If you are reading this blog then you already have the answer to that question. You have found the best starting point in the United States. I am a Regional Representative for a company called Eco-$mart, Inc. which specializes in green building products and technologies such as grey water recovery systems, rainwater collection systems, solar technologies, water cooled HVAC retrofit units, Eco-flector radiant barrier window screens, L.E.D. light retrofits, and many many more. . There are thousands of green products on our website at http://www.eco-smart.com Many of these products can easily retrofit into existing commercial as well as residential homes.

With the new economic stimulus package that President Obama approved, there are many advantages and benefits to implementing “green” products and technologies into your business right now. There are many tax breaks and incentives available for a variety of options. If you couple those benefits with our competative leasing options, you will see a ROI in only a few short years. If you own a business or are responsible for implementing any facilties changes, please contact me. I will come to your business location (within my N. FL. territory) and present a detailed presentation outlining the many benefits that these green retrofit products provide.

If you are taking the time to read this blog, there may be several questions going through your mind right now from that statement. I would like to answer two of them.

1. The question - ”Why is a residential design firm offering website hosting?” The answer - Home Options Design also provided website design services and offering website hosting developed from the desire to offer this service to my clients as I designed their websites. If you know anything about website hosting you know there are many companies to choose from and the price ranges offered can be just as many. This is why I got into the hosting side of the business so I can offer a great product for a very reasonable rate (not only to my clients, but to everyone). One year of basic website hosting is only $10.00 per month or $120.00 for the full year. 
2. The question – “How can a computer system that runs twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, be energy efficient?” The answer - Wind harvesting technology powers and cools the website servers. Allowing wind to generate power is a “no-brainer” This technology actually produces 30% more energy than the amount required. That’s a total generation capacity of 130%! Wind technology is a very energy efficient method of producing energy.

The typical situation: If you live in a typical residential home in America then I am sure you have this situation. You are standing at your bathroom sink fixing to wash your face, shave, or some other task where you desire to utilize hot water. After turning on the hot water side of the faucet, you hold your hand underneath the running water to wait for the hot water to make it through the plumbing system and actully come out of the faucet. This process can take anywhere from a few seconds up to a minute or so.  All the while water is being wasted and furthermore if you are on a municipal sewer system, you are paying for sewage fees on this perfectly good and wasted water.

This same situation often occurs while preparing for a shower and wastes even more water.

The inexpensive and easy solution is a residential hot water recirculation system!  A residential hot water recirculation system can be a very cost effective and easy solution to this problem.  

The benefits are

• Saves energy and water
• adds convenience
• has a 15 year life expectancy
• extends water heater life
• reduces sewer pollution
• reduces air pollution
• easily installed on existing plumbing systems or in new homes
• high return on investment (R.O.I.)

Here is a diagram of how the system works:

Here is a diagram of how easily it is installed:

What are a few of the benefits of a grey water recycling system?

• Conserve water and reduce sewage (approx. 30%)
• Save money on sewage charges
• Reduce demand on a well
• Reduce load on a septic system
• Help conserve one of our most precious resources
• Build a better future for our children

Why is grey water recycling so effective?
Most of the water that a household uses can be attributed to showers, baths, and toilet flushing. When you recover your shower, bath, and faucet water for reuse as toilet flushing water, you are reusing one of the most wasted resources in a household. This makes the savings potential very high and thus a grey water recovery system very effective.

Here is a breakdown on the percentages of water used by a typical household.

• 5% – water used for regular cleaning
• 10% – water used for kitchen and drinking
• 20% – water used for laundry
• 30% – water used for toilet flushing
• 35% – water used for showers and baths

What if I do not collect enough grey water to flush the toilet?
In the rare event you have not collected enough water to flush the toilet, the grey water system will use potable water from your existing water supply line.

What system do you recommend and where can I get it?
I recommend grey water recycling systems by Brac Systems, Inc.
