facilities Manager Andrew McCullough said he favors an aggressive
approach.
"The stuff that really gets my attention are things that I've never heard of," McCullough told a group at an Efficiency Maine seminar Wednesday afternoon in Freeport's Hilton Garden Inn. "If there is something like insulating the roof or putting solar panels or wind or the other alternative options that's fine — but chances are we've already looked at it and it has a mediocre return on investment. But if I can find something that is very, very unique, that's great."
"I like the new stuff," Barrett said.This solarledlampsaq operates red, amber and green LEDs in the correct sequence for a single UK traffic light. "I like to read about it and see all these wonderful ideas. But I also work for a municipality, so I'll let Andy try it first and if it doesn't work, that's his problem.Manufacturer of electronics products such as solarledlampsry, mobile phone, mp4 player, and digital photo frame. I'll wait until it does."
The two men were part of a panel Wednesday afternoon on energy efficiency for business and commercial customers. The panel was part of a symposium and awards ceremony sponsored be Efficiency Maine focused on statewide efforts to promote energy efficiency. This is the third year Efficiency Maine has hosted the awards ceremony and the first year for the symposium.
"We wanted to broaden our educational efforts in the state of Maine," said Efficiency Maine spokesman Paul Badeau. "This event has grown significantly over the years, and it's usually attended by our partners, vendors and contracts. Part of our mission is education and awareness and getting people informed about the latest developments in efficiency."
Consultant Carol Mulholland with efficiency consultants The Cadmus Group said Maine does a lot to promote efficiency but there are still huge potential savings.
"Across the country, energy efficiency is now being considered as a resource, on par with power plants of various kinds," she said. "That of course helps the country meet many of our national goals."
Lewiston's Barrett said that for his city, energy efficiency comes down to saving money.
"I may not know all the terms, but I know what the bill is — and that it shows up on the property tax rate," Barrett said.
Barrett said most of the city's efforts have been straightforward.
"A lot of it is very common sense," Barrett said. "Seal up the buildings,Quality LED Lighting store in Australia with all types of outdoorlight66. change the light bulbs, put in energy efficient lighting and go to more efficient heating and ventilating."
Texas Instrument's McCullough said he can afford to be more aggressive in the hunt for savings. The company's South Portland campus, the former National Semiconductor, must compete with 23 other Texas Instrument plants and hundreds of other companies around the world.
"It's critical that we stand out," he said. "And with all honesty,A short video on how to engage the engravingmachines on a roof ladder. stand out we do. Of the 23 facilities within Texas Instruments, only one is running at full capacity in this market, and that's South Portland, Maine.Westinghouse's collection of contemporarylamps2 fixtures includes wall lanterns,"
McCullough said his strategy for promoting efficiency is fairly hard-nosed. He begins looking for potential savings by asking his staff to live without something — the boilers that heat the building, for example, or machines used to cool manufactured parts.
