ENERTECH QUARTERLY

by

Bill Kingsley

Managing Director

EnerTech Capital

Even with recent advances in energy efficient light bulb

technologies over the past two decades, lighting continues

to consume nearly 11% of electricity in North America.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that

lighting consumed about 412 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of

electricity in 2014 with roughly 262 billion kWh used by the

commercial sector and 150 billion kWh used by the

residential sector.

Driven by advances in semiconductor and light emitting

diode (LED) technologies, and riding cost curves that

precipitously declined with advances in consumer

electronics, lighting is now meeting the digital and internet

world that has upended many industries in recent years.

Haitz’s Law, an analogous phenomenon to Moore’s Law, has

accurately predicted the pace improvement of the

technology. It states that every decade, the cost per unit of

useful light emitted (lumen) falls by a factor of 10, and the

amount of light generated per LED package increases by a

factor of 20. The lighting industry and the electric industry

are at an inflection point which, simply stated, is the end of

traditional lighting.

Beyond technological advancement, governments around

the world have accelerated initiatives that ban inefficient

lighting technologies. At the local level, building codes have

been amended to stipulate energy efficient lighting

requirements. Various policy initiatives aimed at elimination

of hazardous content from fluorescent bulbs and reduced

carbon footprints are forcing customers to adapt.

Meanwhile, forward thinking real estate owners have seen

advanced lighting technologies reduce operating expenses of

their common areas, increasing the value of their buildings.

As 2015 begins, LED lighting makes up slightly more than 1%

of the installed lighting base in the U.S. Over the next 10

years, many industry players expect that number to climb to

nearly 65%. LED lighting technology converts roughly 20%

of electrical energy to visible light, which is already 4x more

efficient than other lighting technologies, and LED is

improving as only a semiconductor can. Incumbent lighting

players are attempting to realign their product and

manufacturing capabilities to meet a shifting marketplace.

Traditional market structures that worked well in an analog

(light bulb) world are transforming in a new digital (LED)

world.

Lighting – A Revolution Before our Eyes

4

ENERTECH QUARTERLY

The major lighting players accelerating a transition to LED

for commercial customers primarily target either new

construction or buildings undergoing substantial renovation.

But for every building that is either new or under

renovation, there are approximately 55 existing buildings

that are unaddressed. All of these existing buildings can

benefit from LED lighting retrofits in the next decade.

Digital Lighting meets the Internet

As if all of this wasn’t enough for an industry in transition,

the shift from analog to digital platforms has squarely

intersected with the Internet. Lighting is ubiquitous within

buildings, nodal, and lends itself well to an internet of things

(IoT) architecture. Complimentary technologies include low

-cost highly efficient wireless and power-line technologies

for connectivity, advances in sensors such as occupancy,

dimming, motion, temperature, environmental (carbon

monoxide, carbon dioxide, smoke detection, trace

chemicals), and dynamic color tuning. Further, some

platforms have recognized the importance of embedding

microprocessor controls within nodes, and these will be

increasingly important as new capabilities are introduced.

The electric industry has much at stake here as a result of

these changes. With over 50% of electricity consumption in

its commercial segment attributed to lighting in a ten year

transition, and even more change occurring with the

integration of advanced control technologies, the electric

industry will need to watch its demand curves closely.

Deployment of more advanced capabilities such as

Automated Demand Response, Lighting-As-A-Service, and

tailored industry applications may further alter traditional

utility planning horizons.

EnerTech Portfolio Company Activity

EnerTech Capital has evaluated investment opportunities in

the lighting space with caution over many years. Until

recently, costs curves and quality did not match customer

expectations in most cases, and channel conflict proved

detrimental to new companies.

Our first foray into a company that played adjacent to the

space was Distech Controls. Distech is a provider of

building automation, control and energy management

solutions integrating Lighting, HVAC, Access Control and

CCTV. The Company was very successful as an EnerTech

Capital portfolio company and was recently acquired by

Acuity Brands in a successful exit for Fund IV.

Based upon improvements in technology, cost and quality,

EnerTech Capital continued to review investment

opportunities in the lighting space. In March 2015, we

announced an investment in Terralux, a Longmont, CO-

based provider of LED lighting products focused on retro-

fitting existing commercial lighting installations. Terralux has

a unique plug and play solution, eliminating the need to rip

and replace existing lighting infrastructure and architectural

fixtures. The economics are optimized when replacing lights

with long run-times, and customers are seeing very short

payback periods and excellent IRR’s in many markets.

Terralux is run by a very experienced semiconductor

industry team, using strict engineering and reliability

standards as well as world-class subcontract manufacturing

capabilities. Terralux employs a unique selling proposition

and is finding a market that is receptive to the products it

has introduced in 2014/2015 thus far. The Company has

begun testing its LEDSense intelligent lighting platform with

customers to early acclaim. Terralux is also featured on the

next page.

LEDSENSE® - Terralux’s voltage driver architecture creates an opportunity for

technology and applications integration. Lights are ubiquitous and hold an

advantaged position in a building as an information gathering point.

A complete system can be controlled via a smart device.

ENERTECH QUARTERLY

About the Company: Terralux designs and manufactures

Light Emitting Diode (LED) products for general illumination

in commercial and industrial applications. The company

holds patents across many of the most critical aspects of

LED technology including active and passive thermal

management, driver architecture and design, optical design

and infrastructure compatibility, and mechanical packaging.

Their LED lighting solutions are easy to install, highly

reliable, and economical.

Value Proposition: Traditionally, LED lighting companies

have focused exclusively on new building construction and

rehabs of existing buildings. Terralux provides building

owners the opportunity for significant energy savings

through adoption of LED technology without having to

replace existing lighting fixtures and infrastructure. While in

some cases energy savings of 50-80% are available,

customers find the installation cost savings, reduction in

ceiling tile damage/replacement, and ability to add Wide

Area Network intelligence to be significant forces in

business cases. Some customers are easily beating IRR

return targets of 20-25% with the Terralux approach, while

other customers have seen lighting project paybacks of less

than one year.

Market: There is a massive LED retrofit market

opportunity. For every new construction building with a

potential lighting project, there are 55 buildings waiting to

be retrofitted. The US market for pin-CFL replacement in

commercial/indoor common areas alone is greater than $10

billion.

EnerTech Investment: EnerTech led an $11 million

growth investment in March, 2015. Joining EnerTech in this

round were Generation Investment Management, Crawley

Ventures, Emerald Technology Ventures, GC&H

Investments, and Founder & CTO, Dr. Anthony Catalano.

EnerTech Capital Managing Director, Bill Kingsley joined the

company board.

“Our investment in Terralux fits directly in our investment

strategy around emerging opportunities in the energy

efficiency space particularly for innovative retrofit solutions.

Given our significant domain knowledge in the energy

efficiency sector and behind the meter energy solutions, we

believe that as a firm we can add significant value as

Terralux executes on its business plan. This investment

represents our 9th deal in our latest fund (EnerTech IV) and

we believe there are significant synergies between Terralux

and a number of the other companies in the existing

portfolio” said Wally Hunter, Managing Director at

EnerTech Capital.

“Terralux has built elegant solutions that allow building

owners to begin retrofitting the enormous base of existing

buildings with energy efficient LED technology,” said Bill

Kingsley, Managing Director at EnerTech Capital. “The pace,

quality and the market acceptance of their new product

releases caught our attention. We believe in this strategy

and look forward to working with the existing investors and

management team to drive the rapid growth of Terralux.”
