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.
