Energy Management at Raytheon
Approximately 90 percent of
Raytheon's greenhouse gas emissions
result from energy consumption.
Therefore, energy conservation and
improved energy efficiency are key
elements in Raytheon's strategy to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Raytheon has had a strong energy
program for many years and
continually seeks improvements.
Since 2002, energy consumption per dollar of revenue at Raytheon's major locations has declined over 30 percent. Energy consumption is continually analyzed to identify reduction opportunities, and Raytheon has completed hundreds of energy conservation and efficiency projects. Metrics on energy consumption are collected and reported to company leaders on a regular basis.
The company has invested millions of dollars in its facility infrastructure in order to save energy and, thereby, reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. The projects have included high-efficiency lighting; variable speed drives for motors, pumps and fans; premium-efficiency motors; and state-of-the-art automated energy management and control systems. In 2008 alone, the company reduced its energy usage 9 percent, normalized for revenue, saving approximately $3 million in energy costs.
