TXI Midlothian Plant Earns EPA Energy Star Award
September 10 2010 - 6:58PM
TXI Operations, LP, a subsidiary of Texas Industries, Inc.
(NYSE:TXI) announced today that its Midlothian Cement Plant has
been awarded the 2010 Energy Star® certification for superior
energy performance by the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA). The award places the TXI Midlothian Cement Plant in
an exceptional category of high-performing, energy efficient cement
plants in the U.S., based on the EPA's National Energy Performance
Rating System.
TXI's Midlothian Cement Plant followed the stringent
requirements outlined by the EPA for plant energy programs,
including a detailed performance assessment along with an action
plan that ultimately resulted in achieving Energy Star
designation. "Energy efficiency is a major strategic theme as
we look into the future for the Midlothian plant, and we recognize
the importance of continuous improvement in this area," said J.
Lynn Davis, Vice President - Cement for TXI. "Achieving
this designation is significant because our employees work very
hard every day to conserve energy and produce cement as efficiently
as possible," Davis added.
With the growth in global demand for energy expected to rise
significantly over the coming years, incorporating energy
efficiency into TXI's operations through programs such as EPA's
Energy Star designation will continue to be an essential
goal. "Improving the energy efficiency of our nation's
industrial facilities is critical to protecting our environment,"
said Jean Lupinacci, Chief, Energy Star Commercial & Industrial
Branch. "From the plant floor to the board room, organizations such
as TXI are leading the way by making their facilities more energy
efficient and earning EPA's Energy Star." The Midlothian plant
has long been a model of environmental efficiency through use of
innovative air pollution control technologies and other process
efficiencies to manufacture one of the most widely-used and
critical building materials.
