Commercial Gold.....saving energy and money

The commercial facility market is ripe for businesses who provide energy saving services and products. I have no problem with return phone calls and emails when asked, "would you like to learn about saving money and energy?" many businesses are flush with cash, see and understand how energy upgrades and investments with short R.O.I's can pay them huge returns.
There are many low cost alternatives available to companies to improve and extend the life of HVAC systems, motors and  even lower maintenance cost at the same time. Quantifying savings that really requires no real decision. I have yet to sit across from someone, show them annual savings of thousands of dollars and R.O.I periods of less than 24 months that said "no, we're gonna wait and see". If, that ever happened, my guess is they won't be employed there very long and I will get in the door later. The point here is, take advantage of the commercial market, but do not approach it without being educated first. 411 Energy Experts has accredited CEA training available both on-line and live. Visit www.411energyexperts.com

People working together can do good things!

I am amazed at how many people I touch in the business world that don't network. Why? I think for most they are just afraid of what good might come from it, twisted, but true! The good news is there are also a lot of people who are great at it and you're the ones I want to talk too.
 I have found the in the energy auditing world working together with other professional has not only given me more good friend, but has opened my eyes to many other opportunities and helped me through figuring out some tough technical problems with my customers and students.
After some hard thought and pushing the boss, I am now proud to announce the affiliate network portal at 411 Energy Experts is going to be a reality. This will be a place where only qualified professional can gather to network, find energy audit jobs, get free leads from 411, find training jobs, post training jobs, market training and much more.
The biggest reason I pushed this portal was to give my students a place or safe haven to start their new careers as auditors and trainers. Like any new business you needs some help getting going and networking is one area people tend to miss. If your a energy professional , please visit http://www.411energyexperts/ and apply to be a member of our network today! I look forward to seeing you all there.

Renewable Energy....good changes may be on the way!!!

 After an interesting affiliate conference call this week with BPI, the fog is starting to clear from the bay. The DOE, in my opinion, looks as if they're going to award BPI the contract for being the national accreditation body which will pave the way to standardization of the energy auditing and retrofitting industry as some of us know it today. Hopefully, after this gets done a lot more people will fall in line and we can have some uniformity and a consistent message. If we have auditors and weatherization contractors all on the same page, following the same standards then we may finally get on the right path to energy efficiency.
 One thing I can say for sure, it is a positive change for our industry and for once the government just might be getting it right, at least for now. If the DOE does not screw this up and gives BPI the contract along with the 800 pound marketing gorilla, i.e public education by the DOE, then we may have a winner!!!

BPI Training now available nationally with 411 Energy Experts

411 Energy Experts CEO Kirstin Pawl announced today that the company is now a proud BPI (Building Performance Institute) training affiliate. I think this is great news for Dallas, Texas and the rest of the country. For one it means I might actually have a job for a while...whew!!!! and the program they have rolled out is impressive. No only does 411 Energy Experts offer great value for the training dollar, but they really did a great job in allowing people looking for a career change or that have been unemployed for some time an opportunity to get back on track in the green work force. 
What I think is really a neat feature of the program is what they are planning to roll out later in 2011. The putting together an affiliate program like no other one I've seen before. Affiliates who join the program will have access to unlimited construction and energy project leads through a national data base program. The affiliate can access the data base for local, state, multiple states or even nationally for project leads. Plus discounted access to training and education, up to date energy news and many other great features......so stay tune for that announcement later this year. Just remember, if you're looking for top shelf BPI training at fair price then visit 411 Energy Experts for all your training and educational needs.
