For the ultimate in sustainable design, we can show you how to use other energy technologies to drastically reduce your dependence on the power companies and their non-renewable resources. These alternative technologies connect and power your facility with systems that take advantage of abundant renewable resources.

Photovoltaic
Photovoltaic is the term used for solar power technology that uses solar cells, or solar photovoltaic arrays, to convert light from the sun directly into electricity. These systems generate usable electricity so that you can be less tied to the power lines and improve your bottom line. With a substantially high growth rate, this alternative energy source is the fastest growing, most established alternative energy technology on the market.

Geothermal
Geothermal technologies use the earth’s resources to heat and cool your facility. According to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), geothermal systems average 40 percent greater efficiency than air-source heat pumps, 48 percent greater efficiency than natural gas furnaces, and 75 percent greater efficiency than oil-burning furnaces. In addition to energy savings, your business benefits from lower maintenance costs, more usable space, and better comfort for employees and customers. These systems have a life expectancy of 30 to 50 years.

Solar Thermal
Solar thermal technology defines systems that harness solar energy for heat rather than electricity. The higher the required heat load, the higher temperature collectors are used. Utilizing only 1 percent of the earth’s deserts to produce clean, solar electric energy would provide more electricity than is currently produced on the entire planet by fossil fuels.
