Reposition MRO Products for Use in Green Markets
May 23, 2011 - Taking advantage of the green marketplace doesn't necessarily mean that your company has to focus on green, according to Brandon Fletcher, founder of Green Analytics in Bentonville, AR. Rather it's about recognizing the real opportunities that already exist in that market.
"Mostly it's talk about business," says Fletcher. Fletcher spoke at the Industrial Supply Association's 2011 Product Show & Conference. "In my opinion, this will be the source of the first trillion dollar company. ... That's how big this opportunity is."
Energy Efficiency: A Financially Sound Way to Go Green
May 9, 2011 - The commercial and residential sectors alike are searching for ways to become "greener," save money, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, the availability of extra money to fund the renovations is hard to come by in the current economic recession. The mantra thus far has been let's cut back on the extras that we do not need and use the savings for other allocated sectors. What if there is a way to become "green" without any upfront costs and can be a fiscally correct solution?
Green Analytics, Inc., an energy conservation company, guarantees that its energy conservation solution reduces energy usage by at least 30%, without any up-front costs, and has a return on investment of 3 years.
LightsOn: Energy Efficiency: The Most Sensible Way to Go Green
May 3, 2011 - As politicians, companies, and citizens are pushing for a "greener" environment, meaning one that is environmentally sustainable and emits fewer greenhouse gases, numerous studies have been conducted to determine the best way to go "green." Should we have solar panels, geothermal energy, windmills, or energy efficiency? This is the question that all members of society are faced with from power providers; the CEOs, CFOs, and corporate sustainability officers in the corporate world; and individuals.
Current Economy and Benefits to going Green
One cannot object to the fact that the current economy is proving to be a difficult time for manufactures to weigh the costs of going green and waiting for the long-term return on investment. This leads to a number of executives "doing business as usual" and waiting to go "green." However, the company is still acquiring higher utility costs and emitting more greenhouse gases including carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The transition to going "green" should be financially harmless and profit maximizing for the company. In a perfect economy, everyone would be willing to renovate using more energy efficient measures or renewable energy.
How to save energy with thermal imaging cameras
April 14, 2011 - The use of thermal imaging cameras can help businesses to adopt a thorough and systematic approach to reducing their energy consumption. With buildings thought to be responsible for about 40 per cent of energy consumption and 36 per cent of CO2 emissions in the EU, improving their energy performance forms an important part of the green agenda.
Major cost savings are also up for grabs for companies that identify the areas in which they are losing energy from their premises. This is where thermal imaging comes in, as the technology, while relatively straightforward to use, can help to provide a complete picture of a building and its energy performance.
At one time, people’s awareness of thermal imaging was likely to be limited to television shows following police officers as they chased suspects through urban areas using the devices. Nowadays, they are becoming an increasingly valuable and popular tool in the bid to make properties – both commercial and residential – more energy efficient.
Bobbi Klein of energy conservation company Green Analytics explained how the cameras make it easy to understand how a building is wasting heat and therefore using more energy than it needs to.
"If you take a data centre and you watch it via thermal imaging, you see that there are hot zones going through the ceiling and cold air coming through the floor," he told Processor. "Using thermal imaging, you can literally see the money seeping out through the ceiling. Anyone can understand that."
Energy efficiency has taken a backseat but is quietly making its move forward
March 28, 2011 - In this exclusive interview, Renewable Energy Magazine's Content Director, Toby Price spoke to Brandon Fletcher from Green Analytics about the company’s mission and the issues faced by the energy saving and efficiency sector.
Green Analytics, Inc. from Arkansas (US) describes itself as "an energy conservation firm" and reveals that its mission is "to create a sustainable environment for all and save companies energy and money at the same time." The company has a portfolio of energy efficiency solutions which it claims provide immediate savings on energy costs and pay back in Returns on Investment in only three years or less.
A trillion-dollar market size seems pretty sexy
March 28, 2011 - Green Analytics, Inc. from Arkansas (US) has a portfolio of energy efficiency solutions which it claims provide immediate savings on energy costs and Returns on Investment in only three years or less. In an exclusive interview earlier this month, the company's co-founder and CEO, Brandon Fletcher, explained to Renewable Energy Magazine that the energy saving industry "is missing a voice because it is still trying to figure out what to say." However, he is optimistic that this "trillion-dollar market" has a bright future.
"Most of the large companies were and still are worried about new buildings more than retrofits. The LEED movement, which includes all notions of green, has made the process complex, the market high end, and the price point prohibitive," explains Brandon Fletcher, former Head of US Strategy for Wal-Mart US and current CEO of Green Analytics. "We think we have the right message that every building can save 30-60% of its energy with a payback of 3 years or less. Clients deserve to have the audit, install, and financing provided by a one-stop shop, and the industry has to catch up to get noticed from the media."
Show Me The Green - Industrial Maintenance and Plant Operations
February 22, 2011 - Manufacturers have a lot to worry about these days. From the competitiveness of the global marketplace to the seemingly never-ending attempts at heightening efficiency, it's easy to get bogged down in the minutiae without a clear idea as to where to begin.
Could there be a perfect solution with zero up front cost, three year return on investment, and visible reductions in green house gas emissions? Green Analytics, Inc., an energy conservation company, does this everyday, transitioning companies to be environmentally sustainable using energy efficiency solutions that are financed with zero up front cost. This solution reduces energy costs by a minimum of 30 percent resulting in a return on investment in three years or less.
Reaping the green
February 3, 2011 - Manufacturers have a lot to worry about these days. From the competitiveness of the global marketplace to the seemingly never-ending attempts at heightening efficiency, it's easy to get bogged down in the minutiae without a clear idea as to where to begin.
But becoming bigger and better often requires some sort of expenditure. Be it a small tweak or a large overhaul, change doesn't come for free. However, what if a company said they could transform your business in a way that not only saves money but also makes it energy efficient -- without any out-of-pocket expenses? Most people would raise an eyebrow and ask what the catch is.
This opportunity is not a manufacturing urban legend, but a viable option for companies looking to save some green and become more green in daily operations. Green Analytics, Inc., has married energy efficiency and financial freedom for businesses looking to revamp and get ahead. In fact, Brandon Fletcher, CEO and co-founder of Green Analytics, prides the company on "finding a fiscally correct way for everyone to say 'yes' to energy-efficient technology."
Of course, this incites a long line of questioning most likely involving the word "how."
Green Analytics' approach consists of three steps. First, a Green Analytics representative does a walkthrough of the facility, paying special attention to features such as roof structure, maintenance challenges, blueprints, and the HVAC system, to name a few. Next, the gathered information is analyzed and a custom design project is created. And lastly, all necessary technology and equipment is acquired and installed.
As for the financials, Green Analytics asks clients to "have a little faith." Essentially, the savings from the energy-efficient equipment pays for the project, with a complete return in two to three years.
Altering the way businesses go green
January 27, 2011 - As the need to combat climate change increases, companies are now taking responsibility for their actions and looking to the 'Go Green' movement. However, the up front costs of being environmentally sustainable and the long-term return on investments usually steer them towards the 'doing business as usual' model. However, Bobbi Klein of energy conservation company Green Analytics, Inc, believes the shift towards zero carbon should not be painful.
Could there be a perfect solution with zero up front cost, three year return on investment, and visible reductions in green house gas emissions? Green Analytics, Inc. does this everyday, transitioning companies to be environmentally sustainable using energy efficiency solutions that are financed with zero up front cost. "This solution reduces energy costs by a minimum of 30% resulting in a return on investment in three years or less," highlights Bobbi Klein, Director of Green Analytics.
Time to get energy-efficient
January 18, 2011 - The issue of energy efficiency has become increasingly important and we can expect more services and applications directed at that. Yesterday General Electric announced that it was buying Lineage Power Holdings, a company specialized in high efficiency power conversion technology and services to data centers. The $520 million deal targets the increasing demand for energy generated by mobile technology. GE said by 2013 there will be over one billion smartphones across the world and each devices requires a power infrastructure that needs to be reliable.
But it's not just mammoth corporations that are targeting energy efficiency. Individuals are also opting for energy-efficient home appliances to cut emissions and save money.
One company that specializes in energy efficiency solutions is Green Analytics. Its business is to to install built environment solutions that can reduce energy use by 30-50% with a payback of less than three years. "The truth is that if everyone was truly maximizing profit, we would not have a global warming problem," says Brandon Fletcher, co-founder of Green Analytics. "You would not believe the number of buildings where basic HVAC, lighting, and the building envelope improvements will pay back in a matter of months."
Getting green buy-in: Rolling out a green tech plan requires backing from the higher-ups
January 14, 2011 - In the tech sector, the first significant step in gaining green buy-in is getting the ear of the people with the purse strings.
"The answer moving forward is to shift the conversation to where it's almost exclusively financial," says Brandon Fletcher, founder and CEO of energy conservation company Green Analytics. "You find yourself with an advocate you didn't have before. Instead of having the IT manager or the sustainability team advocating these changes, you have the CFO pounding the table and saying, "This needs to happen now.'"
Modificaciones en casa ahorran energía
January 13, 2011 - ¿A quién no le gustaría ahorrar dinero en los recibos de electricidad?
La diferencia del cobro de electricidad puede ser hasta cuatro veces mayor en el invierno en comparación con el otoño y la primavera. Sin embargo, existen tecnologías que se pueden incorporar en casa que le ahorrará dinero en su bolsillo.
“Se puede combinar el interés propio con salvar el planeta”, dijo Eduardo López, gerente comercial de Green Analytics. Los errores más comunes, según López, son “pensar de que ellos no pueden hacer nada o de que cuesta mucho hacer algo”. Hay ciertas cosas que dan un “impacto inmediato” en las facturas de electricidad. Una es cambiar a bombillas fluorescentes que tienen una vida más larga y gastan menos energía, dijo.
Otra es colocar en las ventanas nano-cerámica que es transparente y de manufactura alemana, dijo. En inglés se conoce como “window film”. “La cerámica repele un promedio del 53% de la energía solar, alcanzando hasta el 70% si se utiliza el grado más alto”, dijo. “También esta cerámica filtra hasta 90% de los rayos ultravioleta”, dijo.
Asimismo, existen ventiladores de circulación de aire que Green Analytics pone en edificios grandes para asegurar que el calor se distribuya de igual manera en toda el área. Él demostró un ejemplo de cómo ayudaron al aeropuerto XNA a ahorrar energía con su calefacción por medio de esta tecnología. Durante el invierno “el calor se va hacia arriba”, dijo. El diferencial de temperatura es 70 grados en el techo pero es 47 aquí abajo, dijo. El tamaño del ventilador sería distinto en una casa que por el momento se está desarrollando. “Estas son tres maneras de combatir efectivamente el exceso de pago en los cobros”, dijo López.
2015 countdown
April 22, 2010 - Green Analytics, an integrated energy efficiency solutions provider, announced its commitment to making 2015 the peak global CO2 emission year. This announcement is in response to the urgent demand in the St. James Palace Nobel Laureate Memorandum that unless the world can turn the corner on C02 emissions by 2015, the devastating effects of global warming and the climatic chaos that follows will be unavoidable. This commitment will require a reduction in emissions in the developed world larger than the growth in emission in the developing world. That tipping point is modeled by Green Analytics to be in 2015 at 32,952.66 million metric tons if they accomplish their ambitious plan.
