Lower Operating Costs

◦ Electric Bills

◦ Maintenance Costs

Attract Users Via Quality

◦ Higher Rents from Sustainable Properties

◦ Premiums in Value

For Institutions – Schools/ Muni/ Hospitals/ Univ.

◦ Safety and Liability

◦ Perception about Quality / Viability of Organization

◦ Prudent Use of Funds

Page: 5



Green Labeled Buildings:

◦ Achieve Higher Rents: 7.3% to 17.3%

Energy Star: 7.3% to 8.6%, LEED: 15.2% to 17.3%

◦ Sell at Significant Premium: $30/ Sq. ft. to $129/ Sq. Ft.

Energy Star: $30/ Sq. Ft., LEED $129 / Sq. Ft.

Factors Driving Higher Rent & Valuations:

◦ Unique Visual Appeal Attracting Tenants >> Occupancy

◦ Reduction in Operating Expenses >> Average Rent

Versus:

Lighting has become a high value & technology decision…



LEDs:

On the Cusp of

Disruptive Change

in Lighting

Efficiency is Exceeding

Common Light Sources

120 Lumens/ Watt



Lighting Class LED Engine

Highly Effective Optics, Lighting Large Areas with One Fixture

Quality Electronics, Designed for 10 Yr. Service+

Convective Thermal Management

Engineered for Maintainability & Vandal Resistance
