Experience the Energy Saving Benefits of Installing Solar Roof Panel Systems
Solar panel systems are an environmentally friendly alternative for clean, safe, and free thermal heating. Solar energy produces no carbon emissions successfully removing your carbon footprint from the environment helping to eliminate the leading contributing factor in global warming. Every month the sun provides more natural energy than human beings have used throughout history. Solar panel systems can provide up to 80% of your annual hot water use year round.
Our solar panel technology is based upon the same design used in glass vacuum thermo insulated bottles.
These solar panel systems have undergone 25 years of rigid research, design, and manufacturing to come up with the best solar thermal products. Ten million Theromax tubes are currently in use nationwide. Solar panels have a long life span, and the energy savings you recieve will pay for the entire solar panel system several times over its lifespan. There are also government tax credits and grants available helping to cover 30% -70% of the solar roof panel costs to the consumer.
Investing in a solar roof panel system is a cost effective solution for any homeowner or business owner looking to save money on future water heating costs.

Insulating Puts Green Back in Your Pocket
You’re probably aware that upgrading your metal building’s insulation provides many energy-saving benefits, but the savings don’t end there. What you might not know is that the federal government offers a tax deduction for individuals who take proactive steps toward making their commercial buildings more energy efficient.
Thanks to the Energy Policy Act of 2005, metal building owners of both new and existing structures who install energy efficient measures may qualify for a one time tax deduction for these expenses. Eligible energy-saving improvements include new energy-reducing lighting systems, new windows, doors or high quality insulation. Deductions can be as much as $1.80 per square foot for a comprehensive retrofit project, or up to $0.60 per square foot for partial energy upgrades.1
“…some customers reported a
50% savings
in energy costs…”
When compared to initial installation costs – 6” R-19 fiberglass insulation can run as low as $0.50 per square foot – the reasons to improve your insulation now completely outweigh any reasons to wait. Low initial installation expenses, combined with tax benefits and the immediate reductions you’ll see in your energy bills – some customers reported a 50% savings in energy costs – make reinsulating the easiest business decision you could ever make.
For official guidelines surrounding the federal tax deduction, including eligible properties, minimum energy requirements and the steps you must take prior to claiming your deduction, please visit http://www.irs.gov/irb/2006-26_IRB/ar11.html.
By making an investment in energy efficiency, you’re not only reducing your overall operating costs, you’re also keeping some of your hard-earned dollars out of Uncle Sam’s pockets.

Insulating is all about the payback!

Ask yourself these questions:
If the cost of re-insulating your metal building were free, would you do it? Installing an effective fiberglass insulation system in your new or existing metal building may do just that. With a minimal initial expenditure – a large portion of which may be tax deductible – you can create immediate and longterm reductions to energy costs, essentially putting more money back into your pocket. |

“It’s all about the cost of ownership, comfort of employees and payback of the initial investment through the savings of energy costs,” argues Danny (Building Outlet Corp. – CEO). “The initial cost will be absorbed by the immediate reduction in energy bills. In fact, some building owners have reported a 50% savings in energy costs and a complete payback within two years, making re-insulating the easiest business decision one could make.”The “Green” of Fiberglass Insulation In a time when energy prices are at historical highs and other energy-efficient, environmentally conscious “green” products are priced at a premium, fiberglass insulation prices have remained consistent and affordable. In Danny’s experience, fiberglass insulation is the only green product that pays for itself in a short time, an energy management strategy “that is simple to implement and easy to maintain.” |
Although many people may not think of fiberglass insulation as a green product, it has been, in fact, a green product before products were categorized as “green”. Composed of natural ingredients such as sand and recycled glass products, fiberglass insulation has been an effective insulator since the 1930s, drastically reducing overall energy consumption, cutting demand on power plants and the air pollutants they produce as by-products.
Modern advances in the science of fiberglass insulation since the 1930s, in addition to available upgrades to increase durability and strength, provide time-tested yet technologically advanced products for maximum energy efficiency. The available combinations of customizable products are immense, able to suit any building owner’s distinct needs.
Determining the Right Product
“Fiberglass metal building insulation is engineered to meet the unique thermal and acoustical requirements of today’s metal building designers, the ease-of-application needs of builders, plus the cost-control needs of building owners,” states Danny. By determining the right product at the right thickness, or R-Value, builders can create customized insulation that supplies the aforementioned energy savings, in addition to increasing the comfort and safety of a structure through humidity and condensation control and lighting efficiency.
For example, when equipped with a laminated vinyl/polypropylene vapor retardant known as facing, quality fiberglass insulation prevents condensation and mold, allowing for better climate control and a safer interior environment. Facing materials also provide bright, reflective wall and ceiling treatments to increase lighting efficiency and safety, reducing energy bills and costs for additional lighting fixtures. Additionally, reflective fiberglass insulation is designed and manufactured to meet stringent requirements for strength, durability and permeability, and is UL-rated, reducing potential fire damage. High-quality insulation can also contribute to pest control and will produce a better audio environment through sound absorption.
It’s your decision. You can either continue to pay exponentially higher energy costs, drastically alter the comfort level inside your building, or have your building evaluated for ways to increase energy efficiency. Take the steps that will benefit you and your immediate environment. Reduce your carbon footprint and your energy costs by properly insulating your metal structure.

Go Green and Save with Steel Building Insulation
| The growing focus on “going green” is hard to ignore. While you may not be interested in the larger scale of environmental preservation, there is one aspect that should grab your attention: the cost savings that comes with energy conservation. Research has proven that energy consumption is the largest and most controllable operating cost of a commercial building. This fact is becoming even more poignant as energy costs increase at alarming rates, with no signs of slowing.
The Low-Risk Return |
 |
Maybe you’ve recently invested in a new metal building with the assumption that it’s been efficiently insulated. Or perhaps you’ve thought that retrofitting energy-saving measures into your existing structure would cost too much upfront, erasing any savings down the road. These are false assumptions. Many existing metal buildings typically were constructed with only two inches of insulation, a minimal and in most cases insufficient amount, causing you to lose thousands of dollars annually in wasted energy. Likewise, owners of older commercial buildings may be paying 50% more for heating and cooling due to air leakage. As energy costs skyrocket and the price of insulation holds steady, the overall cost of insulating an existing commercial building is negligible compared to the potential cost savings.

How Cutting Energy Costs Makes Good Cents…
Being blessed to be one of the premier Christian Project Finance Groups, in any given month we probably review and analyze more financial statements for Churches, Christian Schools or Colleges than most financial institutions or lenders. Over the last 12 months and with all the economic challenges one common thread that we see everyone is looking for – are ways to manage their budget more efficiently. One category we look at is “add backs & one – time expenses” and 99% of the time in order to saves costs positions or jobs are now being eliminated but one fixed cost item that seems to never get reduced is “Utility or Energy costs”. In fact, in speaking with our clients, this line item actually seems to always increase no matter what procedures or programs are put in place. It really makes no sense to call it a “fixed cost” when most of the time it will always go up so we assume that the reason for being called “fixed” it that is always going to be a budget item.
When it comes to “utility or energy costs”, it seems that we are all in a “catch 22”. If we do not conserve, we are hit with high energy costs, if we do conserve utility companies then have to increase the kwh costs in order to make up for lost revenue. In both scenarios we get hit and up to now there has been really nothing that could be done.
Now we all know that going “Green” is the latest “buzz” word and the future but converting to renewable – solar, geo-thermal or wind takes time and considerable costs. Return on costs for these expenses typically can take (even with the stimulus) at least 3-5 years and that creates challenges in today economic climates.
Last year, we heard about technology that had been around for years but until recently was only available for heavy industry and there was not an application for commercial buildings (Churches, Christian Schools or Colleges) or residential. We hear that even NASA adapted this technology for their large “Vehicle Assembly Building” back in the late 60’s in order to eliminate “power surges”. In implementing this technology one of the unplanned bi-products was that the utility costs decreased by up to 25% but back then with oil prices so low, it was really no big deal. Now we fast forward some 39 years later and we all are faced with high and rising energy costs.
Now the good news:
We know of a company that now has this technology available for large metal buildings including Churches, Christian Schools or Colleges. In fact we got so excited about this technology that we even had it installed in our office. After 3 months, even with higher temperatures last summer we were literally seeing savings that exceed 20% and those savings have continued since then.
If you would have told us 12 months ago that we could lower and reduce our utility costs by this amount, our comment would have been “this sounds like a scam” or no way! We have now joined the “tree hugging” clan and are enjoying the savings each and every month. In fact each month, for a change – we now eagerly await the receipt of our power bill to see how much savings occurred.
By the way our return on cost was less than 10 months!
So if your monthly electric costs are $7500 or higher and would like the opportunity to experience similar savings or better for your Church, Christian School or College, please let us know and we will be more than happy to refer you to this Christian company.
Saving kwh’s makes good cents & that converts into dollars
