enver, PA — High ConcreteGroup LLC have won a total of five PCI (Precast / Prestressed Concrete Institute) Design Awards, including two special awards, for four precast con- crete projects it has produced.

$225,000.00 (net $180,000.00 after deducting the cost of the retro-fit). For the purposes of this example, this savings of $180,000.00 could be utilized to fund other capital projects that do not result in savings. Taking this example one step further, the $45,000.00 annual savings from this LED retro-fit could also be used to cover the annual debt service for a $200,000.00 loan with a five year payback. By taking this approach, there would be no up-front cash re- quirements for the building to proceed with their $45,000.00 LED retro-fit - plus an addi- tional $155,000.00 to spend on other project(s), all paid for by the annual utility bill savings of $45,000.00. For buildings interested in exploring financing related to energy savings, there are finan- cial institutions, including Bar- ret Capital and M-Core Credit that specialize in financing energy savings related projects.
