Decrease business overhead

During the last few years i've have had may calls from companies wanting to reduce the cost of electrical power. There are many options of alternative power available. Alternative energy has been available for over 100 years. In many areas it is more reliable and stable than traditional sources.

Contact me for independent consulting services and out of the box solutions!

Convert your existing home or commercial building into solar heating, solar cooling or both. Systems can be active, passive, a combination or remote (energy garden). Reduce your dependence on rising costs of traditional utilities. Utility inter tie available if required. Service for initial plan or consulting, minimum fees apply. Inquire for details.

consulting + system designs

Each day more solar energy falls to the Earth than the total amount of energy consumed by 6 billion people over 25 years! Solar (sunshine) can provide 90 percent of all power needs for everyone located in the sunbelt states. Also note I have not listed hydrogen here because it will not happen on a large scale.

Providing holistic design engineering package that is environmentally sound with products that will help to collect, recycle, exchange and control sustainable ~ renewable energy sources. If your goal is to conserve, harness and join with nature I can provide that partnership.

Environmentally friendly, system integrated, nonpolluting, renewable energy sources, with open system designs (non proprietary). Featuring low-maintenance, commercial and industrial quality products. Services for home, business, city, off-grid, grid-tied, and remote locations.

Heavy duty, off-the-shelf parts used where available for easy servicing. Simple low tech (manual operation), minimum tech (some automation) or high tech (full automation) systems design based on your needs and budget.

Energy consulting, energy reduction, energy conservation.  A 40% cut in overall utilities is possible for the convention center. Suggested changes will reduce gas and electric costs $1640 per month. Energy system investments in increments as small as $500 to $1000 per month will provide an average payback within a 6 to 24 months.

An investment now in energy efficiency (conversion) using our soft energy systems will reduce your utilities $240,000 over the next 10 years.

solar residence
Framed view of small environmental residence / vacation home design with open interior plan. Has large southern passive solar gain. No inside ducting needed for air circulation. Windows cross vent breeze in summer. Ready to incorporate solar hot water, solar electricity, wind and/or water power, depending on location. Start with alternative architectural design and automatically reduce utilities by 50% to 80%.
thermal exchangersheat exchanger Heat exchangers are used to bring in fresh air with minimal thermal energy (temperature) loss. Heats or cools exterior air brought inside. Most effective in extreme hot or cold climates. Other types of heat exchangers are used to pre heat water in restaurants, hotels, homes, spas and industrial processes. Heat exchangers are simple, reliable and mostly maintenance free.
solar electricsolar power Solar panels collect and convert sunlight to electricity. Store power in solar batteries or use 12v lighting or pumps directly. Supplies 12 or 24vdc. 120 or 240vac with inverters. Provides continuous or back-up power and protection against brownouts. Reverses utility meter with grid tie in. Can provide lighting in commercial buildings or homes during daytime hours without expensive battery storage. A totally silent renewable energy system.

building balance with nature
wind energywind turbine power Wind generators now typically interface with solar panels for balanced power usage. Wind generators have been in use for over a 100 years in the American west to pump water. Now newer wind generators provide electricity for every day use. Common for off grid, grid tie in and for providing electricity in remote areas.
water/ hydro power
hydro, water power
Pelt on turbine for hydro power used in rivers or streams to generate electricity. Works best with high head pressure. Available in many sizes to suit power requirements. Can be part of a power system or used alone.
packaged systemssolar heating cooling Solar heating, solar hot water and solar cooling in one package. Works on the principals of ammonia evaporation cycle. Similar in design to early commercial air conditioning units. No compressors make this system quiet and vibration free. (Recommended for commercial applications and large residences).
thermal storagethermal storage Thermal storage design for 2000 square foot residence in Scottsdale, Arizona. Designed to use off peak grid power to generate ice for cooling during summertime temperatures of 90°F to 120°F. System reverses in winter to store hot water. This system will also work in high humidity areas.
gray water recycle
graywater system
Plants prefer gray water rather than the chlorinated (chemical) content of standard tap water. Gray water can also be used in ponds after a reed and rock filter cycle. Gray water works in toilet flushing applications. Outdoor irrigation systems can be gravity feed or pump supplied. (Water hyacinths thrive on sewage.)
system controlsbuilding automation Building automation systems for large campus or corporate facilities help to show and analyze where electricity, gas, water use are used. The larger benefits include information used in reducing power consumption and designing more energy efficient systems. Building automation systems can also control HVAC, fire, lighting, CCTV systems. Automation systems interface with web software for on-site or remote control of building systems.
night time cooling
 
Daytime and night time cooling also called non compressor cooling is a simple system that draws in cooler outside air for pre cooling a home or building during night time hours. Only a fan or blower is used controlled by simple thermostats placed in selected locations. A reverse system can also be used for daytime heating requirements. cheap
