The document outlines Sustainable Green Creative Solutions' (SGCS) approach to improving energy efficiency in buildings through various methods like lifecycle retro-commissioning, energy assessments, and capital leasing for upgrades. It emphasizes cost savings, enhanced productivity, and environmental benefits that come from implementing energy-efficient systems, such as improved HVAC and LED lighting. Additionally, it highlights potential tax deductions and financial incentives available for businesses undertaking these retrofits.

4. We invite you to evaluate SIPs
Construction and related
Product Solutions that are
BUILT GREEN
A building's "thermal envelope"
(think of your building like a thermos, where a tight seal is optimal)
is one of the most vital components of energy efficiency.
By using advanced techniques buildings are designed, built
and tested to ensure the tightest "thermal envelope".

to cut construction costs and reduce energy use

5. Cool roofs help building owners save money while protecting the environment.
http://www1.eere.energy.gov/femp/pdfs/coolroofguide.pdf
Cool roofs can
 reduce energy bills by decreasing air
conditioning needs,
 improve indoor thermal comfort for
spaces that are not air conditioned,
 decrease roof operating temperature,
which may extend roof service life.

6. The Benefits of Energy Efficient HVAC
HVAC systems consume 13% of all
primary energy generated around
the world with commercial
buildings being the worst offenders
using 30% of all energy produced.
Re-commissioning cost is recouped through utility savings, tax deductions & utility company
incentives. By Re-commissioning, the average operating cost will be reduced by 8-20%.
Green HVAC Productivity and Health Benefits
Monetary Benefits of Efficient HVAC Systems
 Indoor air contamination levels can be 25 times higher than outdoor air levels. In fact,
indoor air quality is ranked within the top 5 environmental risks to public health according
to the United States EPA.
 By eliminating or reducing inadequate ventilation; biological contaminants, bacteria,
molds, pollen, and viruses; and inadequate temperature, humidity, and lighting, building
owners can save money due to lost production and health care expenses
 Regular HVAC system maintenance and/or retro-fitting will provide a plethora of benefits
from healthier employees, resulting in less cost in healthcare and lost productivity, to
utility rebates and an environmentally conscious workplace.
 The ROI costs of HVAC system maintenance, repair, and upgrades will be recouped easily
through the plentiful benefits available through energy efficient programs and improved
health.

7. Lighting accounts for an average of 44 % of industrial
and commercial facilities’ electricity bills.

8. Environmental & Economic Impacts of Energy Efficiency

9. Energy Efficiency Capital:
An Introduction to Capital Leasing
We give Building owners preservation of working capital, cash reserves, or other
available business credit for business needs, rather than spending it on Energy Efficient
retrofits, creating a robust cash flow to keep operations moving
Whether upgrading HVAC, improving a building's
"thermal envelope", upgrading lighting systems or
bundling projects under a whole-building retrofit,
energy efficiency projects require large upfront
investments.
Capital leasing draws on the dollars to be saved for
future utility bills, Energy efficient incentives & tax
benefits to pay for new, energy-efficient equipment.
For the building owner who prefers to enjoy the benefits of ownership of the assets without
actually owning the energy efficiency project assets, a capital lease may be the best financing
vehicle. It is still a lease where the building owner is a lessee, but the lessee has access to any
tax and depreciation benefits that the equipment may have.
Lease payments are typically set to match estimated energy cost savings providing net positive
cash flow with little or no up-front cost. There is also the prospective for the building owner to
capture tax benefits (Capital lease)

Energy Savings $ increase to Bottom Line
Energy Savings $ applied to Financing
Why?
The amount you save in taxes can actually exceed the payments,
making this a very bottom-line friendly deduction
You are reading this correctly; in many cases,
the deduction will actually be profit.
Using Section 179 with an Equipment Lease or Finance Agreement
might be the most profitable decision you make this year.

11. Optimize energy solutions, rehabilitate existing facilities and
install highly energy-efficient systems that protect the
environment, increase energy efficiency, reduce
maintenance, operational costs & increase bottom line.
Qualified projects need no upfront or additional capital.
Payments can be arranged to meet your energy savings.
