Greenpro Systems Blends Greening With The Bottom Line

GREENPRO SYSTEMS BLENDS GREENING WITH THE BOTTOM LINE Helping clients significantly reduce their energy costs and carbon footprints Sensible solutions, not airy eco-babble    LAKE TAHOE, CALIF. (July 20, 2009):  Businesses, institutions and organizations everywhere these days talk about going green. But there is feel-good, fuzzy, surface greening. And then there is real greening. Practical, sustainable and cost-effective greening. Greening that drastically reduces CO2 emissions and saves companies astonishing amounts money on high utility costs.    GreenPro Systems delivers this second, practical kind of greening.  The company’s President is Dr. David Mattocks, a National Kellogg Foundation Fellow and international leader in sustainable business practices.  GreenPro provides commercial clients with smart technologies and proven solutions that significantly reduce energy costs and pollution.    According to U.S. Department of Energy research, almost 35 percent of the energy used to run American businesses is unneeded or wasted. Within months of adopting GreenPro recommendations and smart technologies, clients can reduce their energy costs 30 percent and up to 40-60 percent over a couple of years. And GreenPro achieves these savings without confusing techno-talk or airy eco-babble.  What is even better is that GreenPro clients realize a return on their investment in months, not decades.    “We work with companies in a common sense way to make organizations more comfortable, more productive, and more profitable,” said Dr. Mattocks.  “We provide tangible approaches that help organizations reduce expensive energy use in the places where we work, shop, play, worship, educate, and cure.  People — you and I — are a crucial green technology.  How we operate — or fail to operate — a building system costs companies, huge amounts of energy and money.” Let there be light    GreenPro’s flagship service is a retrofit in which older lighting is replaced by GreenPro’s exclusive LED (light emitting diode) systems that the company sustainably and humanely manufactures. A client’s drop in energy use is almost immediate — 35 to 45 percent — and so is the effect on the client’ bottom line. That’s because lighting costs represent 60 percent of the energy bill of the average American business, according to the Department of Energy.    “LED is no longer a light bulb — it’s a light engine,” Mattocks said. “LEDs produce a tremendous amount of light using very little energy.  In some cases, we are reducing lighting  costs by over 90 percent.      Unlike older lighting, LED systems can be designed to emit healthier, full-spectrum, natural light in which people are more productive under because they feel better and see better.    “Your desk can’t be outdoors, but your lighting can be,” Mattocks said. Shrinking footprint    Along with lighting retrofits, GreenPro Systems also helps clients cut down on trash, conserve water, and reduce energy waste by repairing or even upgrading doors, windows, insulation and heating and cooling systems.    Implemented individually or in combination, GreenPro’s services reduce carbon footprints to an extent that may be surprising.    “It’s a common myth,” Mattocks said, “that our trains, planes and automobiles produce the most carbon dioxide. It’s really the buildings we live and work in that produce the most CO2. Every time we turn on the light switch or the thermostat or the hot water, we’re turning on a coal-fired plant that’s producing CO2. Sharing the cost Like any firm, GreenPro can charge clients a fee for services. But, more unusual, GreenPro will enter into a performance agreement with clients in which GreenPro finances a retrofit and then splits client savings on energy bills.    “What we do works.  So when you save — you get paid, and we get paid,” Mattocks said.
