Seeing Green What does it Mean?
2
Seeing Green – What Does that mean? Learn about new practices and how incorporating them can save the environment and your business. Hear from industry professionals on the by-law updates and recent compliance measures. Presenters: Mr. Al Macdonald – Carwash Operations - Canadian Tire Corp. Mr. Eric Wulf – Executive Director ICA Mr. Vito Consentino – Wash ‘N’ Go Mr. Phil Hughes – Southwest Energy Control Systems
3
Eric Wulf – Executive Director ICA Growing recognition of the “good story” of professional car washing Increasing number of communities banning driveway/parking lot washing Increasing number of governmental organizations promoting professional car washes Increasing recognition from media and environmentally-focused NGOs Increasing ability for operators to evaluate equipment performance and costs Manufacturers are increasingly providing water and power usage data Operators are increasingly sharing this data with their customers
4
Eric Wulf – Executive Director ICA Consumer expectations and opportunities Disconnect between consumer awareness and current industry performance (will cite our 2008 Consumer Study) Operator success stories (when marketing themselves as “green”) Car wash certification programs and WaterSavers Places where certification (i.e. drought response management) is growing WaterSavers components and results to date

Al Macdonald – Canadian Tire Corp. Reclaim Systems ROI (based on various Ontario locations at 80% reclaim with 26,000 cycles and excludes maintenance costs) Challenges unique to our market Water Costs Salt Saturation Wash TypeCapital CostAnnual Savings Investment return Cloth Tunnel$25,000Approx $15,000 <2yrs Touchless Tunnel $25,000Approx $18,000 < 2yrs Touchless Rollover $22,000Approx $8,000 <3yrs
