Columns ENERGY MANAGEMENT | 03/09 | ® Kaeser Announces ENERGY STAR Partnership Kaeser Compressors proudly announces its recent partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR program. This partnership reflects Kaeser’s belief in providing customers with the highest quality, most efficient compressed air products and optimized, energy-saving systems. With the help of ENERGY STAR, Americans saved about $16 billion on their 2007 energy bills while reducing greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those of 27 million vehicles. Kaeser intends to leverage its partnership with ENERGY STAR to communicate the importance of energy management to the industrial marketplace — and increase the national statistics for energy savings in the coming years. Kaeser prides itself on its long-standing commitment to the environment and energy management. An Allied Partner with the Department of Energy and an ISO 14001 Environmental certified company, Kaeser partnered with ENERGY STAR to further promote the importance of saving energy. “Our commitment to energy management extends beyond our products and services,” said General Manager and Executive Vice President Frank Mueller. “The design for our headquarters expansion includes many energy-saving elements, and our employees actively participate in energy and waste reduction programs.” The Kaeser headquarters expansion now underway in Fredericksburg, Virginia will include a Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO) roof to reflect sunlight rather than absorbing it like other types of roofs. The design also includes an efficient under-floor air distribution system and daylighting resulting in less energy required to heat, cool and illuminate the building. Current recycling and conservation programs are in place for batteries, cellular phones, computer equipment, electricity and more. “Environmental responsibility is everyone’s responsibility — and today I’m pleased Kaeser Compressors is taking this motto to heart,” said EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson. “By making smart energy choices, Kaeser Compressors is helping improve our nation’s energy and environmental outlook.” For more information on Kaeser’s commitment to energy management, please call 800-777-7873 or visit us at www.kaeser.com. www.airbestpractices.com “Kaeser is helping improve our nation’s energy and environmental outlook.” — EPA Administrator Stephen L.
