Solar + Tesla = Fantastic Summer EventPaul Mansour
Back in July 2016, we hosted an educational event that featured 2 local solar installers plus Tesla Motors. The neighborhood got a chance to learn about how a few simple changes in their household can reduce energy, how solar energy works, and how electric vehicles are becoming more mainstream. Over 100 people attended the event. Many had a chance to ride in a Model S and Model X.

Modern technology is depleting the nonrenewable resources and affecting the future of mankind. The need of electric cars to sort this environmental issue is becoming the topmost priority.
This is a practical plan to fix Australia’s buildings
in a decade. We can act now to halve the energy use
of our buildings, deliver energy freedom to people
and transform our homes and workplaces to provide
greater comfort with lower energy bills.
The vision. The Zero Carbon Australia Buildings Plan is the
first comprehensive, nationwide plan to retrofit Australia’s
buildings. This plan demonstrates how all existing buildings
can reach zero emissions from their operation within ten
years. It sets out how Australia can transform its building
stock to reduce energy bills, generate renewable energy,
add health and comfort to our living spaces, and make our
workplaces more productive.
The rationale. Australia’s existing buildings are not
adequately designed to meet many of the challenges we
face today. Australian houses and workplaces are often
unnecessarily cold in winter, hot in summer, and expensive
to run. We now have the technologies and know-how to
make our buildings far more comfortable, while protecting
us from rising electricity and gas bills.
The science is clear that, in order to reverse climate disruption,
developed nations must begin transitioning their economies
to zero greenhouse gas emissions, starting now. Accordingly,
in June 2010, Beyond Zero Emissions (BZE) launched the
ground-breaking Zero Carbon Australia (ZCA) Stationary
Energy Plan that showed how Australia’s electricity could
be supplied by 100% renewable energy sources within 10
years.
Bristol Energy Cooperative Bond Offer July 2017Andy O'Brien
Bristol Energy Cooperative (BEC) launches a new crowdfund to continue its journey to become a major generator of community-owned clean energy.
The crowdfund target of £1,150,000 will enable BEC to repay previous loans and invest in new micro-renewable generation and storage schemes. These include a 100kW Tesla battery storage project at a new sustainable housing site.
This bond offer builds on the popularity of BEC’s energy schemes where surplus profits are reinvested into the community. BEC has a proven track record of funding and developing renewables, including raising the ambitious sum of £10m last year.

We live in the age of the digital packet. Documents, images, music, phone calls all get chopped up, propelled through networks, and reassembled at the other end according to Internet protocol. So why not TV? Today, IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) is creating headlines all over the world. This mass publicity is the result of numerous instances and stories depicting its humble deployments and its future. IPTV is a very useful system, through which you can receive both TV and video signals along with other multimedia services by means of your Internet connection. In nutshell, it is nothing but a broadband connection and a system to deliver various programs of television using the Internet protocol (i.e., language) over computer networks. It is important to remember that IPTV is not like any ordinary television program broadcast through the Internet, but rather it is unique in itself. Its contour is represented by a closed, proprietary TV system which is similar to the cable services present today. But, in contrast, the delivery of IPTV is made via IP-based secure channels, which result in a sharp increase in content distribution control.

“Integrated Solutions in Sustainable Green Energy and Transportation”Green Parking Council
Mark Gander, GPC Board member and AECOM Director, was among a group of leading scientists, researchers, innovators, officials, and corporate leaders to present recently at the World Green Energy Symposium (WGES) at the City University of New York (CUNY) in New York City.
His “Integrated Solutions in Sustainable Green Energy and Transportation” presentation focused on clean renewable energy; transportation; electric car vehicles; green parking; and place-based strategies such as an eco-district or transit-oriented development that are comprehensive ways to optimize land use efficiency, energy and water and to create jobs.
The campuses of many state universities--with their miles of research laboratories and sports facilities to power, and tens of thousands of students to house--can sometimes resemble a small city. They can require as much energy to run as a small city, as well. Over the past decade, colleges and universities across the country have become concerned about their environmental footprint, and today they are leading the way in developing innovative approaches to rethinking energy infrastructure. Kent State University is installing nearly 45,000 square feet of solar panels on its athletic complex, while Princeton's power plant can now switch to run on biodiesel.
A presentation emphasizing the need to focus on skill development in occupations that people have already trained in rather than relying on the creation of new green jobs.
A new report from Business Roundtable details how companies are pursuing innovative strategies to create jobs, grow the U.S. economy and sustain and enhance the quality of life in America and around the world.
AECOM is thrilled to join our peers in being recognized for our commitment to sustainable practices and greenhouse gas emissions reductions.
Campus Crest is committed to continually
improving the way we design and construct our
buildings for optimal health, comfort, efficiency,
and safety. In 2012, we completed a redesign
of our prototype building (to be implemented
on 2013 construction starts) to align with LEED
and ENERGY STAR. We also installed solar
at select properties across our portfolio with
more in the pipeline.
When Campus Crest acquired an existing property near the OSU campus in Stillwater, OK, the firm knew a major interior renovation would be required to bring the property in line with its existing portfolio.
Led by CEO Ted Rollins, Campus Crest reports a boost in Q2 with net income available to common shareholders of $2.8 million, or 4 cents per share, in the second quarter, swinging from a loss of $676,000, or 2 cents per share, a year earlier.
On Friday, July 5th representatives from Campus Crest Communities (NYSE:CCG) and its operating partner, Copper Beech Townhome Communities, visited the NYSE and ring The Opening Bell®.
Ted Rollins Dedicated to Making Positive Social, Economic and Environmental I...Campus Crest Communities
Ted Rollins along with Mike Hartnett, are coming up with different, creative ways to make positive social, economic and environmental impacts in the communities.

In a partnership with SolarCity, Campus Crest Communities is installing nearly 10,000 solar panels on its
student housing communities in Greeley, Colorado; Flagstaff, Arizona; and Las Cruces, New Mexico. When
complete, the initiative will provide more than 2.3 million kilowatt-hours of renewable power annually and
offset electricity consumption by approximately 50 percent.
SolarCity is a national leader in clean energy products and
services.
“We will eliminate over 80 million pounds of annual carbon
dioxide emissions, the equivalent of taking approximately
7,000 cars off the road for a year,” said Ted Rollins, CEO of
Campus Crest Communities.
“Sustainable living is central to our company philosophy and
business practices, and we are pleased to find that our
residents are equally as passionate about the concept.”
The company is proactively shifting consumption towards clean energy to be a leader in regenerative
practices. Using renewable sources will limit carbon emissions and reduce overall energy costs providing
residents with cleaner, more energy efficient housing.
These projects reflect Campus Crest’s commitment to sustainability and making a positive environmental,
social, and economic impact on the communities in which it owns and operates student housing
developments. To help drive this initiative, the company is partnering with The Institute for the Built
Environment (IBE) at Colorado State University, a multidisciplinary institute whose mission is to foster
stewardship and sustainability of natural and built environments, and the Center for Living Environments and
Regeneration (CLEAR), a 501c(3) non-profit organization focused on global regeneration
(www.clearrevolution.org).
“Campus Crest is showing future generations there are better energy options available by giving students
access to renewable power,” said Toby Corey, Chief Revenue Officer at SolarCity. “It’s possible for many
housing developers to pay less for solar electricity than they pay for utility power and pass on the benefits of
clean power to their tenants—SolarCity has completed more than 100 solar projects for housing
developments in
