Energy Star® Partnership and Awards
Raytheon has actively participated in
the ENERGY STAR program since
joining in 1999. ENERGY STAR is a
joint program of the EPA and U.S.
Department of Energy that offers a
proven energy management strategy
that helps in measuring current
energy performance, setting goals,
tracking savings and rewarding
improvements. Raytheon received
a 2009 ENERGY STAR Award for
Sustained Excellence in Energy
Management on March 31, 2009,
at a ceremony in Washington, D.C.
The award is the highest honor
given to an ENERGY STAR partner.
Raytheon was recognized for its
successful strategies and programs
to reduce energy consumption,
improve energy efficiency and cut
greenhouse gas emissions. This
is the second consecutive year
Raytheon has received a Sustained
Excellence Award, and the fifth
time in nine years that Raytheon
has been recognized under the
ENERGY STAR program.
Renewable Energy
During 2008, Raytheon explored
"greening" our energy portfolio
through renewable energy sources
such as solar, wind, fuel cells and
geothermal heat pumps. Colorado
and Indiana facilities purchased
off-site green power in 2008, and
the company is evaluating options
for on-site renewable energy
projects in five other states. In June
of 2008, the Integrated Air Defense
Center in Andover, Mass., installed
a 100 kilowatt photovoltaic
rooftop system.
