Jones Lang LaSalle Enrolls 100% of its U.S. Property Management Portfolio in
ENERGY STAR
First major real estate service firm to achieve universal enrollment in ENERGY
STAR Portfolio Manager attains an average rating 17 percent higher than
competitive buildings

CHICAGO, Oct. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Jones Lang LaSalle today announced
it has achieved 100 percent participation in ENERGY STAR, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency's voluntary program for benchmarking the
energy efficiency of commercial buildings, throughout its property management
portfolio.

A total of 330 office buildings in 106 U.S. cities across Jones Lang LaSalle's
property management portfolio have been enrolled in ENERGY STAR Portfolio
Manager, a process which involves reporting a range of energy-related
information to receive a rating between 1 and 100. Ratings correspond to the
level of energy performance of a building compared to competitive building, so
a building with a 75 rating--the level required to receive an ENERGY STAR
label--is more energy efficient than 75 percent of comparable buildings.

The average ENERGY STAR rating of properties in Jones Lang LaSalle's managed
portfolio is 67, or 17 percentage points higher than the industry average
score of 50. This strong performance equates to approximately $50,000 per
building in annual energy cost savings for buildings managed by Jones Lang
LaSalle.

In addition, 143 of the buildings achieved ratings of 75 or higher, which is
the cutoff for earning an ENERGY STAR label. Jones Lang LaSalle-managed
buildings that have participated in the ENERGY STAR program for more than 24
months have an average rating of 74, an indication that benchmarking
performance leads to a cycle of continuous improvement.

"Participation in ENERGY STAR is the best way to objectively measure a
building's energy efficiency, and measuring performance is a key element in
improvement," said Dan Probst, Chairman of Energy and Sustainability Services
at Jones Lang LaSalle. "Owners are more likely to make modest investments in
properties when they can see a payback in terms of reduced energy cost."

"Owners are increasingly aware that buildings with high ENERGY STAR ratings
tend to get higher rent and sell for higher prices than competitive
buildings," said Dan Pufunt, Director of Property Management at Jones Lang
LaSalle. "Our superior ENERGY STAR performance reinforces Jones Lang LaSalle's
position as the leading third-party property management firm, as well as a
recognized leader in energy management and sustainability services."

"ENERGY STAR partners such as Jones Lang LaSalle are leading the fight against
global warming by improving the efficiency of their buildings and facilities,"
said Kathleen Hogan, director of EPA's Climate Protection Partnership
Division. "We applaud these efforts to help protect our global environment for
generations to come."

In 2008, Jones Lang LaSalle helped clients reduce their carbon emissions by
more than 438,000 metric tons and save $95 million through energy management
programs that reduced aggregate energy use by 2.7 trillion BTUs. The reduction
in emissions is the equivalent of taking 80,000 cars off the road. In
addition, Jones Lang LaSalle took steps to reduce its own carbon footprint,
such as acquiring hybrid vehicles for its U.S. maintenance fleet and a global
employee-engagement initiative known as ACT: A Cleaner Tomorrow.

Recently, Jones Lang LaSalle became one of only two real estate service firms
listed in Buildings Magazine's "Who's Who in Energy and Sustainability"
feature. Previous recognition includes receiving a Sustainability Cities award
from Financial Times and the Urban Land Institute; an ENERGY STAR Partner of
the Year award; and the Chairman's Award from the Alliance to Save Energy. The
firm also serves as program and project manager of the innovative $20 million
energy retrofit of the Empire State Building in New York, which will result in
energy savings of $4.4 million annually.

ENERGY STAR was introduced by the EPA in 1992 as a voluntary, market-based
partnership to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency.
Today, the ENERGY STAR label can be found on more than 60 different kinds of
products, new homes, and commercial and industrial buildings. Products and
buildings that have earned the ENERGY STAR designation prevent greenhouse gas
emissions by meeting strict energy-efficiency specifications set by the
government. Last year alone, Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved
about $19 billion on their energy bills while reducing the greenhouse gas
emissions equivalent to those of 29 million vehicles.
