What would you rather die from?
1) Climate change?
2) Oil wars?
3) Nuclear holocaust?
The right answer – often left out – is
4) None of the above
Let’s use energy in a way that saves money,
because that will solve the climate, oil and
proliferation problems – not at a cost, but at a
profit…

A sustainable system delivers services without exhausting resources. It uses
all resources efficiently in both an environmental and economic sense.

TI’s Path to Sustainability
• Resource Conservation
– Recycling: TI has decades of experience in recycling, currently recycling
almost 90 percent of its non-industrial waste worldwide
– Water Reuse: Extensive water reuse and reclamation practices are in
place – about 1.5 billion gallons annually
– Product Stewardship: TI produced its first lead-free semiconductor
component in 1989. More than 30 billion lead-free TI components are in
products worldwide
– Green Buildings: Substantial annual budget for new and retrofitted
buildings across the globe.
– Employee Trip Reduction: This program keeps hundreds of cars off the
road everyday

TI’s Big Sustainability Leap: RFAB
• Strategy Team - Fabscape
– 5 strategy teams were formed in advance of project
– The 5th team – focused on sustainability only
– Generated early white papers on a number of ideas
• Tour (Westbrook House – www.enerjazz.com/house)
– Invited 3 VP’s to tour active/passive solar home
– Low utility bills for “normal” house spurred interest
• Design Workshop
– Teamed up with Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI)
– Held 3-day design charrette to brainstorm ideas
– Generated 15 “Big Honkin’ Ideas” to carry forward along with a large
list of other good ideas
– Made a first pass at LEED score sheet

Cost/Benefit
• We invested less than 1 percent of the project cost (less than $1.5 million) in
LEED-related items:
• Predominately efficiency improvements that we would have considered regardless of
LEED
• Overall project cost was 30 percent less than our previous 300 mm fab
• In the first full year, we should save $1 million in operating costs
• At full build out, we will save more than $4 million per year:
• 20 percent energy reduction
• 40 percent water-use reduction
• 50 percent emissions reduction
• LEED Gold Certified Office and Fab

The Negawatt
Negawatt (n) - a measure of energy efficiency;
a unit in watts of energy saved
Solar and wind may be sexy . . .
. . . but efficiency yields the best financial and
environmental benefits
Chris Schairbaum
13
NegaWatts: The Argument for Efficiency
65% of all energy created is lost in the conversion &
distribution process… this is why energy conservation
is so important => 1kWh saved is 3.3kWh of energy
source never consumed

Chris Schairbaum
A Corporate Example
Make It
In 2007, an American Fortune 100
Company:
• Installed 1.6MW of solar power
• Costing $10M in gross capital ($3M Net)
• Generating 2,000 MWh / year
• Saving $0.2 Million / year
• Providing a > 10% ROI
Use It
In 2007, Texas Instruments:
• Implemented efficiency programs
• Costing $1.2M in gross capital
• (Generating) 14,717 MWh / year
• Saving $1.5 Million / year
• Providing a > 100% ROI
Alternative energy ROI’s are improving dramatically, while
Efficiency ROI’s are dramatic already

Capitalism => Natural Capitalism
Today we have a temporary aberration called
“industrial capitalism” which is inadvertently
liquidating its two most important sources of
capital… the natural world and properly
functioning societies. No sensible capitalist would
do that. – Amory Lovins
"The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the
same level of thinking we were at when we created them."
- Einstein
