25-Year Retrospective and 2001 Annual Report

Creating an

Energy-Efficient World

ALLIANCE TO SAVE ENERGY

…the Alliance to Save Energy was born. Its birth was prompted by the energy crisis of the ‘70s.

The OPEC oil embargo.Resulting gasoline and heating oil shortages.

Long lines at gas stations.President Jimmy Carter in a cardigan urging Americans to conserve energy.

These searing images brought home to Americans our dependence on foreign oil

and our national security vulnerability.

Since then, exciting energy-efficient technologies promoted by the Alliance

have made great strides in reducing energy use and related business and homeowner energy bills while also benefiting the economy, environment,

and energy security.

Once again, much more searing images— the terrorist attacks of September 11 —

drive home the threat to our national security that stems from our dependence on foreign oil

from one of the more unstable areas of the world.

In the intervening years between these pivotal events, the Alliance has accomplished much —

now working in two dozen countries on five continents.Yet, much still remains to be done to stem unnecessary energy waste

in our businesses, homes, and vehiclesto create an energy-efficient world.

Please join with us.

Alliance To Save Energy2

The year was 1977. Roots mesmerized us. TheYankees trounced the Dodgers in the World Series. A first classstamp cost 13 cents. Disco feverswept the country. Anotherbanner year for the AmericanWay of Life. But not quite.Because three years earlier, the OPEC oil embargo exposedan embarrassing Achilles heel in the American Way: a perilousdependence on imported oil.Suddenly, in mile-long lineseverywhere, our mammothAmerican cars were queued up for hours at the pumps for a pauper’s ration of a fewgallons each.

That ugly energy crunch stungCharles Percy, Republicansenator from Illinois. “I was anartillery gunner in World War IIwhen America was underattack,” recalls Percy, “but Inever saw the American peopleso vulnerable as when thatembargo hit.” Ever since theembargo, Percy had beenworking on an idea to fight thatvulnerability. In 1977, he wasready to move on it. He called onfellow Senator Hubert Humphrey(D-Minn.), then seriously ailing,to ask his support from the otherside of the aisle. “Think it over,Hubert,” said Percy after he

described the idea. Humphreydidn’t wait. “Of course I’ll joinyou, Chuck. This may be thesingle most important thing wedo in our lifetime.”

That idea was not just anotherSenate committee or blue ribbonpanel. Rather, it was to create an “Alliance to Save Energy”—a novel breed of nongovern-mental animal. It would cutacross American life, drawing in government, business,consumers, and labor around a strategic elemental focus: the premise that national energysecurity is in everyone’s interest,and the smartest way to achieveit—all the more powerful for itssimplicity—is to “save energy.”This would be the organizationto research, originate, initiate,communicate, and advocatefresh ways to increase America’senergy independence. Percy andHumphrey would launch it asbipartisan co-chairs.

The next step was to bringbusiness on board. Percy, whoheaded Bell & Howell beforecoming to the Senate, knew howto work the business community.Percy packed this Board withhigh-profile, blue-chip corporateleaders—Henry Ford II of FordMotor, Thomas Watson, Jr. ofIBM, David Packard of Hewlett-Packard, and Thomas Murphy of General Motors. The first chair of the parallel Board ofAdvisors was Henry Kissinger,U.S. Secretary of State (’73-’77).

Fast-forward to 2002. It’s been a quarter century since Percy and Humphrey threwout the first ball. Over that time,the Alliance to Save Energy has racked up a reputation asthe place to go to when theissue is energy.

Small wonder. Ever since itskickoff, the Alliance has had astellar run of chairmen—all U.S.senators: Percy, H. John Heinz,Daniel Evans, Tim Wirth, and JeffBingaman. Currently the Allianceis chaired by Senator ByronDorgan (D-N.D.); its co-chair isDean Langford, who, for 18 yearsran OSRAM SYLVANIA, thenation’s leading energy-efficientlighting company. The Alliancehas also built a top-flight

staff—currently more than 60professionals and support staffworldwide—led since 1994 with unrelenting high energy by Alliance President David M.Nemtzow.

Over the years, the Alliancegradually found its one-of-a-kindshape: a hybrid that mirrors itsself-definition as an “alliance” of multiple constituents. It’s parttrade association, part edu-cational nonprofit, part coalition,and part think tank—withAlliance Associates that rangefrom more than 70 corporationsand trade associations to stateenergy organizations to researchgroups.

“But the real story of theAlliance,” says Nemtzow, “is the way our mission—savingenergy—has taken on a life and depth of its own,transforming as the worldaround it has transformed.”

Early on, the Alliance, joiningwith Harvard University,organized a major nationwideconference on energy policy atDumbarton Oaks in Georgetown,headlined by Saudi Oil MinisterSheikh Yamani. Early on too, theAlliance turned heads in the way it stepped onto the mediastage with its first message. In1978 on TV screens acrossAmerica, the dusty, empty imageof a Western ghost town poppedup, with an ominous message:“Let’s not blow it, America!” The messenger was movie actorGregory Peck, warning that if wedidn’t conserve our preciousresources of fossil fuel, Americacould turn into a ghost town.These Alliance TV spots landedmore than $100 million in freeairtime from the networks forthe “save energy” message.

That first simple statement ofthe Alliance cause—for the sakeof national security, saveenergy—hit a political bull’s eyein the late ’70s. But as the ‘70sgave way to the ’80s, thenation’s fuel gauge moved backtoward “full,” and the memoryof the OPEC oil embargo paled.And the new administration ofRonald Reagan nixed the notionof skimping on energy andturned off federal funding forenergy-saving demonstrationtechnologies to achieve energyindependence.

“But the strength of the Alliancewas its ability over time torespond to changing issues,”recalls Jim Wolf, executivedirector of the Alliance throughmost of the ’80s. Which is justwhat the Alliance did: modulatethe save-energy issue from

“energy independence” to “theeconomics of energy.”

Consistent with this message,then-Alliance Chair John Heinzspearheaded regulatory changesto shift a portion of federalenergy subsidies for low-incomehouseholds toward measures tomake those households moreenergy efficient. Heinz alsoshifted the energy debate to theeconomy—the threat of job lossas high-cost, energy-inefficientplants in America’s industrialheartland were losing theirformer competitive edge. “Theenergy politics of the Reaganyears meant that for a while weshrank in size,” recalls AllianceVice President Mark Hopkins,“but we grew in our focus onresearch and innovative cost-related energy programs. It wasa time of new thinking.”

Then came 1986, when oil pricesskidded from $30 to $12 abarrel. The argument of cost-saving economics in energyefficiency fell on deaf ears.About this time Senator TimWirth took over as Alliance chair,and under his leadership a freshstrategy emerged: to focus thecause on “smart energy”—namely, tapping technology tocreate products that not only eatup less energy and so saveenergy dollars, but also makethe home and the workplacemore comfortable, moreproductive, more efficient. It wasa smart spin on smart energy:Have your cake and eat it too!

To this end, the Alliance joinedforces with companies whosebusiness was precisely that: to improve our quality of lifewith energy-efficient productsand services—Whirlpool(appliances), Johns Manville(insulation), Fannie Mae(lending), Honeywell (controls),Andersen Corporation(windows), and Home Depot(home improvement). Throughthis partnership, the Allianceplayed a pivotal role in achievingsome great advances in sewingenergy efficiency into the

fabric of American life: energy-efficient building codes, energy-smart appliances, and managingdemand at electric and gas utilities.

This focus on smart energyproducts and systems wouldalso waken yet anotherdimension that had lain largelydormant in the save energycause: namely, that energy-efficient products not only savemoney by burning less energy todo a job, they also spew lesspollution into the environment.This benefit got little attention inthe world of the ‘70s but wasinescapable in the ‘80s aspollution from coal-fired powerplants condensed and fell asacid rain. And by the ’90s, thespecter of global climate changefrom fossil fuel carbon dioxideemissions transformed energypollution into a global issue.

In the forefront of those willingto recognize this fact publiclywas Alliance Chair Senator TimWirth—the first senator toconduct hearings on the newthreat of global climate change.And the Alliance joined rankswith the EnvironmentalProtection Agency and theDepartment of Energy inpromoting the Energy Starprogram, which helpsconsumers choose energy-efficient homes and appliances.

During the early ’90s, theAlliance also regularly appearedbefore Congress to advise onways to boost energy efficiencythrough federal energymanagement, efficientequipment, and energy-efficientbuilding codes. This sustainedAlliance legislative thrust playedan important role in the passageof the Energy Policy Act of 1992.

Widening concern about thedegrading global environmentwas also raising calls forsustainable development inAsia, Africa, Latin America, andparticularly in the republicsnewly released from theunraveled USSR. Energyefficiency would make economicsense for these countries, whoseeagerness to industrializethreatened even more pollutionand higher costs from their long-subsidized, aged, grosslyinefficient plants and energydistribution infrastructures. “We spotted this globalphenomenon,” says formerAlliance President (’91-’94) BillNitze, “as a window ofopportunity for the Alliance toexport the shared lessons wehad learned so well at home.”

Retrospective 5

The U.S. Agency for InternationalDevelopment (USAID) welcomedthe Alliance as a valuable newpartner in the world arena,bringing much-needed energy-efficiency expertise to bear onthis new notion of sustainabledevelopment.

And so, the Alliance launched its international operations,starting with a small initiative in Kaliningrad, Russia. Today,those operations extend to two dozen countries on fivecontinents, working with localgovernments, businesses, andconsumers. The Alliance bothadvises and delivers hands-onhelp in these countries todevelop national energy policies,set appliance standards, makepublic utilities energy efficient,and educate consumers on thepayoffs of energy efficiency. It also opens links betweenproducers of energy-efficientproducts and users ininternational markets.

A sampling of Allianceinternational program namesreflects the variety of theirreach: Sustainable Cities…Energy Efficiency IndustryPartnerships …Green Schools …Municipal Networks for EnergyEfficiency.

Back Again to 2002. Time now for a retrospective chatwith Alliance President DavidNemtzow in the Alliance’sWashington, D.C., headquarters—a miniworld itself of energy-smart lighting, office equipment,and appliances as well as ashowcase for energy-efficientproducts and technologies.

So, he is asked, how far has theAlliance come in its first quartercentury? “A long way,” heanswers, “in so many ways.We’ve become more sophis-ticated and effective politicallyand in our communications.We’ve grown the depth andrange of our programs with

business, with consumers. We’reshowing them that efficiency isthe quickest, cheapest, andcleanest energy choice.” TheAlliance now has an operatingbudget of $8 million a year.

Politically, the results arenoticeable. Reflecting on theAlliance’s effectiveness, ThomasR. Kuhn, president of the EdisonElectric Institute, said of theAlliance: “This is politics at itsbest; it’s business at its best; it’s community involvement at itsbest. It is indeed Washington at its best. . . ”

In communications, the Alliancereturned to the air in 1995 withan ongoing stream of award-winning PSAs on TV and radio.The Alliance’s humorous “StaticElectricity House” TV PSA wasfeatured on “Best Commercials”shows on CBS, ABC, and theBBC networks. But humor is onlyone tactic. Nowadays, whereverthe topic is energy, the Alliance’smessage of energy efficiency is apart of the dialogue.

September 11, 2001The events of that sorrowful dayushered in a new, resistantbreed of world-scale terrorismaimed at the Americanhomeland. With it, the issue ofnational security—and the risksof depending on foreign oil fromunstable regions of the world—returned to center stage inAmerican life. As the spirit ofNew York rose phoenix-like fromthe ashes, its governor, GeorgePataki, was the honored guestspeaker at the Alliance’s Eveningwith the Stars of EnergyEfficiency. His message: “In the21st century, energy security isnational security, and energyefficiency is the best way tobolster energy security.”

It is as if the theme of theAlliance’s original missionstatement, born of concern fornational security, has come fullcircle. But it’s not really that themission has changed over theyears, but rather has taken onmultiple voices, as called for bythe times. It’s been a quartercentury of hard work in raisingnational awareness of how

valuable energy efficiency is tothe quality of life and the futureof America—and now, of raisingthat awareness at the globallevel too. The fruit of that work isin the breadth of the companythe Alliance has kept over theseyears. A telling instance is theAlliance’s now annual AssociatesSummit on Energy Efficiency,which pulls together leadersfrom virtually every major sectorand constituency affected byenergy use, as well as publicofficials, and the media. Featuredspeakers in 2001 included

Energy Secretary SpencerAbraham, Senate Energy ChairJeff Bingaman, and former CIADirector James Woolsey.

The work never stops. It’s anunrelenting campaign to winminds and hearts worldwide—raising awareness of all we cando to create a more energy-efficient world. As Nemtzow putsit: “It’s not just a question of ussaving energy, but of energyefficiency saving us.”

What might a prominent lighting company do to mark its 100th anniversary

and contribute something of value to the nation?

That was the question OSRAM SYLVANIA CEO and Alliance Board Co-Chair Dean Langford

posed to Alliance executives.

The Alliance presented a number of options, contacted the White House,

and arranged a meeting with the National Park Service.

It was synchronicity.

Repairs were desperately needed to the Thomas Jefferson Memorial.Lighting needed to be redone.

There weren’t monies to do this.

In an ambitious private-public partnership, OSRAM SYLVANIA conducted a total relighting

of one of the nation’s most picturesque landmarks, contributing more than $800,000 to the National Park Foundation

as its gift to America.

Work was completed in 2001,the 200th anniversary of the inauguration of the third President of the United States.

New, efficient lighting technology developed by OSRAM SYLVANIA illuminates parts ofthe famous landmark for the first time.

It provides an enhanced viewing experience,improves visibility and safety,

and produces energy savings of 78 percent.

It’s a very fitting tribute to Jefferson: President, author of the Declaration of Independence,

and Renaissance man,who embodied enlightenment.

EnlighteningLegacy


All too often, Washington responds to deep-seated crises with quick fixes. But, twenty-five years ago,two dozen Senators and CEOs tackled the nation’s energy crisis by working on solutions not sound bites,on results not reputations, and on partnerships not politics. That is why 2002 is cause for congratu-lations and renewed pride as the Alliance to Save Energy celebrates its 25th anniversary.

Led by Republican Senator Charles Percy, business, consumer, labor and public leaders founded analliance dedicated to promoting energy efficiency worldwide to achieve a healthier economy, a cleanerenvironment, and – foremost in their minds at the time – enhanced energy security. They knew then, aswe all know today, that energy efficiency is the quickest, cheapest and cleanest response to our nation’senergy needs. This year alone, efficiency will provide more energy to our economy than any other energysource except for oil – in no small part thanks to the work of the Alliance.

Today we live in a world that is more inter-dependent than it was in 1977, but also for many, more fearful.Troubling developments in the past few years – from the power shortages in California to the deadlyinstability of the Middle East to the shocking changes in the global climate – remind us that our mostchallenging work lies ahead.

We salute the Alliance’s outstanding record of accomplishment and we thank the generous support of ourfriends and partners – including the energy efficiency and supply industries, philanthropic foundations,corporations, and government agencies. The Alliance remains an enduring institution – as committedtoday as it was in 1977 to solutions, results, and partnerships. We enter our next quarter century withthe firm conviction that, with your help, we will succeed.

Advocating for a More Energy-Efficient World

Though the President’s energy plan called

for energy efficiency, the Alliance felt it was too heavily

tilted toward production. The latest in energy policy and

politics can be found at www.ase.org/policy.

or 25 years, the Alliance to Save Energy has worked to

promote energy efficiency. Forging partnerships with

corporate, environmental, consumer, and governmental leaders,

the Alliance promotes better public policy, creates innovative

programs both in the United States and abroad, and

communicates its message to policymakers and the public.

An Alliance of Partners:

Advocating for BetterPublic PolicySince its inception, the Alliancehas sought out and collabor-ated with many AllianceAssociates and with otheradvocacy organizations.Together, these organizationsand the Alliance have sought to educate policymakers aboutthe importance of energyefficiency as a component of national energy policy. Every year, research providescompelling evidence thatenergy efficiency is thequickest, cheapest, andcleanest way the nation canrealize its goals of enhancingnational security, protecting the environment, andimproving prosperity.

National Energy LegislationIn 2001, Vice President DickCheney issued a new NationalEnergy Plan at the direction ofPresident George W. Bush.From the Alliance’s point of

view, the plan unwisely reliedon increased energy explora-tion and production – a supply-side approach – to solve thenation’s energy woes. With theleadership of outgoing AllianceChair Sen. Jeff Bingaman,incoming Chair Sen. ByronDorgan, and others, theAlliance secured the inclusionof a wide range of energy-efficiency policy provisions inboth the House and Senateversions of national energylegislation. Provisionsinclude a bevy of tax creditsfor the purchase of new energy-efficienthomes, upgrades toexisting homes, andenergy-efficientappliances andequipment, as well as improvements infederal energymanagement.

Increasing Investment in Energy EfficiencyEach year the Alliance encouragesfederal legislators to supportfunding for critical energy-efficiency programs in budgets for the U.S. Department of Energy(DOE), U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA), and U.S. Agency for InternationalDevelopment (USAID). In 2001,the Alliance worked closely withits Associates and a wide range ofother partners to blunt efforts by

when the 2002 DOE budgetincluded an 11 percent increasefor energy efficiency R&D andcontinued support of EnergyStar programs.

Researching Policy OptionsThroughout its 25 years, theAlliance has partnered withutilities, industries, and otherorganizations to preparereports documenting energyuse and cost and environmentalsavings from energy efficiency.Over the years, the Alliance hasproduced cutting-edge research

on industrial tax credits, marketpenetration, rate basing ofutility energy-efficiencyprograms, and alternativeenergy scenarios. In 2001, theAlliance analyzed ways toreduce carbon emissions in theindustrial sector—data to helpthe EPA weigh options forstemming industrial pollution.


If we think of energy efficiency

as an energy source, we see that

it’s the second largest source of

energy in the U.S. (after oil),

and the largest domestic source.

Unfortunately, energy efficiency

is often invisible, and few

politicians recognize energy

efficiency’s impact – never mind

its enormous potential.

Congress to provide incentives for

states to establish public benefit

funds. The funds would support the

Locking in EnergySavings for 100 Years Adoption of stringent energybuilding codes is one of thebest ways to ensure that homesare more affordable and costsavings are “locked in” abuilding for the next 100 years.For the past eight years, theBuilding Codes AssistanceProject (BCAP), co-sponsoredby the Alliance, the AmericanCouncil for an Energy-EfficientEconomy, and the NaturalResources Defense Council, hashelped more than 25 statesupgrade the energy-savingfeatures of their building codes.Last year, the Alliance andBCAP helped five states(including Pennsylvania, NewYork, and Texas, which togetherhouse one-sixth of the U.S.

population) adopt the newInternational EnergyConservation Code, while anumber of other statesupgraded their codes withAlliance help. The Alliancesalutes its many industrypartners, including the Alliancefor the Polyurethane Industry,Andersen Corporation,CertainTeed Corporation,Dow Chemical, Johns Manville,Knauf Fiber Glass, NorthAmerican InsulationManufacturers Association,Owens Corning, andPolyisocyanurate InsulationManufacturers Association. The Energy Foundation andDOE (through the PacificNorthwest National Laboratory)support BCAP.

Educating Childrenabout EfficiencyThe Green Schools programorganizes teams of teachers,custodians, administrators, and students to use energyefficiency as a project-basedlearning tool and as a wayschools can save money.In 2001 the Alliance helped tenLos Angeles schools average$14,600 in energy cost savings;recognizing our success, theCalifornia Public UtilitiesCommission, California Stateand Consumer Services Agency,and the San Diego RegionalEnergy Office are nowsupporting a major GreenSchools initiative. GreenSchools in Philadelphia,supported by the PennsylvaniaDepartment of EnvironmentalProtection and PennsylvaniaSustainable Development Fund,educated disadvantaged youngpeople and reduced schoolelectricity costs by 20percent. The Alliance’spartnership with New YorkState Energy Research andDevelopment Authoritycontinues to bring savings toschools in Buffalo, while itsnew partnership with DOE’sRebuild American Program is

Opening the Door toMore Efficient WindowsFor the past four years, theEfficient Windows Collaborative(EWC) has educated bothconsumers and businesses aboutthe benefits of selecting energy-efficient windows. In 2001, EWC increased media coverageand promoted its web site,www.efficientwindows.org,which boasted more than325,000 visits. The EWC alsotook its message to China byembarking on a project to makeenergy-efficient windows a part of China’s building code.The EWC partners withLawrence Berkeley NationalLaboratory and is supportedthrough a grant from DOE’sOffice of Building Technologies.It enjoys strong support in thewindows industry – from AFG Industries, AndersenCorporation, Cardinal GlassIndustries, CertainTeedCorporation, and Great LakesWindow, Inc. — and worksclosely with the MidwestEnergy Efficiency Allianceand Pacific Gas and Electric Company.

Encouraging theGovernment to ‘Lead by Example’For more than a decade, theAlliance has strongly advocatedthe need to reduce energywaste in federal facilities.Through its involvement in thepassage of the Energy PolicyAct of 1992, the Alliance helpedto set stringent energy-

efficiency goals and create aframework to enable privateenergy service companies toinvest in federal efficiencyprojects. Federal energy-efficiency efforts are savingtaxpayers hundred of millionsof dollars annually in reducedenergy costs.

In 1999, executives from 50leading energy-efficiencycompanies formed theAlliance’s Federal EnergyProductivity Task Force. Manyof the recommendations fromthe Task Force’s comprehensivereport on federal energy usebecame part of a recentExecutive Order on federalenergy saving. Alliance effortsare supported by DOE’s FederalEnergy Management Programand the contributions of

Alliance Associates, especiallythe EPS Capital Corporation,Honeywell, Johnson ControlsInc., North American InsulationManufacturers Association,Polyisocyranurate InsulationManufacturers Association, andSempra Energy.

Helping Industry DoWell by Doing GoodThe Alliance is committed tohelping industry takeadvantage of the latest cost-effective, energy-savingtechnologies and managementpractices to improve economicproductivity and the bottomline. The DOE’s Office ofIndustrial Technologies aids theAlliance in this mission throughthe BestPractices SteamProgram, which helpsmanufacturers become moreaware of the environmental and

The Alliance, incollaboration with Oak RidgeNational Laboratory, leveragesthe involvement of theAssociation of EnergyEngineers, Gas TechnologyInstitute, National InsulationAssociation, Ontario PowerGeneration, and steam industryproduct and service providerssuch as ArmstrongInternational, Inc., theNational Insulation Association,North American InsulationManufacturers Association,Spirax Sarco, and Swagelok.The Alliance Industrial Programdelivers its message viaSteaming Ahead, an e-mailnewsletter, as well as acompanion web site,www.steamingahead.org,workshops and seminarsaround the country, and tradepress articles. In addition, the Alliance recently partneredwith the State of Marylandto create an industrial energyinformation clearinghouse.

Providing LocalSolutions to a GlobalChallenge While plenty of energy waste inthe United States still needs tobe eliminated, in transitionaland developing countries theproblem is almostoverwhelming.

The Alliance is translating its 25years of experience inimplementing energy efficiencyinto the native tongues ofefficiency advocates in twodozen countries across fivecontinents. The Alliance acts in four distinct ways: craftingenergy-efficiency policy,communicating the energy-efficiency message, providingprogram implementationassistance, and securingfinancial resources.

Educating Consumersabout the LatestTechnologiesBecause of the Alliance’s longrelationships with companiesthat market energy-efficientproducts and services,partnerships are often the bestway to educate potentialcustomers about the benefits ofenergy-efficient technologies.Since 1995, the EnergyEfficiency Industry Partnership(EEIP) has educated more than3,300 municipal, industrial, andcommercial energy managers,and more than $6 million inenergy efficiency-projects havedirectly resulted from theprogram. Key business partnersinclude ABB, Aerco, AndersenCorporation, ArmstrongInternational, ASI Controls,Baldor, Calmac ManufacturingCorporation, Carrier, Danfoss,ECR International, E-Mon LP,Honeywell, Johns Manville,Johnson Controls, OSRAMSYLVANIA, Owens Corning,Philips, Pneumatech, Rockwell,Spirax Sarco, Swagelok, Trane,and York.

In 2001, the EEIP organizedworkshops in six countries—Brazil, China, Ghana, India,Mexico, and Thailand—ontopics that included energy-efficiency project finance,window efficiency, industrialsteam efficiency, energybenchmarking for industry,certification of energy servicescompanies, water systemefficiency, and energy servicecompany business planning.The EEIP is supported by U.S.DOE through the Export Councilfor Energy Efficiency, USAID,and the US-Asia EnvironmentalPartnership.

Bangkok, Thailand — The EEIP helped to create the Thai Energy EfficiencyDevelopment Association,comprised of several dozencompanies developingThailand’s energy efficiencymarket, and helped develop a $50 million governmentenergy efficiency fund.

Improving the SocialClimate to EnsureStability The collapse of communismand the planned economies ofCentral and Eastern Europe leftmassive energy waste andpollution in their wake. Formost of a decade, the Alliance

has been working withpartners, such as Honeywelland Danfoss, to demonstratehow energy efficiency can helpto solve this massive problem.Alliance efforts are supportedby the USAID through itsBureau for Europe and Eurasiaand local missions in Armenia,Moldova, and Serbia; the U.S.DOE; and the UN Foundationthrough the United NationsEconomic Commission forEurope.

To support the adoption ofenergy efficiency in municipalgovernments and districtheating systems, the Alliancecreated the Municipal Networkfor Energy Efficiency (MUNEE),which develops policy analysisand options and disseminatesinformation about what hasbeen successful in otherlocales. To this end, the MUNEEweb site (www.munee.org orwww.ase.org.yu) isavailable

in six languages. MUNEEpartners include TheInternational Institute forEnergy Conservation, PacificNorthwest National Laboratory,APER in Romania, ARENA-ECOin Ukraine, CENEf in Russia,EnEffect in Bulgaria, FEWE inPoland, SEVEn in the CzechRepublic, and the LithuanianEnergy Institute.

Belgrade, Serbia—Follow-ing the end of the recentconflict, the Alliance was the first energy-efficiencyorganization to enter war-torn Serbia, only to find aneconomy flat on its back, its energy sector in disarray.Over the past year, theAlliance has helpedweatherize thousands ofhomes and has launched astudent educationprogram,

Lviv, Ukraine — Afterdemonstrating how energy-efficiency improvementscould reduce energy use byone-third in a local schooland helping the city audit itsother schools, the Alliancedisseminated the experienceto six other Ukrainian cities.

Increasing Access to Clean and Affordable WaterSome estimate that the deliveryand treatment of waterconsumes up to 7 percent ofthe world’s energy resources—equal to the energy used by

Japan and Taiwan combined.There is a huge potential forenergy cost savings in waterdelivery through improvedenergy efficiency and energymanagement. The Alliance’sWatergy Program helpsmunicipal water companiesidentify comprehensiveopportunities, secure financing,install advanced technologies,and manage their systemsmore efficiently. The Alliance issupported by the U.S.-AsiaEnvironmental Partnership andUSAID’s Office of Energy,Environment and Technology.

Indore, India—The Allianceworked with the city’s mayorto establish an energymanagement team thatquickly identified more than$100,000 in energy-efficiencysavings; the city budget nowcontains a line item forenergy-efficiency activities.

Fortaleza, Brazil—In the midst of a drought, the Alliance has helped thelocal water utility secure a

$1.8 million World Bank loanto pay for energy-savingmeasures to reduce itselectricity demand by 8 megaWatts, therebyhelping to ease Brazil’srecent electricity shortages.

Helping People Achievea Better Quality of Life One of the best ways to improveenergy efficiency is by creatingenergy-efficiency standards forappliances and equipment. TheAlliance, in partnership with theInternational Institute forEnergy Conservation andLawrence Berkeley NationalLaboratory, created theCollaborative Labeling andAppliance Standards Program(CLASP) to provide technicalassistance to countries that wishto establish energy-savingstandards: www.clasponline.com.The project is supported by theUSAID’s Office of Energy andInformation Technology and theUN Foundation through theUnited Nations Department ofEconomic and Social Affairs.

Accra, Ghana—The Allianceworked closely with theGhana Energy Foundation,which it helped to foundseveral years ago. Thefoundation assisted in thecreation of a room airconditioner energy standard,which will save consumers$8 million a year andeliminate the need for 29 megaWatts of generatingcapacity.

“I LOVE this commercial. One of

the funniest spots I’ve ever seen.

First time I saw it, I was dozing on

the couch, woke up thinking for a

moment that it was serious. What

a great idea: using static

electricity. Of course, I then

realized it was a very clever spoof.

Thanks for a good laugh plus

valuable information.”

Bringing ‘Home’ the Message

The Alliance reached not onlynational decision makers, butalso millions of consumersthrough TV appearances onnetworks ranging from ABC andCNN to Fox News and BET ...articles and interviews rangingfrom Ladies’ Home Journal andKiplinger Personal Finance toWired and National Journal ...from AP and UPI to KnightRidder and Scripps Howard ...from radio networks to dozensof local stations ... from websearch engines to media andother web sites ... from TheWashington Post, The New YorkTimes, and The Wall StreetJournal to the San Jose MercuryNews, the Los Angeles Times,and the Detroit Free Press, aswell as the trade press.

Hitting the AirwavesNationwideThe Alliance has returned to itsroots — in its early days, itcreated a highly successfulcampaign, “Don’t Blow It,America,” with Gregory Peck asits TV spokesperson. In 2001,

the Alliance launched anotherpublic service advertisingcampaign with the humorous,award-winning “StaticElectricity House” televisionspot, garnering millions ofdollars in free airtime on localTV stations as well as the ABC,CBS, and BBC networks, CNNAirport Network, CNN HeadlineNews, and other cablenetworks. The spot was ratedthe #2 greatest commercial inthe world by CBS-TV in theprime-time program World’sGreatest Commercials. Also, inpartnership with New YorkState Energy Research andDevelopment Authority, theAlliance conducted anelectricity reliability mediacampaign that helped reduceNew York state’s electricity use and installed 41,000 EnergyStar room air conditioners inplace of inefficient units in2001, and more than 150,000 in 2002.

Connecting Consumersto Credible InformationThe Alliance’s web site—www.ase.org— is a wellspringof valuable information and isdrawing more visitors from theUnited States and more thantwo dozen other countries. TheAlliance’s monthly electronicnewsletter, e-FFICIENCY NEWS,provides 18,500 subscriberswith the latest news aboutenergy efficiency:www.ase.org/e-FFICIENCY.Through partnerships with theU.S. Consumer InformationCenter and Washington Gas,the Alliance has distributedtens of thousands of copies ofits consumer booklet,Power$mart:Easy Tipsto SaveMoneyand thePlanet.

hen the Alliance was founded, energy news dominated

the headlines. In 2001, energy issues were once again on

the front burner, and the Alliance made sure that energy efficiency

figured significantly in the media’s coverage of the debate.
