Department of the Treasury

The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing Western Currency Facility (WCF) implemented a short-term energy reduction strategy based on a DOE energy audit, making changes in operational procedures that reduced energy consumption by 9 percent annually. Some of the energy conservation measures included installing manual lighting timers in several building areas and changing lighting control system times so that only the minimum safe lighting required is provided during non-production hours.
