Understanding Alternatives in Commercial Green Energy

Posted by seolink on June 8th, 2010 filed in Global Warming


Owners of office, commercial, industrial, and apartment buildings are always interested in new ways to lower overhead or operating costs. While millions are thinking of automated lighting and other indoor building  power saving devices, like using CFL (compact fluorescent light bulbs) wherever possible, and more efficient heating or airconditioning systems, there are property owners who are already moving to the latest green technologies like the solar heating system.

What is a solar heating system? It is actually a commercial green energy technology that can provide a large portion of a residential or commercial building’s hot water requirements by using heat from the sun. Although there are active and passive systems, some that use flat panels and some that use tubes, solar heating systems are mostly described as a panel or coil of metal or plastic, where water passes through and is heated by radiant or solar energy.

Looks too complex, doesn’t it? Actually it isn’t all that complex. Green technology is so beneficial that many organizations and government agencies are extending landlords and commercial property owners several financial incentives for investing in green energy. This demonstrates the viability of putting in a solar heating system right now for a large-scale property. These bonuses are intended to minimize installation and purchase cash outlays, and enable the payback of the solar heating system realizable in less than five years.

The first thing to keep in mind, however, is that implementation of commercial green energy requires the services of experts, and even thouhg you might have read that some people have constructed their own solar heating systems; these do-it-yourself projects are usually limited in capability or only built to cater to a single-family household. However, when you are talking about the hot water service for more than 20 residences, it will require specialized knowledge and high-level of technical experience to design the system.

Moreover, it is also critical to know that although the technologies behind any commercial green energy have advanced considerably in just a short period of time, it still doesn’t mean that they have totally replaced traditional energy sources: electricity, natural gas, or propanel for producing hot water all year round. But using green energy for most of your water heating needs will dramatically reduce the operating expenditures associated with the old electric hot water system.

Let’s just consider what this might mean financially. For example, if you have estimated that your bill for having hot water amount to sixty dollars per unit every month; then you are in fact disbursing that sum of cash each month. Once you have decided to have a solar heating system installed on the rooftop of your office or apartment building, you would be able to finance the solar water heating system, get a utility rebate, and take advantage a handful of state, local, and federal tax incentives available. This would include the option to use accelerated equipment depreciation and immediate tax incentives. In short, even though you are spending nearly the same amount or sixty dollars per unit per month; your payment is mostly for the solar water heating system, and not to utility payments. And after 2-5 years you would have paid-off the complete cost of the system. And you would then enjoy a considerable reduction on your monthly electric charges, and almost zero utilization cost of your water heating equipment for many years to come.

Special Report: Hidden facts revealed!

What is the truth about global warming? Are the ice caps melting? Will polar bears and penguins soon be found starving on small floating icebergs? Does the future survival of man hinge on an immediate reduction in carbon emissions?

This "politically incorrect" documentary is an exciting and important tool for all who face the rampant misinformation propagated by ecological alarmists. Global Warming addresses subjects that most others won’t touch, including misinformation which is contained in Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth.

Global warming is real, but it is not primarily man-made. This biblically-based and thoroughly balanced view of climate change reveals that global warming is not a black & white issue. Viewers will see why well-meaning Christians need to be extremely careful when advocating environmental policies. The message of this richly illustrated DVD is urgently needed in the politically heated discussions of America, and the world.

Through on-location interviews with leading creationist scientists, climatologists, and other commentators the dangers and politics of global warming are revealed. Learn how you can be effective in caring for creation without becoming an unwitting accomplice to the myths of global warming. This balanced approach to a very “hot” topic will equip you with the information necessary to honor the Creator ... without worshipping the creation.

God’s promise to Noah was that, “While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and winter and summer ... shall not cease” (Genesis 8:22).

On-location interviews with leading scientists are combined with compelling graphics to make this one of the most urgent and important DVD releases of the decade!

Fast facts from the DVD

  • “The amount of sea level rise has been downgraded over time . . . the estimated drop in sea level rise caused a lot of environmentalists to complain.”
  • “We have Africans dying by the hundreds of thousands, mostly children, because we’ve got poor people burning wood and dung in huts which cause respiratory illnesses which kill mostly children. Meanwhile, these people can’t have electricity because environmentalists . . . put pressure on their governments and don’t let them build hydroelectric dams that could . . . save their lives.”
  • “ . . . more people die of exposure to cold than they do exposure to heat.”
Climate of Corruption: Politics and Power Behind The Global Warming HoaxClimate of Corruption: Politics and Power Behind The Global Warming HoaxForeword written by S. Fred Singer, former director of the U.S. Weather Satellite Service and coauthor of Unstoppable Global Warming.

Melting glaciers, suffering polar bears, rising oceans- these are just a few of the climate change crisis myths debunked by noted aerospace expert Larry Bell in this explosive new book. With meticulous research, Bell deflates these and other climate misconceptions with perceptive analysis, humor, and the most recent scientific data. Written for the laymen, yet in-depth enough for the specialist, this book digs deep into the natural and political aspects of the climate change debate, answering fundamental questions that reveal the all-too-human origins of "scientific" inquiry. Why and how are some of the world s most prestigious scientific institutions cashing in on the debate? Who stand to benefit most by promoting public climate change alarmism? What true political and financial purposes are served by the vilification of carbon dioxide? How do climate deceptions promote grossly exaggerated claims for non-fossil alternative energy capacities and advance blatant global wealth redistribution goals? With its devastating portrayal of scientific and government establishments run amok, this book is an invaluable addition to the tremendously popular literature attacking the scientific status quo. Climate of Corruption will bring welcome relief to all those who are fed up with climate crisis insanity.

Global Warming: A Very Short IntroductionGlobal Warming: A Very Short IntroductionGlobal warming is arguably the most critical and controversial issue facing the world in the twenty-first century, one that will affect every living creature on the planet. It is also an extraordinarily complex problem, which everyone needs to understand as clearly and completely as possible. This Very Short Introduction provides a concise and accessible explanation of the key aspects of global warming. Mark Maslin discusses how and why changes are occurring, sets current warming trends in the context of past climate change, examines the predicted impact of global warming, as well as the political controversies of recent years and the many proposed solutions. Fully updated for 2008, this compelling account offers the best current scientific understanding of global warming, describing recent developments in US policy and the UK Climate Change Bill, where we now stand with the Kyoto Protocol, and the latest findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Maslin also includes a chapter on local solutions, reflecting the now widely held view that, to mitigate any impending disaster, governments as well as individuals must to act together.
