Just When Badly Needed The Greener Lease Is Born
A "green lease" is a lease agreement between a landlord and tenant or lender and borrower that incorporates clauses, measures, and practices aimed at improving the sustainability and energy efficiency of a building, structure, or home. These leases collaborate on initiatives that reduce environmental impact, lower utility costs, and enhance occupant well-being. The Greener Lease is a green lease with a much greater purpose and reward! The Greener Lease is a self-funding lease wherein the monthly energy savings generated are equal to or greater than the monthly cost of the utilized efficiency measure. Any building or structure with equity should be a great candidate. The cleanest energy is the energy we do not use! All efficiency projects should first focus on minimizing energy use. The Greener Lease begins with an indepth energy consumption analysis. It uses a number of proven energy demand reduction measures in series or combination wherein we strive to reduce energy consumption by 30-40% in a self funding plan. The great news is that many benefits come from this plan for the building owner and our planet. Our initial enveloping measures will markedly improve occupant comfort and HVAC equipment performance and life span. The Green Lease is designed to self fund the measure or measures in eight years or less! No building owner should be disappointed in a 12.5% return on the first year return on an efficiency upgrade with a history of long life! Our goal will be to utilize every efficiency measure that can self fund until the 30-40% energy use goal is achieved. Individually and collectively we are failing at all efforts to reach demand reduction and temperature rise reductions goals and experts are saying the damage will soon be irreversible. A great first step will be a focused effort on energy use reductions. A self funding plan will make a huge step toward wider utilization with long term benefits. We should in a few years be able to see a path to reach our global demand reduction and emission reduction goals.

Buildings and homes consume approximately 75% of the electricity used in the United States, and they account for 40% of primary energy use and corresponding greenhouse gas emissions. Given the scale of energy and carbon resources dedicated to these buildings and homes, there is a significant opportunity to achieve savings. ACEEE seeks to advance evidence-based clean energy solutions that not only significantly reduce carbon emissions but also advance social equity, maximize the health and well-being of all people, and help ensure a just and inclusive clean energy transition.

Whole-Building Savings
green buildingsACEEE advocates using a whole-building approach to saving energy in new and existing buildings. A whole-building approach considers the building envelope, HVAC system, water-heating system, appliances, and other equipment in the building and uses energy modeling to identify the most cost-effective opportunities for improving efficiency. Federal, state, local, and utility incentives can reduce the upfront cost of many of these upgrades.

While there are specific considerations for each project, typically the first step is ensuring that the building envelope is well insulated and sealed. A well-designed building envelope will lose (or, in the summer, gain) heat much more slowly, resulting in less need to run the HVAC system. This saves money on energy costs and can allow the homeowner to downsize the HVAC system. An efficient water-heating system can be designed with efficient equipment as well as an efficient piping layout and fixtures to reduce water use. Similarly, efficient appliances can save both energy and water. It is also important to consider the efficiency of other equipment in the building (e.g., computers, servers, gym equipment, and manufacturing equipment) as well as ways to operate it more efficiently. Finally, reducing the energy use of a whole building then allows for a smaller renewable energy system, such as rooftop solar, to meet the building’s energy needs.

Building Envelope
energy efficient buildingsA building envelope refers to the parts of a building—including external walls, windows, skylights, doors, and floors—that act as barriers to the outside world. A good building envelope saves energy by preventing the transfer of heat in or out of the building. High-quality envelope components, like thick insulation or high-efficiency windows, help maintain comfortable indoor temperatures, while sufficient sealing of gaps and openings in the building envelope, like sealing around windows, prevents air infiltration (i.e., leaks).

By preventing drafts and uneven temperatures, a high-performing building envelope improves the comfort of its occupants, and by preventing potential problems like mold, mildew, fungal growth, and dust mites, protects their health. Because high-quality envelopes will also help buildings maintain their temperature during power outages, they are a powerful way to improve resilience, especially as the climate changes

Save Earth Mission -https://saveearthmission.com is building a task force of efficiency professionals, environmentalists, engineers, energy managers, mathematicians, business leaders, and others to provide a pathway to new aggressive zero emission analysis and planning. As individuals, corporations, states, countries, and a planet we are failing badly to make any progress on clean climate goals. In fact, the United Nations says if that does not change, we will be approaching the real possibility of irreparable damage!.SEM has not found any significant and comprehensive global effort yet to provide a solution to this huge problem and plans to change that. Please consider participating in this task force and making a difference for our children and our children's children. Our global partner Inflector India ia a keyparticipant in this important endeavor. https://inflectorindia.com/

We, at In’Flector, strive towards building a greener and brighter future that promises to all a life teeming with opportunities.

There have been two major developments recently that seem unrelated but that point to a significant way to positively address both. The first development was Russia attacking Ukraine. The global response of condemnations and sanctions was well intended but has provided no reduction in deaths and dam...
