Landlords - Slash Your Energy Costs and Attract Green Tenants

For every landlord heating costs are a concern, but there is a way to reduce your energy needs and attract more tenants. By using the newest green technology, you can reduce the amount of fuel or electricity you use to heat your properties. The most effective way to achieve this is by installing solar heating tubes. Landlords that install eco-friendly, climate conscious heating technology will find themselves attracting an a new type of tenant, who are concerned with their ecological impact, either for practical or ideological reasons. As government regulations regarding energy consumption tighten, businesses are under increasing pressure to locate buildings that minimize their impact on the environment. Even residential tenants are showing an increased interest in homes which use green energy.

How Much Benefit Do Solar Heating Tubes Give?

Save Order

The extent of the benefits you can receive by installing solar heating tubes depends primarily on what kind of heating system your building uses. Most buildings can receive the benefits of using solar power to heat their water supply. Owners of buildings which use radiant heat could further benefit by using the solar heating tubes to heat the building itself. Either way, however, you could save a large amount of money, particularly when factored over a long time period.

Solar heating tubes help you cut your heating costs even if your properties are in a colder environment, or one that receives fewer days of direct sunlight. The tubes, cylindrical in shape, are a somewhat new development, and represent a remarkable improvement over the standard, flat solar panels which have been with us since the 1960s. This enables them to be positioned so as to be in prolonged contact with available sunlight, thus increasing their efficiency. Additionally, vacuum tubes are used to ensure optimal insulation, which ensures that hardly any of the collected energy is wasted before being used for heating purposes within your building. The less energy is lost the less you have to rely on electricity or gas, saving you money on your heating expenses.

Spend Today, Save Tomorrow

Although solar technology is nothing new, and environmentally conscious tenants have long encouraged landlords to look for more energy efficient, renewable sources for providing heat and electricity, the means for doing so has only just become available. In order to cut your energy costs and bring in Eco-friendly tenants, you should seriously consider installing the newest solar energy system at your earliest convenience. With the majority of the world's governments on board with the battle against climate change, and many of them providing sizable incentives to landlords green energy is now the hottest thing in the building trade. So why wait?

Despite the fact that using solar power to heat your building's water can save you a lot of money, and even if it wasn't true that going green will help you attract a new breed of tenants, it would still be the right thing to do. You will be saving money and the environment at the same time, and that's not a bad combination at all.

Solar Energy Advantages Disadvantages

Many of us know that solar energy is a good thing, but few really understand why. Therefore, I compiled a comprehensive list of solar energy advantages and disadvantages that will enable you to make an educated decision whether on not Solar Power is right for YOU.

Solar Energy Advantages

Save Order

1. Saves you money

Solar Energy Advantages Disadvantages

After the initial investment has been recovered, the energy from the sun is practically FREE. The recovery/ payback period for this investment can be very short depending on how much electricity your household uses. Financial incentives are available form the government that will reduce your cost. If your system produce more energy than you use, your utility company can buy it from you, building up a credit on your account! This is called net metering. It will save you money on your electricity bill if you have one at all. Solar energy does not require any fuel. It's not affected by the supply and demand of fuel and is therefore not subjected to the ever-increasing price of gasoline. The savings are immediate and for many years to come. The use of solar energy indirectly reduces health costs.
2. Environmentally friendly

Solar Energy is clean, renewable (unlike gas, oil and coal) and sustainable, helping to protect our environment. It does not pollute our air by releasing carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, sulphur dioxide or mercury into the atmosphere like many traditional forms of electrical generations does. Therefore Solar Energy does not contribute to global warming, acid rain or smog. It actively contributes to the decrease of harmful green house gas emissions. It's generated where it is needed. By not using any fuel, Solar Energy does not contribute to the cost and problems of the recovery and transportation of fuel or the storage of radioactive waste.
3. Independent/ semi-independent

Solar Energy can be utilized to offset utility-supplied energy consumption. It does not only reduce your electricity bill, but will also continue to supply your home/ business with electricity in the event of a power outage. A Solar Energy system can operate entirely independent, not requiring a connection to a power or gas grid at all. Systems can therefore be installed in remote locations (like holiday log cabins), making it more practical and cost-effective than the supply of utility electricity to a new site. The use of Solar Energy reduces our dependence on foreign and/or centralized sources of energy, influenced by natural disasters or international events and so contributes to a sustainable future. Solar Energy supports local job and wealth creation, fuelling local economies.
4. Low/ no maintenance

Solar Energy systems are virtually maintenance free and will last for decades. Once installed, there are no recurring costs. They operate silently, have no moving parts, do not release offensive smells and do not require you to add any fuel. More solar panels can easily be added in the future when your family's needs grow.
Solar Energy Disadvantages

The initial cost is the main disadvantage of installing a solar energy system, largely because of the high cost of the semi-conducting materials used in building one. The cost of solar energy is also high compared to non-renewable utility-supplied electricity. As energy shortages are becoming more common, solar energy is becoming more price-competitive. Solar panels require quite a large area for installation to achieve a good level of efficiency. The efficiency of the system also relies on the location of the sun, although this problem can be overcome with the installation of certain components. The production of solar energy is influenced by the presence of clouds or pollution in the air. Similarly, no solar energy will be produced during nighttime although a battery backup system and/or net metering will solve this problem. See http://www.dsireusa.org for details on how net metering allows you to save electricity and money. As far as solar powered cars go - their slower speed might not appeal to everyone caught up in today's rat race.

Exhibit Booth Set-Up

So you've made it through the Trade Show Planning & Budgeting phase, you've learned how to Create Winning Display, and now you are ready for The Trade Show Experience! The key to successful exhibiting is planning. From getting your booth there to booth staffing to the return trip home, we've got tips on planning for success.

Preparing to Go.

Save Order

You have no doubt done extensive planning and prep work before heading to the show including travel planning, staff planning, materials and display set-up planning, and prepping all of the on-site materials from your Trade Show Toolkit Checklist. And because there is so much to keep track of, we advise creating a Show Notebook that you carry with you on the way that includes:

Exhibit Booth Set-Up

Content lists and tracking numbers for all boxes being shipped

Names and contact info for all booth items that you ordered (lead retrieval system, internet access, flowers, cleaning service, etc.)

Travel itineraries and hotel information for booth staff

Cell phone numbers for booth staff

Names and contact info for on-site services

Upon Arrival.

Have plan for booth staff to meet on show floor to help set up your display. When you arrive at the show, make sure all items have arrived at your booth and/or at your hotel. If anything is missing, check with the event center staff to locate missing items or track packages.

Booth Set-Up.

Obey event center rules for set-up! Most convention centers have union staff and require that exhibits needing tools for assembly be set-up by the union staff. If you have such a display, it's a good idea to be present during the assembly to be sure that set-up is being done to your specifications. Allow yourself plenty of time for set-up. You may find that you are missing an item or two or that a light bulb has burned out. Allowing extra time to take care of those unexpected items will save you from running around the morning of the show!

Booth Set-Up Tip

Whenever possible, when choosing to purchase or rent a display, explore your options for displays that do not require tools for assembly. Display manufacturers have become masters of creating even large-scale displays that do not require tools for assembly!

Have Back-Up Plans.

Prior to traveling to the show, it's a good idea to locate key vendors in the vicinity of the event location just in case you need them. Many common items such as photocopying are available through the event company managing the show, but can be pricey. Key vendors may include quick printers, a source for fresh flowers and candy, and a drug store for light bulbs, batteries, tape, aspirin and other essential booth supplies.
