Huge Opportunity

• Existing buildings use at least 25 more energy
  than current code buildings.
• Greatest source of new energy is the energy that
  can be saved today!
• Reduce costs
• Operate a creative purchasing consortium
• Minimize project development costs
• Reduce overhead

School Opportunity

• 20 of the US population, or 55 million students
  and 5 million staff, attend school everyday.
• Schools spend 8 Billion per year on energy
  costs.
• Estimated 25 annual savings.
• If every new K-12 school and major school
  renovation in America went green, the 1-year CO2
  emissions savings would total 850-900 million
  pounds.

Why Existing Buildings?

• Existing Buildings generally account for 40 of
  emissions and up to 70 in big cities.
• Lifecycle cost 3/4 of costs of buildings occur
  after construction is complete
