Treadwell Institute is a non profit devoted to finding sustainable solutions to the built environment. Mikel C Lolley is the Founding Executive Director with over 15 years experience as a Design / Builder, quietly performing his own Greenovation experiments on his own projects -- self performing all aspects as Owner / Developer / Specifier / Builder, and most importantly, as the on-going Facility Manager. This practical experience has allowed Mikel to be a much better predictor of how design and construction decisions endure over time. What decisions will fail? When will they fail? How they will fail? And, where they will fail? Every design decision and every construction detail needs to be run through this framework. Predicting what those decisions and details will look like after the one year warranty period, after 5 years, 10 years, and even to the end of a 39 year depreciation schedule is the GREENEST contribution that a design/builder can provide for any owner on any project and for any building. Predicting the future of how gracefully materials, equipment and technology will endure over time is like looking into a crystal ball, and is the filter that is often conspicuously missing from the conversations of the design professionals, and the subsequent builders. These same building owners and facilities managers are left to contend with those short sided decisions for the next 20 plus years, and at tremendous add cost and energy over the lifecycle of the building. This can and should be avoided thru more due diligence up front, more practical experience informing the design decisions, more hands-on experience for informing the actual execution, all aimed at fostering less embedded energy consumed repairing and maintaining design and construction errors that cannot endure the test time.

Secretary/Treasurer — Daniel McCormick CPA. • TREADWELL INST ITU TE III. Recent History. Treadwell Institute the non-profit has been performing Energy Evaluations and Energy Efficiency Recommendations on residential, small commercial, non-profit, and schools over the past year and a half. Treadwell LLC has been self performing similar services on their own buildings since 1995. Neither entity has performed services for any governmental agency in the past. IV. Description of similar work in past five years. Treadwell has been calling upon non -profits over the past year and conducting the initial Energy Survey Walk-thru's. From these survey's, Treadwell has been running Energy Analysis software to predict the most appropriate interventions that would be most effective in reducing energy consumption and corresponding cost saving back to the owner's. This same software then calculates the ROl's and SIR' s for each line item of intervention or action taken. Treadwell has been sitting on these potential projects until the incentives that have been looming on the horizon could be collected and included in the proposals. These incentives include the City RLF, Federal Tax Credits, Utility Company Credits, as well as Arkansas Energy Office Tax Credits. Together these incentives are exactly what we need given the current fragile US economy to push building owner to commit to the energy efficiency upgrades now while these opportunities last. Treadwell has been practicing Greenovation since the mid 90's on their own projects and has been a pioneer in the industry of sustainability as it pertains to energy efficiency and weatherization. It is challenging to extrapolate where the line between a conventional project and a green project exists when employing the same intellectual property, knowledge and experience to all projects.
