A World of Opportunity Exists

• Conservation (especially energy efficiency
  improvements) applied to existing buildings is a
  more readily available and economically viable
  means for meeting near term demand growth than
  new power sources
• Energy conservation is a cornerstone of any
  sustainable business model.
• Properly designed programs can have a positive
  impact on a business earnings and cashflow.

Experts calculate that less than 15
of all Energy Retrofits are completed

Past Efforts at Energy Efficiency
Why Havent More Business Building Owners
Implemented Energy Efficiency Projects?

• Lack of Awareness of Green Crisis and Potential
  Solutions
• Inefficient and marginal technology which added
  more problems than solutions
• Responsibility often left to maintenance
  departments rather than ownership or management.
  
• Inability to see the impact on the bottom line.
• Triple-net leases pass energy costs along to
  tenants

Profitable Sustainability
A New Model

• Technologies changed and become more
  user-friendly.
• Energy savings provide financial rationalization
  for new additional projects. Most projects pay
  for themselves within a few years.
• More funding is available.
• Energy Conservation becomes an industry focus.
  Ownership gets involved.
• Management/ownership must develop an interest in
  increased bottom line and corporate citizenship.
