Wrap up 2012 with the top energy statistics from the year. It was a big year for energy efficiency with the ban of T12 fluorescent lights, the rise of natural gas, and the steady adoption of renewable energy. So here's a quick list of some of the top statistics of 2012: 96% increase in electricity […]

Is natural gas poised to overtake solar as the latest, most efficient renewable? That's the question that some analysts are asking especially since natural gas is becoming increasingly inexpensive and abundant. "The price of natural gas is at a 10-year low, and is roughly half of what it was this time last year due largely […]

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Energy Star program launched its annual National Building Competition: the Battle of the Buildings. A record 3,200 buildings from around the country go head to head to improve energy efficiency, and found out who can be the biggest energy loser this year. “Commercial buildings in the U.S. are responsible […]

Corporate sustainability is not for the weak of heart. In fact, making the switch to energy efficiency does take a certain amount of commitment to the project and its future benefits. But, that doesn’t mean it’s not possible. Here is a simple, straightforward and effective approach, developed by Yudelson Associates, to create corporate sustainability in […]

A new study from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) found that increased energy efficiency will contribute to a slowing of the annual growth rate of U.S. energy consumption for the next 20 years (which averages out to about 0.3 percent annually). The report laid out 30 different cases of how U.S. energy consumption will […]

Each month, Worldwide Energy features a client that we have worked with to showcase not only our portfolio, but also our client's business. Project Scope: Lukas Liquor had several goals in mind when upgrading their lighting fixtures. They wanted to increase utility and maintenance savings while creating the right light for certain areas, specifically the […]

A recent Pike Research report examined the global market landscape for energy efficiency retrofits in commercial and public buildings. It found that the global market will expand from $80.3 billion in 2011 to $151.8 billion by 2020. This makes sense because more and more businesses are looking to cost-effective ways to reduce its operating expenses, […]

Following the Department of Energy report on LED, the Smithsonian is getting in on the action as well. The historic museum recently retrofitted more LED lamps in their gallery, reducing their electricity costs from $2984 to $816 per year. The Smithsonian’s “incandescent lamps could not be replaced one-for-one, but the variety of LED lamps available […]

According to a Department of Energy report, LED lamps have an environmental edge over compact fluorescent lamps, and create a significantly lower environmental impact than incandescent lighting over the lifetime of the products. The study is just a part of a DOE project to assess the life-cycle costs of LED lighting products. It found that […]
