Raytheon challenged its enterprise energy team to cut 2006 electricity consumption by 10%, and they responded by delivering over 11,000,000 kWh of energy savings, $1.5 million in cost savings and over 9 million pounds of CO2 reductions. The company organized the effort carefully and ran it through a core energy team, 300 employee energy champions and maintenance and infrastructure teams. These teams, with the help of SCE incentives, completed major upgrades to the HVAC system, replaced 80,000 light bulbs, upgraded lighting controls and improved the efficiency of motors and other systems. Raytheon has spread the efficiency message to all its employees and has been a leader in the state through its commitment to the California Energy Pledge, the EPA Climate Leaders program and as a 2007 ENERGY STAR partner of the year.
