In February 2006, NORPAC Foods, Inc. committed to Continuous Energy Improvement (CEI), a strategic energy management program pioneered by the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA). A team of NORPAC executives representing operations, engineering, and finance decided to implement NEEA’s CEI system at the company’s Brooks plant in Salem, Oregon. One year later, having documented the tangible advantages of managing energy, NORPAC began rolling out NEEA’s CEI system at its other five plants. The rest is history: proven—and significant—dollar savings as a direct result of strategic energy management.

Oregon Convention Center implemented capital energy-efficiency projects for several years before jumping into Strategic Energy Management with Energy Trust. They had slashed an estimated $331,447 from annual energy costs by upgrading to energy-efficient foodservice equipment and building controls. Shortly before participating in the initiative, the convention center also made several lighting improvements—replacing its 400-watt metal halide bulbs with 200-watt induction lighting and swapping hundreds of 250-watt quartz downlights for 14.6-watt LEDs.
