By installing a CHP system designed to meet the thermal and electrical base loads of a facility, CHP can greatly increase the facility's operational efficiency and decrease energy costs.
The Partnership works closely with energy users, the CHP industry, state and local governments, and other clean energy stakeholders to facilitate the development of new projects and to promote their environmental and economic benefits. Community-Based Childhood Asthma Programs.
The Community-Based Childhood Asthma Program is a voluntary public-health outreach program designed to reduce adverse health outcomes and the economic burden due to asthma by promoting best practices, which integrate control of environmental triggers as a component of comprehensive asthma management. The Program helps people with asthma, and their families manage environmental triggers in their homes; reduces children's exposure to indoor asthma triggers at schools and day care centers; and promotes the control of environmental triggers in conjunction with medical treatment as a component of a comprehensive asthma management plan.
Department of Energy that helps American businesses and consumers save money and protect the environment by investing in energy efficient products and practices. Through the ENERGY STAR program, EPA has partnered with thousands of organizations across the residential, commercial and industrial sectors to increase the sales of energy efficient products bearing the ENERGY STAR label, raise energy efficiency standards for new home construction and existing home renovations, and improve the efficiency of commercial and industrial facilities through strategic energy management practices.
Green Power Partnership The Green Power Partnership is a voluntary program that encourages organizations to buy green power as a way to reduce the environmental impacts associated with purchased electricity use. Purchasing electricity that is generated from clean, renewable resources such as solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, and low-impact hydro facilities is one of the easiest ways for an organization to reduce the environmental impact of its electricity use. Through the program, EPA provides partners with expert advice, tools and resources, and opportunities for recognition.
Working with SAE, EPA created a work group that has developed a set of draft voluntary protocols that will turn racing into a laboratory for energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gasses and auto emissions without slowing the cars or spoiling the sport. These partnerships involve various industries that are developing cost-effective improvements in their industrial processes to reduce emissions of perfluorocarbons PFCs , hydrofluorocarbons HFCs , and sulfur hexafluoride SF6 - all particularly potent greenhouse gases.
Labs 21 Labs 21 is a voluntary program that saves money at laboratories while improving our environment. Laboratories require tens of millions of dollars worth of energy to run and add tens of thousands of pounds of pollution to our air, soil and water. EPA and the US Department of Energy are helping new and retrofitted laboratories cut their energy costs and reduce environmental damage.

Further reductions in power plant pollution have been achieved by state and EPA efforts to cut interstate air pollution, achieving additional public health benefits and helping downwind states meet health-based air quality standards for fine particles and ozone.
HFCs are greenhouse gases which can have warming impacts hundreds to thousands of times more potent than carbon dioxide. Under the amendment, countries committed to cut the production and consumption of HFCs by more than 80 percent over the next 30 years. III, E. Majid, and D. Dockery, For the latest information about reducing air toxics, see the webpage, Reducing Emissions of Hazardous Air Pollutants.
EPA, , using the subset of benzene monitoring stations that have sufficient data to assess trends since Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks; Skip to main content. Clean Air Act Overview. Contact Us. The Clean Air Act has a proven record of public health and environmental protection since Experience with the Clean Air Act since has shown that protecting public health and building the economy can go hand in hand.
Clean Air Act programs have lowered levels of six common pollutants -- particles, ozone, lead, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide -- as well as numerous toxic pollutants.
