The 5th Annual Flex Your Power Awards

NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory

Best Overall Award Winner

NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory

In 2006 NASA's Pasadena Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) completed a wide range of efficiency measures resulting in over 4,200,000 kWh in annual energy savings, $379,660 in cost savings and 3.3 million pounds of CO2 reduction. JPL worked closely with SCE's engineering staff to make major upgrades to HVAC, lighting and motor efficiency. JPL has entered into contracts for future SCE efficiency programs affecting new construction, retro-commissioning and industrial efficiency; these programs are expected to save an additional 6,000,000 kWh annually. JPL also uses a cutting edge demand response program that shifts nearly 1,500 kW to off-peak. Finally, JPL has an education program to spread efficiency information to employees and the public.
