Money-Saving Green Strategies
In today's difficult times, green business practices generate immediate cost reductions, and they lay the foundation for your company's long-term success and profits when good times return.

Charles Lockwood will advise your company how to save money immediately in four specific areas:

• Workplaces. The single largest source of prompt cost reductions.
• Operations.
• Business and Supplier Relationships.
• Products and Services.

Your competitors are now cutting their costs while improving their workforce productivity, and they are readying new green products and services to serve what three-time Pulitzer Prize winner Thomas L. Friedman has called "the leading industry of the 21st century."

Don't be left behind.

Green Retrofits of Existing Buildings
More and more companies want green workplaces, so they can reduce their energy costs, boost workforce productivity, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Real estate owners and investors recognize that conventional (non-green) properties face growing obsolescence and declining value, because tenants want green workplace advantages, and they have many choices in today's markets.

But not every company can carry out a top-to-bottom green renovation of their existing workplaces because of budget constraints or restrictive leases. Real estate owners are reluctant to close a profitable office building, hotel, or retail center to complete a green renovation.

Fortunately, companies and real estate owners have a third option. They can carry out phased Green Retrofits of their existing occupied buildings.

Green Retrofit is Charles Lockwood's proprietary 10-step strategic planning process that enables companies and real estate owners to carry out Green Retrofits in prompt and cost-effective methods, and with minor impact on the users.

This phased process can be adapted to the specific needs of your property whatever its size, age, or location...and whether it is an office building, hotel, retail center, or high-rise apartment building.

Most of your Green Retrofit funding can come from existing budgets for regular maintenance and periodic scheduled upgrades. Additional money can come from newly enacted government incentives.
