Insights from Overseas Author of Learn From Looking 4
JOBS In 2010, Independence LED Lighting moved its manufacturing from China to Southeastern Pennsylvania. One of the first BAA Complaint Producers:
Energy Saving LED Lighting 15 Watt LED tube vs 32 Watt Fluorescent tube 53% Energy Savings Annual Savings: $8 Installed Cost: $16 Payback Time: 2 Years Example: Custom Engineered Longevity: 5 to 15 years for State Correctional Facilities (subject to amount of daily use) (No Glass or Aluminum that can be “weaponized”) 6
2017 Market Tipping Point: LED Crosses Over Other Lighting It’s time to change your remaining lights to LEDs 2019 2017 % of Total Market Incandescent = Filament Lights LFL = Linear Fluorescent Tubes CFL = Compact Fluorescent Lights LED = Light Emitting Diodes Source: McKinsey Global Lighting Market Model; McKinsey Global Lighting Professionals Consumer Survey 7
2019 Payback Performance: LEDs Deliver Favorable Returns Lumens / Watt and $ Dollars 2019 Payback Under 2 Years Efficiency has increased and cost has decreased. Future improvements are significantly less dramatic moving forward than over the past 10 years. 8
U.S. Average: Only 15% of lights have been changed to LEDs Mindset Challenges: A) “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” B) “If we wait, LEDs are getting cheaper and better.” C) “We don’t have a budget for LEDs.” Solutions for States: A) The maintenance cost is more expensive to wait. B) Offer more Requests for Proposals (RFPs) to see the technology improvements and lower costs. C) Ask for Performance Contracting with $0 upfront costs and payments on the savings. The following sample Case Studies demonstrate the proven results. 9

JOBS In 2019, the Energy Intelligence Center launched on the Northeast Corridor with technology initiated and proven in India. 10 years of proven Air Conditioning Algorithm Optimization
Air Conditioning Optimization • Buildings = 40% of US Energy Consumption • Air Conditioning and Ventilation = 20% to 40% • Optimization Savings = 15% to 40% without changing any of the cooling equipment, impacting thermostat settings, having any downtime, or costing anything up front. Payments are on the savings. The ALGORITHM integrates with existing Building Management Systems (BMS) and is like “tuning” the air pressure on your car tires to maximize fuel efficiency. 16
CASE STUDY: District Cooling Plant (Sample ability to review optimization on/off/on, Zamil DCP, Middle East) With Optimization Without Optimization With Optimization kW / TR (Ton of Refrigeration) Target Optimization Baseline 0.980 kW/TR Avg. 1.0005 kW/TR Avg. 0.8304 Excess Consumption 2% Avg. 0.7983 kW/TR kW/TR Savings: 15.3% Savings: 18.5% Avg. without Optimization Avg. with Optimization Daily Savings: .186 kW/TR = 46,027 kWh Daily Savings at $.04 / kWh: $1,841 Annualized Savings: $672,000 ( Comparison 16.8 million kWh/yr at $.10/kWh = $1.68m) Energy Savings for this period: 17% (This facility has 25,000 Tons of chiller capacity) Example of previous work by EIC’s CTO and CIO
CASE STUDY: LEED Platinum Hotel (Sample of 9 ITC/Starwood Group Hotels – This one: Maurya in New Delhi, India) Optimization impact in rising temperatures from March to May Daily kWh Consumption May 2012 April 2012 8,586 kWh/day 6,754 kWh/day March 2012 4,381 kWh/day March Savings: 1,457 kWh/day April Savings: 1,628 kWh/day May Savings: 3,742 kWh/day Avg. without Optimization Avg. with Optimization Daily Savings: 2,275 kWh (Avg. across all three months) Daily Savings at $.09 / kWh: $204.75 (in spring e.g. March to May) Annualized Savings: $74,733 (higher with summer heat loads) Energy Savings for this period: 25% This is on an already LEED Platinum Hotel) Example of previous work by EIC’s CTO and CIO
JOBS In 2018, SoMax BioEnergy brought the Food Waste to Fuel Technology from Germany to the US East Coast 20 years of proven Renewable Energy performance 19
Hydrothermal Carbonization Trash to Treasure: Food waste as well as human and animal waste converts into electricity and fertilizer. (20% food waste in US) The HTC “Reactor” is about the size of 40’ shipping container, and it is significantly more efficient than anaerobic digesters. (gge = gasoline gallon equivalent) (CNG = Compressed Natural Gas) 20
U.S. Cleantech Job Creation Each of these examples of cleantech lighting, air conditioning, and food waste to fuel create tens of thousands of jobs that are technical as well as “Ripple Effect” jobs in sales, service, and support for Americans. MADE in USA 21
Performance Contracting Each of these technology categories come with financing that generates CASH FLOW POSITVE results. CSG members can adopt new cleantech and lead by example. 22

Key Considerations: Optics Look for LEDs NARROW WIDE that maximize the light output where you need it most. 0 Save money by wasting less energy and review fixture cost relative to useable output. 39
Key Considerations: Photometrics Look at usable light (foot candles) vs volume of light (lumens) 0 40

Electricity is moved efficiently with Alternating Current (AC) over long distances. However, we’re wasting power with AC inside of buildings. 42
