SolarNovus Today is a website about “what really matters in the Solar industry today”. They recently did a “Case Studies and Solar Solutions” article on my house renovation, 78 Main St, Enfield, NH.

Green Living Journal published the story I wrote entitled “One Woman’s Journey to a Zero Energy Building”. I like how they advertised it on the cover (My Zero Net Energy Home) and put it out in Left Field 
Click here if you would like to read it. I added some pictures in the blog post version. They didn’t have room for many pictures in the journal.
I’m very excited to report that the Business New Hampshire Magazine has chosen Energy Emporium as the winner of the 2012 Lean and Green award in the Green Building category!
They award businesses in 3 major categories related to sustainability and energy efficiency: Green Buildings (what the business has done with its building to reduce energy use), Green Products/Services (business products or services that provide energy efficiencies), or Sustainability Champions (internal business processes geared towards energy efficiencies and sustainability in the workplace).

For most businesses the best publicity you can get is not what you pay for, but what someone else writes for you or about you that gets the most attention.

Valley News, Business
I am collecting the media clips on the ‘Press‘ page of this website and hoping that the links will remain for a while. I chose this blog post to write about it because the USA Solar Store group and my store in particular, were given a nice article on the front of the Business section in the local paper this weekend. Here is the article: “Bright Idea” by Chris Fleisher, The Valley News. I think that Jackie Bender of channel 5 News also did a good job highlighting the educational aspect of the energy store. That clip can be found here: “New Store Offers Green Products“.

Lose Your Excuse website
Many products that want you to keep them plugged in even when they aren’t “on” are probably sucking some electricity. One way to ensure that your phantom loads are not stealing your electricity is to unplug them, or plug them into a power strip with an on/off switch and turn them off.
