Green Electrical Upgrades: A PowerfulOpportunity to Cut Cost in the IndustrialMarket

How Can Energy-efficient Electrical Products Improve the Bottom Linefor Industrial Customers?

This brochure is meant to be a primer on Green Electrical Products and Solutions that have

proven to reduce electrical consumption and commercial building operating costs. The

Manufacturers Council of the National Association of Electrical Distributors (NAED) presents

several categories of energy-efficient electrical solutions to consider. Hopefully your

organization and your customers will benefit from these suggestions.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), industry and manufacturing consume approximately 32% of all U.S. energy usage—more than transportation, residential, or commercial.So as energy costs spiral upward, plant MRO managers are seeking cost-effective solutions thatupgrade facilities and reduce energy costs.

Green Electrical Products have made a major impact as the annual U.S. market in green building products and services has grown from over $7 billion in 2005 to more than $12 billion in 2007.*

� DOE indicates energy systems account for roughly 80% of all industrial and manufacturingenergy usage.

� Industrial energy systems include: Motors, Pumps, Combustion, Steam, Process Heating, CombinedHeat and Power, and Compressed Air.

� Motors alone consume nearly 25% of all U.S. electricity consumption, and more than 60% of all industrial electricity.

� Nearly 40% of warehouse electricity is consumed by lighting.

This planning tool was developed for use by qualified professional electrical engineers, contractors, builders and architects involved in commercial constructionand renovation projects to help raise awareness of the many ways they can adopt electrical energy-saving solutions to help reduce electrical operating costs.

NAED member distributors can order quantities of this brochure for their customers by contacting NAED Customer Service by calling 888-791-2512, or online at customerservice@naed.org.

Electrical engineers, contractors, builders, architects, etc. can obtain brochures at participating NAED electrical distributors. To find an NAED-Approved electricaldistributor near you, go to www.naed.org and click on “Find A Member.”

Green Resources According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), eight Energy Intensive Industries—Aluminum, Chemical, Forest Products, Glass,Metal Casting, Mining, Petroleum Refining, and Steel— “account for a full 75% of industrial energy consumption and represent thelargest opportunity to increase energy efficiency in the industrial sector.” The Industrial Technologies Program operated by DOE’sEnergy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) offers programs designed to help plants reduce their energy requirements.

Organizations supporting Green Industrial Construction, Retrofit and Remodeling:

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE)—through itsIndustrial Technologies Program provides data, technical plant assessments, investments in technologies, and R&D.

Continental Automated Buildings Association (CABA)—non-profit association dedicated to promoting next generation technology in homes and buildings, especially integrated systems and home/building automation.

Green Building Initiative (GBI)—established Green Globes™ web-based program to streamline the process of apply-ing energy-efficient sustainable construction methods to Industrial buildings.

Sustainable Buildings Industry Council (SBIC)—non-profit organization established LEED® rating program, the oldest green building program and oversees LEED certification of green/sustainable buildings.

U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)—non-profit organization established LEED® rating program, the oldest greenbuilding program and oversees LEED certification of green/sustainable buildings.
