longer a luxury amenity; it's an expectation
of our owners and guests.
The "unit of the future" is the forefront
of my focus. We have more than 800,000
owners with changing needs. Technology is
a priority for the next generation of owners,
and that's important for us because they
are going to be our future customers. We'll
continue to incorporate the best technology
in our renovations because we know that it
will set us apart from our competition.
One of the things we're looking
at doing in 2013 is growing. We are
expecting a very positive year.

Bill Pierro, Jr., Lido Lighting: Our core
business is national account store lighting,
including all innovations such as LEDs.
But we believe that our biggest growth
opportunity is in Lighting COnTrOLs. The
light source itself is evolving very quickly
with reduced wattage, reduced energy,
yet increased lumens. The entire lighting
system can be viewed as a whole with
access to adjustment at the individual store
or even nationally through a network. With
"Controlled" dimming, daylight harvesting,
timers, occupancy sensors, etc., we have
the ability to manage our light energy even
more precisely.
