Schools Push for Ways to Respond to Demands for Student & Faculty Safety

KENILWORTH, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- During this pandemic with major swings in the number of cases at schools you have a situation where institutions are scrambling like never before. Johnstone Supply offers the iWave-C from NuCalgon, patented, self-cleaning needle-point bi-polar ionization technology, with tests showing a 99.4% rate of reduction in Covid-19.

iWave is an air purifying device that installs in any air conditioning or heating system. When air passes over it, ions produced by the device reduce pathogens, allergens, bacteria and viruses, creating a healthy environment without producing any harmful byproducts. iWave's technology generates the same ions that nature creates with lightening, waterfalls, and ocean waves, etc. The only difference between the iWave's technology and nature is that the iWave does it without developing harmful ozone.

"Noting a lack of understanding of the options available," said Bob Zimmermann, president of Johnstone Supply's Kenilworth Group, "we started taking meetings with local school superintendents to identify the best solutions for various types of spaces and needs."

Many schools throughout New Jersey and dozens across the US have already installed these systems to provide an extra level of protection for students and faculty to safely return to live, in-person classes making, it a central component of their preparedness and response plan.

HVAC technical expert and trainer, Frank Taverna also created a short video to explain the differences in technologies and the science behind the solution.

Although there is no silver bullet to stopping the spread of Covid-19, many are breathing a little easier knowing that tested solutions are being implemented to help get us back to the lives we all knew.

Pompano Beach CRA Announces a Special McNab House Presentation

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Pompano Beach residents are encouraged to attend a special presentation about the McNab House & Botanical Gardens during a virtual Pompano Beach CRA meeting on Tuesday, September 15, 2020 at 1 p.m. The presentation will introduce Randy Hollingworth, Director of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Urban Design from the award-winning, international firm Bermello, Ajamil and Partners (B&A).

Hollingworth will explore potential concepts generally found in botanical gardens based upon his extensive experience in creating outstanding public parks and open spaces.

To view the meeting please visit, https://bit.ly/35mPz30.

"Randy will be discussing a variety of space-compatible elements for potential inclusion in a botanical garden. This phase begins with a clean slate and no preconceived notions," said Nguyen Tran, Pompano Beach CRA Director. "We are excited to share the possibilities and to launch the public input workshops."

The McNab House, built in 1926, was moved from its original location on Atlantic Boulevard, when the owners sold the land for development. With the support of the Pompano Beach Historical Society, the Pompano Beach CRA saved the historic home, moving it several blocks to McNab Park, with the vision of transforming the home into a restaurant and the surrounding land into a botanical garden. The goal of the McNab House and Botanical Gardens project is to continue economic growth with the East CRA and Atlantic Boulevard corridor. Activation of the park will encourage more pedestrian activity and create a unique attraction with park elements for residents and visitors to enjoy.

"There is tremendous potential for the McNab House & Botanical Gardens to become a premiere attraction in Broward County," explained Hollingworth, who is a Partner at B&A, the Miami-based firm that is contracted to design the botanical garden. "During this presentation, we will not be focusing on specifics, instead exploring an array of visual concepts that have been successfully implemented in similarly-sized urban parks and open spaces. I join this project with no preconceived notions, just stunning possibilities. And I look forward to robust public input leading to the creation of an amenity-filled botanical garden."

The Pompano Beach CRA offered multiple public meeting opportunities during Phase 1 and is tentatively targeting November 2020 for an initial community stakeholder meeting to discuss the design process.

About the Pompano Beach CRA:

The City of Pompano Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) was created in 1989. It has two dependent districts: Northwest CRA and East CRA established by City government for the purpose of carrying out redevelopment activities that include reducing or eliminating blight, improving the economic health of an area, and encouraging public and private investments in a CRA district.

The Northwest CRA District covers an area of about 3,084 acres encompassing a large part of the western portion of the City between Atlantic Boulevard and Copans Road generally west of Dixie Highway. The Pompano Beach CRA is funded through Tax Increment Financing (TIF). The funds are collected as property values increase and a portion of that increase is captured by the Agency. TIF raises revenue for redevelopment efforts without raising taxes.

Capital Industries Shares When to Repair Concrete Ceilings

MATTITUCK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Capital Industries, a leader in concrete ceiling crack repair, wants industries to be aware of how recognizing ceiling cracks can save time, money, and valuable property.

Structures are subject to movement over time. Causes of movement include a range of circumstances, including groundwork settlement, weather, moisture, and more. In general, ceiling cracks are the result of either structural damage or aging.

Causes of Ceiling Cracks

1. Moisture
Heavy moisture can significantly damage a ceiling, resulting in water seeping through the roof or upper floors and trickling down. After the initial damage, temperature fluctuation can make matters worse. Moisture will make structures expand and falling temperatures will cause them to contract. These are stressors on materials and joints, leading to cracks.

2. Excessive Weight
Cracked ceilings can be the result of the space above bearing too much weight. The aftereffect of misguided construction can cause it. It could also happen because the installed drywall isn't compatible with other building materials in the foundation.

3. Inferior Foundation

A faulty foundation can influence any number of structural issues. If the foundation's integrity is compromised, it impacts every component of the property. The slightest settling or movement in the foundation potentially alters load-bearing beams and creates cracks.

Types of Ceiling Cracks

1. Spider Web Cracks
These cracks branch out from a center point. If these defects are more than 1/16th of an inch wide, you could be looking at a structural problem that needs cement ceiling repair products.

2. Matching Vertical Cracks
Vertical cracks are usually associated with weak wall studs. Sometimes it happens when a natural disaster jars the settling of the property loose over time. Again, size is a critical factor.

3. Cracks Along Edges
Often the result of natural settling, cracks that run along a ceiling's entire length should be addressed.

Using an Industrial Strength Ceiling Crack Product

We work hard to be leaders in concrete ceiling repair products for commercial use. Our inventory repairs cracked ceilings to freezer floors, and beyond. Our VO-500 is a pre-packaged solution for repairing masonry, brick, and concrete. It contains a low-density powder and an acrylic polymer liquid. The combo is great for vertical and overhead patching and repair. There's also Kwik-Bond, a component designed to manage floor repair.

If experiencing any structural problems in the ceiling or anywhere else, call Capital Industries at 631-298-6300. One of our experienced techs is ready to find the right concrete repair product to fix the situation.

Construction begins in Queen Creek on a $5.8 million dual tenant building for Gerber Collision & Glass, one of the largest collision shop consolidators in North America, and privately-held Enterprise Holdings, known publicly as Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Both companies remain bullish on the valley as they break ground on 3.8 acres after two years of planning.

The project will include a 17,000 square foot building for Gerber Collision & Glass, and a new Enterprise rental facility, with car wash, on the adjacent 1.5-acre property. Vehicle repair and maintenance is considered an essential service by the Federal government.

"You still have to get your vehicles fixed," says John Rang, the Arizona developer leading the project with construction management firm GCON Inc., an Arizona-based company.

"Even through this pandemic, we continue to see a steady increase in demand for transportation services, particularly in our local markets like Queen Creek, Gilbert and San Tan Valley," says Kevin Cooper, Vice President of Arizona for Enterprise Holdings. "This newly developed property will provide us with greater capacity and a professional facility for our customers and employees."

The GCON pre-construction design team utilizes Building Information Modeling known as BIM360, a technology that allows for highly accurate prototyping and construction coordination, to streamline construction. Inside, the building will feature air-conditioned repair work bays - a rare feature for the vehicle repair industry. This is expected to draw high quality, experienced technicians who appreciate cooler working conditions. The building is equipped with state-of-the-art paint and prep booths valued at $500,000 and repair equipment valued at $250,000.

"The commitment of these companies to this exciting development is a testament to the explosive growth and opportunity of the Queen Creek/San Tan Valley trade district," states Rick Breuer, a commercial broker focused on automotive-commercial real estate.

Gerber Collision & Glass was founded in Chicago, IL in 1937 as a single auto glass and trim shop, and has grown to be part of the largest auto collision and glass repair companies in the United States and Canada. The company's optimism for expanded growth in the Valley hasn't waned, even in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and continues with plans for further investment across Arizona.

About Gerber Collision & Glass, and GCON Inc.:

Founded in 1937 by Phil Gerber, Gerber Collision & Glass has provided quality auto collision and glass repair service for more than 80 years.

GCON is a dynamic, full-service construction management company serving a diverse portfolio of clients across the U.S., including high-tech/mission critical to healthcare, education, office, industrial, retail, multi-family, and more.

Current Builders Tests Next Generation Construction Tech Tools

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Current Builders (www.currentbuilders.com) was one of the first construction companies to embrace BIM (Building Information Modeling), now the innovative construction company is evaluating a variety of advanced tech tools, seeking the best new solutions to improve productivity. The award-winning company, based in south Florida, recently opened a new office in Sarasota. This expansion has fueled the need for even more advanced software, wearables and robotics to effectively enhance integration and coordination.

"Current Builders' Innovation Team evaluates the newest tech advances and determines which products we should incorporate on our projects," explained CEO Michael C. Taylor. "Recently, we invested in several new platforms to increase our productivity and support our company's expansion."

Current Builders has incorporated several new programs including Tekla Structures, MWF Pro for wood framing, Open Space AI, Procore Coordination Issues, Panels Plus semi-automated wall panel equipment, and the Trimble Robotic Total Station.

"Powerful and collaborative platforms that solve industry issues in a dynamic new way intrigue me the most," said Kar Ho, BIM / Virtual Design & Construction Manager.

Tekla Structures appealed to Ho because it helps the company be faster and more accurate with its estimation process, while also allowing team members outside the BIM realm to use the program.

"This 3-D structural program allows accurate modeling before the construction phase," he explained. "And now, we can react faster to required changes while we are still in pre-con, saving us time and money."

Current Builder's expansion to the west coast of Florida meant a dramatic increase in wood frame construction. To better support this, they have been utilizing MWF PRO, a new modeling software.

"This Revit add-on gives us an increased level of detail, which is necessary as wood is much more sensitive than our standard concrete forms," Ho explained. "What we have found particularly beneficial is the intertrade clash detection. Now, our trade partners are well-aware of wood components and can coordinate their vertical penetrations to avoid wood studs. It also allows us to create accurate cut and count estimates for the reduction of wood cost and waste."

In addition, Current Builders has purchased semi-automated wall panel equipment from industry leader Panels Plus. Prefabricated wall panels produced in a controlled environment are an excellent alternative to traditional stick framing as they shorten the production schedule, reduce material waste and lower on-site labor costs.

Another tech addition inspired by the west coast expansion is the use of Open Space AI. This 360-degree camera is installed on a team member's hard hat, and as he walks around, the job site is fully captured and mapped to the plans automatically.

"This tech tool allows us to manage field-to-office communication in a much more efficient manner," said Ho. "Now, we can document the site frequently with ease and see what has been accomplished every day. This provides upper management with faster access, allowing quicker decisions based on field conditions."

Another software advancement the team has been employing is the Coordination Issues tool from Procore, a popular software utilized by Current Builders and throughout the industry. This new add-on graphically organizes every documentation about an issue with the click of a button.

"Before we had to sort through numerous documents, now all of that is synched and stored in one place so we can see every issue and its resolution status," he said. "So, if there is a wall with a clash regarding the HVAC, we can see everything about this issue at once, saving us a tremendous amount of time. The biggest time saver is being able to set a pin on a plan so the superintendent can figure out where the issues are graphically and not have to search amongst hundreds of documents to find it."

Saving time is one of the key reasons to implement new tech and for Ho, the Trimble Robotic Station is a terrific tool especially on massive projects such as the Uptown Boca development, which features both retail and residential components being built simultaneously.

"Once all the buildings are uploaded into the model, the robot will find anything you are looking for. At Modera Cornerstone, we are using precast panels on the garage. These panels slide in and are held in place with big bolt imbeds, but the bolts are installed in dirt long before the panels arrive, which can make them difficult to locate and install especially with an installation tolerance of 1/4 inch. But the Total Station can find them easily, saving us time. On that project, we did not miss one imbed location which is usually par for the course in that kind of construction."

For Ho, the rapid advancement of new tech is making the construction industry one of the hottest fields of the future. "The evolution of construction over the next decade will truly be historic," said Ho. "While there will be many futuristic-style advances, the growth of software platforms that support pre-construction and site coordination are also revolutionary. Being part of the process of evaluating what applications will be most beneficial and cost-effective for our company is truly exciting."

Harvest Power Featured on 2020 Top Solar Contractors List

ISLIP TERRACE, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Although the COVID-19 pandemic is the immediate crisis unfolding at the moment, mitigating climate change is also an urgent issue. Solar PV installation is one way to help reduce greenhouse gases from fossil fuels. Solar Power World has recognized the efforts of solar contractors across the United States in its 2020 Top Solar Contractors list, where local solar installer Harvest Power achieved a rank of 156 out of 407 companies.

The Top Solar Contractors list is developed each year by Solar Power World to honor the work of solar installers big and small. Solar firms in the utility, commercial and residential markets are ranked by number of kilowatts installed in the previous year. Companies are grouped and listed by specific service (developers, electrical subcontractors, EPCs, installation subcontractors, rooftop installers), markets and states.

"The Solar Power World team is so pleased to highlight more than 400 companies on the 2020 Top Solar Contractors list, especially during this unprecedented time," said Kelsey Misbrener, senior editor of Solar Power World. "All contractors featured on the 2020 list reported strong 2019 installation numbers and are continuing to stand tall this year."

This year's collection of over 400 Top Solar Contractors is facing obstacles that this industry has never seen before. The first quarter of 2020 was the country's biggest ever, with 3.6 GW of new solar capacity added. But COVID-19 impacts showed their force in Q2, and Wood Mackenzie is forecasting residential and non-residential markets will see 25% and 38% decreases in year-over-year installation volumes this year.

In addition to persevering through this turbulent time in history, the 2020 class of Top Solar Contractors is continuing to innovate by adding energy storage to their offerings. Over one-third of this year's contractors are also featured on the exclusive 2020 Top Solar + Storage Installers list.

"Once again, we are proud to be listed in the Solar Power World ranking of the top solar companies in the US. This ranking is a direct result of the hard work of our team and our great customers, which we appreciate working with," said Carlo Lanza CEO Harvest Power.

About Harvest Power:

Harvest Power employs 63 workers who installed 5,624.4KW of solar power in 2019. Since its founding in 2008, the company has installed 31,500.0 KW of solar. The company takes pride in its stellar safety and client satisfaction record while staying on the cutting edge of new solar technology.

As Campgrounds Begin to Open in Michigan Turner is Providing Post-COVID Peace of Mind

LAKE ORION, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- As the State of Michigan begins to allow the opening of its city, county, state and private parks and camping facilities, the biggest question people are asking post-COVID is "how safe are the bathroom facilities at these parks and campgrounds?" While Turner Sanitation can't answer that question for all re-opening parks and campgrounds, it CAN answer that question for those facilities using Turner portable facilities and sanitation services. That answer is a resounding "very safe and very clean!"

Most RV parks, campgrounds and government-sponsored parks have the need for outdoor facilities for RV and boat owners, as well as hikers and anyone using a facility for one day or for weeks. It's the only option available for people who use them, outside of RV holding tanks. But with everyone concerned about the cleanliness of outdoor bathroom facilities, especially now in the midst of our COVID crisis, Turner Sanitation is going the extra mile for its customers.

"We have always cleaned portable facilities more than has been previously required, but we've doubled down on our efforts to make sure we provide the very cleanest options for our clients," said Turner Sanitation owner Darin Gross. "We are extremely familiar with the state laws on bathroom cleanliness, but we will be making more frequent visits to clean and sanitize facilities to put our clients and the public at ease."

Many parks and RV parks are re-opening on a staggered basis because of the work that's needed to bring its facilities up to a post-COVID level. Cleaner bathrooms will also encourage people to come back to the parks and campgrounds, with some potential visitors concerned about the continued spreading of COVID. But for weeks now, Turner Sanitation has been sanitizing park and RV facilities enabling them to open quicker and give visitors peace of mind. "Our services have really put RV Park owners and those running government parks more at ease," said Gross. "If the openings aren't done properly and not meeting state guidelines, they can be heavily fined. That's where we come in."

Turner has been providing portable bathroom facilities in Michigan and has been called upon to clean RV park and campground facilities for more than 40 years.

To inquire about how you can benefit from Turner Sanitation's experience, call 248-693-0998 or go to https://turnersanitationlo.com/.

Washing Stations, Septic Services a Priority for Homes and Businesses Entering Michigan’s New Normal

LAKE ORION, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- As Michigan envisions a day soon when coming out of the COVID-19 crisis means seeking normal in a climate that is anything but, there will be a number of services and businesses in very high demand. But the crisis has thrust to the forefront some companies, like Turner Sanitation, whose role in our communities have been enhanced by the needs we'll have in Michigan's new normal.

"Sanitation is going to be a very big thing coming out of this. I think this state is going to be asking not only how are we going to stay clean but will allow us to come up with new protocols," said Turner Sanitation owner and entrepreneur Darin Gross, who purchased the family-owned company in January. "What we offer now is EPA environmentally-and solutions on a very high level."

Two of the demands coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic has already meant Turner Sanitation is trying to fast track new hand washing stations, because the entirety of Turner's inventory has been rented by Amazon in Shelby Township.

Another of Turner's offerings, septic services, are already seeing a large increase in home visits after months of families being home together during the state's stay-at-home order. The company has made numerous emergency service visits to fix potentially limit-pushing home septic tanks, which were not built for the amount of use they've seen.

The company's best-known offering, portable restrooms, is also expected to see increased demand because of Turner Sanitation's dedication to their cleanliness.

"I heard a lot of companies don't clean enough. That's certainly not our issue," said Gross. "I can definitely see, however, an increase in how many times per week we will be replenishing hand washing liquid and cleaning the facilities, probably two or three times more than we have in the past." As for reluctance by some to use portable facilities post-COVID-19, Gross says when it comes to locations Turner places its restrooms, people don't really have a choice such at places like outdoor events, festivals and recreational parks.

"We're a company with a great reputation and have employees who have been here for more than 20 years," said Gross. "I'm very proud to have the quality of people here at Turner and am confident we will continue to provide the high-quality services needed by our community."

Current Builders Announces New Affordable Senior Housing Project in Manatee County

SARASOTA, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Current Builders today announced their newest project Reef at Riviera, located in Manatee County, Florida.

Green Buildings Are Not Sustainable, says Janis Birkeland

MELBOURNE, Australia /ScoopCloud/ -- According to Dr Janis Birkeland, the originator of net-positive design, while sustainable 'green' buildings are making great strides, they still do more damage than no building at all.

"Each green building increases the problem," she says. "Even though there are numerous sustainable building initiatives and processes that purport to contribute to sustainability, the industry is still analyzing and assessing all the wrong things in the wrong ways. For example, there are dozens of things fundamentally wrong with green building rating tools."

However, Birkeland also says that construction, which causes so much environmental destruction, could actually save nature and deliver social and environmental justice.

"True sustainability is possible and affordable, but not if we use the same strategies."

Dr Birkeland's new book, "Net-Positive Design and Sustainable Urban Development" (ISBN 9780367258566), explains why current theories and practices are not effective. It systematically dissects these failings and reverses their underlying concepts.

The book builds on this critique to show how urban development can give back more than it takes over its lifecycle. It provides examples to show that development can increase - rather than just repair, restore or regenerate - overall social, ecological and economic sustainability.

"Technically speaking, in a net-positive city, nature's 'positive' ecological footprint would exceed humanity's 'negative' ecological footprint, relative to pre-urban conditions.

"Positive Development theory has led to new methods, strategies and tools that enable professionals and students to design (and assess) net-positive buildings and environments that increase the natural and social life support systems," said Dr Birkeland.

Net-Positive Design presents game-changing sustainable planning analyses, a collaborative design process and a free STARfish computer app. The STARfish enables designers to go beyond zero (or recycling systems) to create designs that yield net-positive environments. It defines new criteria and benchmarks based on fixed, objective biophysical conditions, rather than relative to conventional (unsustainable) buildings or current conditions.

"The new approach not only up-ends building assessment tools, it integrates assessment and measurement with design. It synthesises the 'hard' technical and 'soft' creative dimensions in planning, decision making and design."

Creating and measuring 'beyond zero' cumulative impacts is no easy task but, thanks to Dr Birkeland's insights and dedication to sustainable development, it has now been done and is available around the world for educators and professionals alike.

Authoritative comments about Net-Positive Design:

"From the author who developed Positive Development theory comes another tour de force - a delightful guide for those of us disappointed with the direction of conventional approaches to wicked problems." - Mirek Dymitrow, Lund University and University of Gothenburg, Sweden.

"By re-engineering our approach to urban development, Birkeland reveals how cities could become our most powerful resource in reversing the trends associated with climate change...Essential reading for all decision makers." - Dr Kathi Holt, architect and strategic urban designer.

Northern White Sand Consortium: Rystad Energy Study Links Sand Proppant Type to Decreased Oil and Gas Production and Profitability

HOUSTON, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- The Northern White Sand Consortium (NWSC), a subgroup of industry participants, formed under the Wisconsin Industrial Sand Association, announced today that a report by Rystad Energy examining 800 Shale Oil wells completed using in-basin sand, across 7 operators in the Permian basin, indicates close to 50% have seen a negative economic impact compared to wells completed using Northern White Sand (NWS).

Up to 85% are nearing negative impact in less than 1 year of production. Upfront savings doesn't appear to offset the impact in just the first year of the well's life.

The impact is not limited to investors, continued short-term economic thinking will affect long-term energy independence, American jobs, and billions of dollars for investors & mineral rights holders.

Accelerating decline rates in shale wells have drawn attention. Many theories have been posed such as well spacing, reservoir pressure drawdowns etc., but one clear potential cause has been virtually ignored since the hydraulic fracturing revolution began, Proppant Type.

Over the past several years, industry observers have recognized well production decline rates are accelerating at a higher rate than ever. The quickening decline rates have occurred simultaneously with the migration away from higher quality proppants. (A Proppant is a granular solid material, typically sand, intended to keep well fractures open.)

The incentive for the switch is understandable since proppant sand cost usually makes up 10% of the completion costs of a horizontal well. High quality Northern White Sand (NWS) is often railed or barged to the play. By avoiding these shipping costs, operators can save $300-$500k per well initially, (around 3-5% inclusive of drilling costs).

According to findings in the Rystad Energy study, what looked like a good business decision may have ended up causing significant negative impact on outcomes, should well productivity rates continue to rapidly decline. NWSC believes this indicates that the fundamental impact that proppants have on hydrocarbon flow and production are the single most significant factor.

SunBug Solar Celebrates the Milestone of Serving 2000 Customers

WESTFIELD, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- SunBug Solar, a Massachusetts solar energy provider with offices in Westfield and Arlington Mass., is pleased to announce the installation of its 2,000th customer. John Hoogstraten and Eileen Keegan, a couple residing in Williamsburg, Mass., are SunBug's 2,000th clients, having gone solar not once, but twice.

Hoogstraten,​ a semi-retired contractor, was skeptical at first when first introduced to photovoltaic (PV) solar through the Solarize Mass program in 2014. The program, run by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, helps municipalities design, promote, and execute limited- time group programs that educate residents on the benefits of green energy while offering them discounts on installations. Keegan encouraged her husband to overcome that initial skepticism and look into the matter further.

"I figured there was no harm in learning more, so I went to one of their information sessions," said Hoogstraten. "I signed up for a site assessment and we ran the numbers."

When John and Eileen realized that the system would pay for itself in about seven years, they began the process to have his first solar energy system installed. They chose to invest in a plan that would deliver just enough energy to meet their home's consumption.

The system proved profitable for the energy needs of their home, but only when supplemented with the firewood John chops himself. Because John and Eileen plan to age-in-place, and are looking toward a time when chopping wood is no longer feasible nor desirable. Their plan to add air source heat pumps (ASHPs) for heating meant their electric load would increase, and wanted to add additional PV so as to avoid as much fossil fuel use as possible.

Again, through MassCEC they learned about the Solar Access Program, an effort to help homeowners install ASHPs in conjunction with solar. While they did not initially qualify, Dan Britton, a member of the residential solar design team at SunBug's Westfield location encouraged them to not give up. They might qualify in the next calendar year.

"They mentioned they were entering semi-retirement and expected their 2019 income might qualify, so I suggested they can re-apply after they file their 2019 taxes," said Britton.

By March of this year, John and Eileen confirmed their eligibility and the conversation with SunBug continued.

In the end, they opted for an additional 2.5 kW of roof mounted solar and a Tesla Powerwall battery for backup for when the grid goes down. SunBug system designer Dan Britton said it was a clear choice. "We decided to add a battery backup because all of the stars were in alignment: they have a dry, clean basement with space for a battery adjacent to their electric panel, they can include the battery system in the Mass Solar Loan to get additional income-based loan support, they can take advantage of the adder for batteries in the state's SMART solar incentive, and they can opt in to the utility's Connected Solutions program to get additional revenue to offset the battery cost."

SunBug is thrilled to be able to count such committed renewable energy enthusiasts at their 2000th customer, and as a show of appreciation is happily discounting the ​couple​ $2000 off their new solar electric system. ​"That discount will be an enormous help to us as we implement these enhancements to our home and quality of life," said Hoogstraten. "We are thrilled to be doing business with SunBug, tickled to find ourselves in the position of being your 2000th customer, and deeply grateful for this gesture."

"Congratulations to SunBug Solar on their 2000th installation," said MassCEC CEO Steve Pike. "MassCEC is pleased to partner with John Hoogstraten and Eileen Keegan, and 5,500 other Massachusetts residents who have accessed clean, renewable solar power through the Mass Solar Loan program."

About SunBug Solar:

SunBug Solar is a local, Massachusetts owned-and-operated solar energy consulting and installation company with offices in Arlington and Westfield, MA. SunBug Solar creates positive environmental and social impact by exemplifying our core values of responsiveness, resourcefulness, and reliability with our customers, within our industry, and among our teammates.

Chelsea Lighting Celebrates Over 25 Years with Expansion

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Chelsea Lighting (the "Company") is pleased to announce the launch of its dedicated Power over Ethernet Lighting and Controls specialty division to provide leading technology solutions to the real estate, design and construction community.

After completing several of the most high-profile Power over Ethernet (PoE) projects in the country, the Company is expanding its capabilities as "smart building" initiatives and energy code requirements continue to drive technology changes to the lighting and lighting controls industry. With expertise in lighting controls, PoE lighting and project management, Catherine Lomanto has been promoted to manage the Power over Ethernet Lighting and Controls Division, under the leadership of industry veteran, Glenn Buchholz.

"We are excited to be at the forefront of PoE technology which has only just started to change the way lighting and lighting controls can be used to collect data and create efficiencies that benefit both building owners and tenants," stated Tom Ike, Chelsea Lighting's President.

"Since our Lighting Controls Division has seen incredible growth over the last 7 years with lighting control systems now in every office building, the next logical step has been to connect these devices in ways that allow for businesses to further maximize energy savings, optimize space and improve employee well-being and productivity. Our new dedicated PoE division will help guide our clients in understanding and implementing this technology," stated Mr. Ike.

About Power over Ethernet (PoE)

PoE lighting, driven by LED technology and a subset of the Internet of Things (IoT), refers to the intersection of lighting and technology through the use of low-voltage data cabling and network switches to power light fixtures and transmit data between the light fixtures, sensors and the control system software.
