Energy efficiency standards for Louisiana
- Commercial Food Service Equipment
As much as 80 percent of the $10 billion annual energy bill for the commercial food service sector does no useful work. Restaurants that invest strategically [in ENERGY STAR equipment] can cut utility costs 10 to 30 percent without sacrificing service, quality, style or comfort — while making significant contributions to a cleaner environment.

- EnergySmart Schools
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has released new lesson plans for teachers, parents, and community leaders to use in educating our nation's youngest energy users about the benefits of saving energy. These curricula can help teach children of any age about energy efficiency, but are especially beneficial to use in districts undergoing energy-saving upgrades. Energy-saving retrofits, LEED certification, and other projects at schools make great learning opportunities for the most important members of the school community—the students. Visit DOE's EnergySmart Schools web site to download grade-specific lesson plans and access tools and resources to teach about and help implement energy efficiency in your school.

- EnergySmart Hospitals
Hospitals are among the nation's most complex, diverse, and energy-intensive facilities.
Hospitals today find themselves at the nexus of two critical pressure-points: healthcare and energy, each with their own escalating restraints. To support hospitals in addressing both these challenging trends, the Department of Energy (DOE) has created a comprehensive initiative – EnergySmart Hospitals – and its centerpiece, the industry-driven Hospital Energy Alliance.
