Why Green Retrofitting? Create Positive Cash Flow for Building Owner Increase Productivity Increase Occupant Comfort Create Free Positive Publicity Reduce Carbon Footprint, Foreign Oil Dependence Take Advantage of New Tax Credits / Grants / Deductions Stimulate the Local Economy

Our Priorities for Selecting Green Building Materials 1. Enhances efficiency, health, disaster resistance. 2. Reduces maintenance, construction time, construction costs, operating costs. 3. If not capital cost saving, then at least creates positive cash flow for building owners. 4. Locally available, supportable.

3 Key Systems for Commercial Building Retrofitting

Green Commercial Upgrade Package Example: 3 Key Systems: 1. Demand Buster Water-Cooled A/C Retrofit 2. Eco-Flector Insulating Low-E Window Retrofit 3. LED Lighting – Interior and Exterior Options: 1.Brac Greywater Recycling (Laundry Facilities) 2.Passive Solar Water Heating 3. Photovoltaic Power Generation, and more Applying the 3 key systems to a building upgrade will reduce energy consumption by 25 to 40 percent. Typical payback periods are two to five years. Project can be leased, creating immediate positive cash flow and a more comfortable, productive work environment.
