Solar lockers***

Used to let electric bikes be stored and charged at the same time. This will allow 3 times the amount of battery power, and so they don't have to worry about taking their bikes into the store with them b/c of security.

Brief Description: They offer fabrics, trimmings, and furniture. Primarily used for residential purposes. Highland Court is their line of fabrics that are the elite of what they offer. Techstyle is their line that can be custom made. Their furniture line is called Cavalier furniture. They are a worldwide company, so they provide many jobs for people.

Sustainability: There is no mention of sustainability on their website. This is a HUGE negative, b/c they are the first company I've found that doesn't have a single thing on sustainability. Many people are starting to go green, so they need to make sure to jump on the band wagon, or else they could lose business. I do not want to use this company since they don't have anything sustainable.

Office: 800-426-1626 Cell: 541-337-3334 Email:jason@ibroof.com

Brief Description: Installing a rooftop garden is a lot of tedious and pricy work, so you have to make sure it's done correctly. But it gives long term benefits to the environment and the building. The main thing to keep a green roof successful is a durable waterproofing system. This will help protect the building from leakage, mold, and any other types of bacteria from ruining the building more than helping it. Green roofs are typically used on flat or low pitched roofs. They also offer a maintenance program to allow people to understand the easy maintenance of their structure. If a major problem occurs, like leakage, they ask you to contact their company immediately.

This system can be installed on 90% of existing rooftops eliminating messy tear offs.

100% lifetime warranty! The membrane is Class A fire resistant.

Good Fact: The company refers contractors b/c building a green roof is not an everyday affair. In fact, it only happens about once every 10-15 years that someone would want to re-roof their home.

Sustainability: This allows less heat island effects for a city, helps reduce CFCs into cities and more CO2 into the air. They are 100% recyclable. It reflects 90% of heat that normally enters your home allowing much savings on energy bills.

Brief Description: They are the lead solar provider in Louisiana. They distribute, design, sell and install photovoltaic modules, solar water heaters and solar pool heaters in the south. They offer classes to further your education from the basics of what is solar energy to how to install and calculate.

The solar panels have a 25 yr. warranty. Their most popular panel is the 230 watt Solar World Panel.

Their SMARTRE line is a solar backup system that allows power for when there is an outage such as a hurricane or brownout. These can be inside or outside. 5 year warranty.

Great Fact: The federal government will give you a 30% credit towards your taxes plus a $2,000 cap. Now residences can get the same tax credits as businesses do. Also, Louisiana gives an ADDITIONAL %50 off each system of up to $12,500. With the combination of Federal and State tax deductions, it's an %80 discount!!!!

Example:

Cost of the System: $22,00

50% State Tax Credit: $11,000

30% Federal Tax Credit: $6,600

You Pay: $4,400

Sustainability: With the use of solar panels, this allows less usage of energy from large companies to reduce energy power usage and more with a natural solar environment. It also assists with less energy costs, allowing a family to use these expenses towards other amenities. Also, any extra energy produced by the system can be sold back to the energy companies to help promote more usage of natural energy. This all contributes to LEED credits.
