Herman Miller's Energy Story
In recent years, Herman Miller has switched from the traditional incandescent light bulb to a more energy efficient L.E.D light bulb. Since this switch, the company has saved $2.5 million dollars.
Herman Miller's commitment to energy efficiency has led them to alternative energy sources, like wind farms. Although the alternative energy projects has been beneficial, Herman Miller is looking for more local energy solutions. One of the solutions they have created is to use the heat from their wood burning system to make steam, which is then used to power a turbine to create energy within their facilities.
Herman Miller is an innovative company looking for cost efficient and environmentally conscience energy saving techniques. In doing so, Herman Miller aims to help suppliers save energy as well.
One of the company's initiatives is to participate in the annual Earth Hour, which is a global movement to save energy. Herman Miller employees are asked to be conscience about their use of energy. For example, employees are asked to turn off any unneeded devices while working, which also carries over to their personal lives as well. By participating in Earth Hour, Herman Miller is helping to reduce it's carbon footprint, as well as the footprint of their employees.
Herman Miller welcomes all companies to their facilities to learn energy efficient methodologies to save money and to lessen their global carbon footprint.

Something To Take Home
One of the ideas that you could use at your workplace or residence is switching any incandescent light bulb to a more energy efficient LED light bulb. LEDs are one of today's most energy-efficient technologies. ENERGY STAR-qualified LEDs use only 20%–25% of the energy and last up to 25 times longer than the traditional incandescent bulbs they replace. LEDs use 25%–30% of the energy and last 8 to 25 times longer than halogen incandescents.
Currently, the Holland Board of Public Works is offering rebate incentives on any ENERGY STAR-qualified purchases for business and residential buildings. To learn more about these rebates, please visit http://www.hollandbpw.com/about-us/homerebates.
