It’s Good to be Green

It’s Good to be Green

Mike McDerment - October 17/2006

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.

[Hat tip to Fortune, whose magazine I love and whose on-site search tool stinks.]
