People want to do the right thing!People want to do the right thing!
The Majority of us agree that we should leave the planet j y g pin better conditions for future generations and we should not eat, breathe or drink the stuff!

People have been programmed to k hmake environment a charity?
In order to make Sustainability truly Sustainable we must integrate it intoSustainable we must integrate it into
our every day decision making.
Price Signal h lithru Policy
Current State:
Electricity Pricing is not differentiated based on Generation Source and Environmental Impacts are treated as
lan externality.
Desired State:
Environmental Impact of Generation Source is integrated into Electricity Pricing to drive migration to greener source and reduce usage of dirtiersource and reduce usage of dirtier sources.
Savings driven i CBusiness Case
Even without any Policy Change there are enough opportunities to integrate Sustainability Initiatives into enterprise projects and initiatives:
l1. Operational Improvement
2. Capital Replacement
3. Enterprise Marketing
4. Enterprise Risk Planning
5. Enterprise Strategy
Example:Integrating Sustainability intoIntegrating Sustainability into Operational Improvement
Challenge:
• Building appears to operate based on Complaint‐o‐meter!
• Uncertain of Building Sustainability Performance.
• Increasing Tenant demand for Sustainability .
Solution:
• Have Building Optimized as part of a Re/Retro‐Commissioning Initiatives
• Benchmark Building Performance against peer buildings.
Example:Integrating SustainabilityIntegrating Sustainability into Capital Replacement
Challenge:
• Building Asset near end of life.• New Technology shows savings with
10 Year Payback.• Critical Failure would drive like for
like replacement.
Solution:
• Treat replacement cost of end of life Asset as a sunk cost.
• Integrating Sustainability produces new options for driving additional savings.
• Improve payback to 6 years net or a single year payback incrementally.
Example:Integrating SustainabilityIntegrating Sustainability into Enterprise Marketing
Problem:

• Business Case for Replacement was economically viable but competitioneconomically viable but competition for capital resources was challenging.
Integrating :
• Integrate Sustainability into other Product/Brand Launch initiative.
• Integrate new look of LED signage into desired Brand Image.g
• Balance carbon impact of extended operating hours with carbon reduction from higher efficiency signage.
Example:Integrating Sustainability intoIntegrating Sustainability into Enterprise Risk Planning
Challenge:
• Aging Information Technology Infrastructure in high carbon electrical jurisdiction.
• Upgrades complicated by mission critical nature of Infrastructure
Solution:
• Integrate Sustainability into long term planning.
• Develop new facilities in new low carbon electrical jurisdictioncarbon electrical jurisdiction.
• Utilize high efficiency IT technology in new facilities.
• Consider On Site Renewable Energy Generation
