High Performance Building Products
We entered into a contract with Omni Block in 2020 to provide representation for their unique building product, which offers significant energy performance savings vs traditional building materials. The beauty of Omni Block lies in its simplicity.
The form factor of a standard CMU (cinder block) is used, with R19+ expanded polystyrene foam insulation incorporated into multiple layers within the block, creating a layer of 'thermal mass' that is within the building envelope.
This moderates the daily temperature cycling outside the building, resulting in increased comfort for occupants at more modest HVAC settings than a typical building. Bottom line: cut the size of your HVAC system in half, while also cutting heating and cooling costs by a similar amount.

Energy Consulting
We conceived and executed a two year citywide energy efficiency project funded by the Department of Energy for Mountain Park, GA. Wrote ARRA grant proposal securing maximum funding of $300,000 and guided city officials through implementation, performing major energy efficiency upgrades on 1/4 of the homes in the city and two city buildings.
Program recognized as statewide 'Success Story' for financial incentive programs (FIP's) by Georgia Environmental Finance Authority. Presented overview of project at the 2012 Greenprints Conference at the Georgia Tech Research Institute.
Zentech's Atlanta recycling center ran on 100% solar electric power from August 1 2005 through May 2006. We designed and built the 'power plant' from 100% recycled equipment, from the photovoltaic (PV) array to every inverter, battery and wire. We were the first business in Georgia to run on 100% solar power.
