It’s Good to be Green

by 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.]
