Princeton Hill is a three-story, Class A office building located in Cincinnati, OH. The building, constructed in 1988, is managed by Cassidy Turley and is a property of Wells Real Estate Funds (Wells), a national purchaser and manager of Class A office buildings across the United States.

Energy-saving steps include:
-- Staggering the start-up time of all high-draw HVAC units.
-- Exterior pole and ground lighting changed to pulse-start technology.
-- Tied stand-alone direct digital controls (DDC) to the building automation system (BAS).
-- During cooling months, pre-cool was set earlier to gradually allow for cool down from set-back. This eliminated spikes in consumption and kept the units from working as hard to attain proper cooling temperature.
-- Staging and layering of heating from the exterior of the building inward is planned for 2011. 
-- Throughout the building, all 32 watt light fixtures were changed to 28 watt lighting.
-- Motion sensors were added to all mechanical and janitorial rooms.
-- Lighting controls were implemented and utilized.

In January 2010, the building's ENERGY STAR rating was 57. The building earned the ENERGY STAR for superior energy performance in 2010 with a rating of 78! A 21-percent decrease in electricity charges was recorded between 2009 and 2010.
