Burbank Water and Power
Recognized for its residential "Torchiere Exchange Program" removing halogen floor lamps from local households and replacing them with energy-efficient fluorescent lamps, since torchiere lamps use energy inefficiently and represent a potential fire hazard. The program used video footage produced by the City of Burbank showcasing the dangers of halogen lights and helped its residential customers save an estimated 877 kilowatts annually.
