It’s Good to be Green

In a recent Fortune magazine article, Adobe is credited with being the first company ever to receive a platinum award from the non-profit US Green Build Council.

Adobe earned the award by retrofitting its existing office. Highlights include:

• Adding fluorescent lights where incandescents were used before – Cost: $11,000, Annual Savings: $105,000
• Motion sensors ensuring stairwells and alcoves are lit only when used – Cost to Implement: $89,831, Annual Savings: $24,475

Motion sensors…that just seems *so* obvious.
