Both tenant (Alnoor Keshvani, Loop Clothing) and property manager (John Tutt, Princess Twin Cinemas) of a multi-use cinema/retail complex established in 2004 are collectively the first official “Cool Shops” of Waterloo, Ontario. Upon opening Princess Twin Cinemas in January 2005, Tutt converted the existing T12 fluorescent tube lights to more efficient T8 lighting and recently changed the existing 150 watt incandescent spotlights to 13 watt compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs).

Also, established in late 2004, Loop Clothing is a new concept retail design lounge that functions as a lounge, retail store and as an art gallery. By December 2005, store owner Alnoor Keshvani committed to save money on energy bills by switching the existing 75 watt halogen spotlights to newer, more efficient, 13 watt CFLs. Each of these small lighting retrofits have saved both businesses over $2,000 in energy costs per year!
