Companies collaborate on project geared towards energy cost savings
Charleston, S.C. – July 13, 2010 -- Green Roof Outfitters, a supplier of eco-friendly green roofing, today announced a partnership with oneZone Solutions. Effective immediately, the two companies have launched a pilot program to study the impact installing a green roof has on energy consumption. As a leading green roof company, GRO will utilize oneZone Solutions software to monitor energy cost savings on buildings equipped with a GRO modular green roof system.
oneZone Solutions has the ability to display real-time and historic energy use for electricity, water, gas and renewable energy systems and its wireless technology lets you access the data from anywhere in the world. This information will provide valuable insight into the green roof performance.
“When meeting clients, the first questions we get are regarding our ability to track energy cost savings,” said Michael Whitfield of Green Roof Outfitters. “oneZone Solutions is the perfect mechanism for us to provide these customers with accurate results.”
While the emergence of green technology has given consumers the ability to reduce their energy costs, it is often difficult to quantify the results. oneZone tackles the problem head on by demonstrating the effect the products have on the bottom line.
“Our goal is to provide the information necessary to make educated choices,” explains Ben Hilke, co-founder of oneZone Solutions. “Our system will validate the investments which are being made in green technology and people will be able to target areas where they are wasting energy. In most cases, they will find their energy consumption decreasing 10% to 50%.”
