“It’s hard for a car dealership to be green,” says General Manager Jay Frank at Larry H. Miller Volkswagen in Lakewood, Colorado. “We keep the lights on inside and out almost all of the time but we knew we could be smarter about our energy use.” Frank had previously chosen compact fluorescent bulbs in his service lounge hoping to conserve energy but found the bulbs came with problems. He wasn’t happy with the light they emitted and says they burned out too often, so he was constantly replacing them, spending money he was trying to save.
