Energy Efficiency Initiatives
Success Stories Summary:
In Camden, AR, Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control implemented a building energy management system that uses software to control lighting and air conditioning. The system led to $209,124 in reduced costs and lowered demand for power, which resulted in a 2,332 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) avoidance. At Missiles and Fire Control in Orlando, Fla., lighting upgrades at the facility have saved $308,451 and a reduced demand for power resulted in a 2,511 metric tons of CO2 avoidance. In 2008, Lockheed Martin began operating its first biomass boiler system, a project that was initiated to reduce business costs and has yielded tremendous environmental benefits as well. Today, the biomass boiler system provides steam for heating and process needs at the 1.8-million-square-foot Lockheed Martin facility in Owego, NY. The system is expected to decrease the facility’s carbon output by 9,000 metric tons a year. At Lockheed Martin’s facility in Sunnyvale, CA, an on-site solar plant designed to reduce energy usage is expected to generate savings of 1.3 million kilowatt-hours of energy per year. As of July 2009, eight Lockheed Martin buildings have achieved the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)
Buildings summary:
Lockheed Martin has identified information technology as a tremendous opportunity for reducing energy usage. In the past two years, Lockheed Martin has embarked on a server virtualization program that saved the Corporation $1.2 million in business costs. By eliminating the use of 1,700 computing servers, Lockheed Martin saved more than 11 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, reducing carbon emissions by 7,000 metric tons. Lockheed Martin's strategies include: consolidating data centers; employing intelligent software to manage IT resource capacity; using Energy Star As of July 2009, eight Lockheed Martin buildings have achieved the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)
Internal Operations summary:
Lockheed Martin’s Energy Program sets energy management policy and tracks progress in improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions. The program manager works closely with facility operations managers to promote energy efficiency through employee education, improved maintenance practices, and capital investments. Lockheed Martin has invested more than $30 million since 2002 in capital improvements specifically targeted at increasing energy efficiency and lowering emissions, including through heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) upgrades, steam-powered turbine installations for electricity generation, and lighting.
