	<description>We have two green objectives: &#34;green&#34;, as in environmental sustainability, and &#34;green&#34;, as in cost savings. That’s Green²; that&#039;s Green Squared!</description>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.ledsmagazine.com/news/7/5/12">A new Cleantech Approach (CTA) research report</a> states that lighting control technology can greatly reduce lighting energy usage from 35% &#8211; 55%.</p>
<p>The projected energy savings in the report are due purely to the ability to dim or extinguish lights automatically when they aren&#8217;t needed.</p>
<p>Given most estimates attribute a quarter to 40% of all electric costs come from lighting in commercial buildings, you would expect that these types of systems could save anywhere from 9-20% of the entire building energy costs.</p>
<p>And don&#8217;t forget that less lighting also means less cooling costs.  Win/Win.</p>
