The document discusses greening the built world through green buildings and renewable energy. It provides examples of green building certification programs and standards that assess efficiency and sustainability. It also examines the costs and benefits of green buildings, finding that they often have lower operating costs than conventional buildings due to energy and water savings, while having little to no increased construction costs. The document advocates increasing investment in clean energy technologies to reduce emissions and dependence on fossil fuels.

Gr eening Impacts: Thr ee Sources of
Br and Equity
• Increased brand awareness (e.g., free media
exposure)
• Greater preference due to specific attributes
(e.g., better IEQ)
• General non-attribute preference (e.g.,
association with quality, lower risk)

28. What is yo ur invest ment t hesis?
Common view is: Big problem, one grid, national issues (security,
trade deficit, employment, global warming)
So assumption is: centralized answer eg nuclear, coal CCS
But slow, uncertain and v costly
Real solution is opposite. Its decentralized, ie telephony and IT
We have the technologies.. We need to scale and deploy them
No silver bullet.. lots of technologies and niches
Greg Kats, Capital –E, May 2010
29. So me Dubio us Invest ment Theses
Five 9s/ reliability.. microturbines, flywheels
Benefits must be real and cheaper than alternatives
Hydrogen/fuel cells..
Infrastructure threshold
Environmental math must work
Ethanol.. Do the math on energy, politics of food to fuel
Nanotechnology? Ca. $1 billion in 1000 firms. Over-
investment, exits?

The AeroCam Type I turbine is a low-noise, low vibration 12kW cycloidial turbine that can be deployed on a
rooftop or ground mounted at point of use
• Unlike many small wind systems, self-starting The AeroCam’s technological advantage is that it maximizes
aerodynamic lift forces that provide driving torque and power production
Superior power density in relation to other distributed generation turbines and solar PV
Power Density = Amount of Power Produced X Length of Turbine’s Frontal Cross Section
• Footprint of AeroCam turbine is 1/4 that of a same-sized solar array
