VANCOUVER, November 5 /PRNewswire/ –

Greenscape Capital Group Inc. (TSXV: - GRN) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent (the “LOI”) to acquire 100 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Greenswitch Capital Ltd. (”Green.Switch”) via a share transaction based on Earnings Before Income Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (”EBITDA”).

Green.Switch has recently signed two major environmental (energy retrofit) contracts, one with Robbins Parking Services, headquartered in Victoria, B.C., Canada and one with Queen Charlotte Lodge at Naden Harbour near Masset, B.C., Canada.

Robbins Parking Services

This full service contract includes assessment, target setting, monitoring and implementation of energy saving equipment and strategies provided to Robbins Parking Services and its principal subsidiary, Platinum Parking, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, which manages 55,000 parking stalls across North America and is Canada’s second largest parking management company. Robbins is a prominent brand on Vancouver Island with 200 lots and facilities.

The initial phase of the Robbins contract is underway. Site assessment and implementation has commenced and equipment has been ordered for first 20 installations, to be completed by the end of 2009. The satisfactory completion of this first phase is expected to foster rapid expansion of the program. Positive discussions with Robbins and others in the North American parking industry have created short-term projections to retrofit more than 200 lots. This work within the industry is expected to achieve in excess of C$5 million in revenue. Not only is this positive for Green.Switch, but it enables parking operators to market a “green” image - attractive to consumers and property owners - saving money while improving the facilities.

The parking lot segment of the market consists of thousands of parking facilities throughout Canada and the United States. Parking lot management and ownership is a multi-billion dollar industry and energy is the largest variable operating cost. Green.Switch has developed a unique methodology to assess, retrofit and monitor upgrades to lots and as such is uniquely positioned to benefit. Through greening their operations, lot owners are able to realize significant energy savings. Green.Switch is currently negotiating environmental energy saving contracts with other parking lot operators.

Queen Charlotte Lodge (”QCL”)

This world renowned salmon fishing resort is located on the north tip of the Queen Charlotte Islands in British Columbia. The lodge is far beyond the reach of roads and utilities and all services are self sufficient. Supplies come to the nearest town (Masset) by air and then by boat or helicopter to the lodge. Energy is one of the resort’s most costly budget items. The goal is to achieve a dramatic upgrade in facilities and services, at no cost to the client. Green.Switch recently completed a detailed review of the lodge’s operations and has recommended approximately CDN$895,000 in upgrades to achieve substantial energy cost savings. This contract has been executed and is expected to generate revenues in excess of CDN$1.7 million. QCL is a Canadian icon, attracting each year a steady parade of top global CEOs. It is monitored closely by similar high-end and isolated adventure resorts world- wide. Green.Switch’s unparalleled program, including expertise in alternate energy sources, should further enhance QCL’s industry leadership and renown.
