PLDT's leadership

US EPA recognized the Philippines Long Distance Phone Company (PLDT) in June 2001 with an Award for Leadership in Energy Efficiency for developing a demonstration project to determine the feasibility of and savings from upgrading its commercial fluorescent fixtures. PLDT upgraded 40 Watt linear T12 lamps with magnetic ballasts to 32 Watt linear T8 lamps with high-frequency electronic ballasts. The project is saving almost 50,000 kWh per year and has taken only 2 years to recouperate the investment. PLDT has continued to upgrade more space and expects more savings. See more details in the PLDT Case Study (43KB|PDF).

The June 2001 PDOE-EPA Mini-Conference on Lighting
In June of 2001, the Philippine Department of Energy (PDOE) and US EPA hosted the Energy-Efficient Lighting Mini-Conference. This event brought together over more than 70 professionals and officials representing building owners, properties managers, energy services companies, utilities, lighting manufacturers and government agencies.

eeBuildings heard stories of new upgrades and business development resulting from contacts made at the Mini-Conference. We would like to hear more of your feedback so that we can organize similar conferences and workshops around the world. Contact us with your feedback.
