  3. SUSTAINABILITY “We thought we could sit in Bentonville, take care of customers, take care of associates – and the world would leave us alone: It doesn’t work that way any more.” Lee Scott, CEO, Wal-Mart

  4. SUSTAINABILITY “Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Combination – Social, Environmental and Economical factors – The Triple Bottom LIne

  5. THE TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE

  6. Triple Bottom Line – Eco-Efficiency • Eco-Efficiency – basic concept of 3BL – reducing the amount of resources used to produce goods and services, which increases profits while decreasing its environmental impact. • Logic – energy inefficiencies is waste and waste is anathema because it means that your company is paying for something it didn’t use.

  7. LIME ENERGY Is it Possible to Capture Hidden Savings in your Buildings & Operations? What is your business doing to mitigate the risk of a dynamic global energy market?

  8. Energy Efficiency “When it comes to saving money and growing our economy, energy efficiency isn’t just low hanging fruit; it’s fruit laying on the ground.” Steven Chu, Energy Secretary, June 29th, 2009 “…efficiency improvements are significantly less expensive than building new plants and power lines and burning more fuel.” The American Counsel for an Energy-Efficient Economy (“ACEEE”)

  9. WHY ECO-EFFICIENCY? Future of Energy is Dynamic& Uncertain • Growing World Energy Demands • Threats to Supply from Terrorism • Emerging Regulations • Market changes to address Climate Change • Natural Disasters – Japan, Hurricane Katrina • Change in attitude of customers “My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there.” Charles Kettering, founder AC Delco

  10. ENERGY EFFICIENCY Energy Star was created by the EPA and provides building owners with strategic energy management plans designed to benefit both the environment and the owners bottom line. LEED operates through the U.S. Green Building Council and take a much broader “triple bottom line” approach. LEED quantifies a building’s performance in categories including sustainability sites, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources.

  11. HOW TO GET STARTED • Measure and track • Set an energy group – assign an executive • Establish goals • Meet and report regularly • Value the benefits • Look for cost savings and increased sales

  12. PRECISE MEASUREMENT = MAXIMUM SAVINGS • IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE WHAT CAN’T BE MEASURED. • Lime Energy’s food production analytics and software partnerships make precise measurement possible for building energy, maintenance and carbon footprint management. • User-friendly web interface, no software to install or maintain

  13. PRECISE MEASUREMENT = MAXIMUM SAVINGS IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE WHAT CAN’T BE MEASURED.

  14. PRECISE MEASUREMENT = MAXIMUM SAVINGS • Lime Energy does the start-up work for you including: • building and meter set-up • quality audit of historical utility bills • connection to weather data • carbon emission tracking setup • Once you are set up, we work with your staff to maintain the data and evaluate regularly to look for outliers and find solutions.

  15. PRIORITIZE OPPORTUNITIES LOOK AT ENERGY IN EACH FACILITY • How? An energy audit followed by a detailed energy plan. • A prioritized list of your most inefficient facilities will rank the buildings that provide the best opportunity for no-risk financial return.

  16. IMPLEMENT WHAT CAN GO WRONG # 3) Neglecting frontline people # 9) Not testing thoroughly # 17) Overlooking opportunities

  17. IMPLEMENT WHAT CAN GO RIGHT • Significant savings that you can measure and are integrated with company operations • Better consumer loyalty • Improved investor confidence • Quick results when design and implementation are provided by the same firm

  18. EXTRAORDINARY RETURNS • An effective measure for energy productivity — the direct energy cost per dollar of revenue — can be improved by lowering energy and operating costs. VERIFIABLE ANNUAL ROI FOR THE FOOD INDUSTRY

  19. LIME ENERGY’S EFFICIENCY SERVICES

  20. NATIONAL PRESENCE IN KEY METROPOLITAN/ GOVERNMENT TARGET MARKETS 400 employees in 23 offices
