In 2006 Boeing created an energy team to cut consumption at their Long Beach West Airport Facility. This team of experts has completed 46 energy saving projects that saved Boeing $1,440,676 in 2007. The electricity savings for 2007 were an impressive 10,795,608 kWh, or 22.1%. Projects included automated control of the tooling task lighting, world class controls on a new energy efficient chiller installation, right sizing the plants compressed air supply, chilled water control optimization and reduction of energy used for paint operations. With SCE rebates the payback for these projects averaged a short 9 months and the facility will reduce GHG emissions by 8.6 million pounds.
