The Greening of the Teleport: How to Save Money and Impress Your Kids - 3pm in Room: Chesapeake G - I

Want to save hundreds of thousands of dollars and impress your kids at the same time? If you are responsible for satellite ground segment, you can do both at once by "going green". A typical teleport may have energy costs of $1 million per year, and energy prices continue to be unpredictable and rising. A 2009 benchmarking survey of three teleports in the US revealed the opportunity for energy cost savings of 20-40% from implementing short-term changes at minimal cost. The savings opportunity rises through planned retrofits with more energy efficient equipment and opportunities to offset costs with new revenue. And while saving you money, you just might be helping to save the planet. In this session, you will learn from energy efficiency experts and teleport executives what the opportunities are, how to get started and the best strategies to ensure meaningful results.
