Reap the Rewards of Regenerative Condensate Return® Technology
A sustainable, earth-friendly mindset requires us to make use of everything we can in an efficient manner. Sometimes, we can even make use of something we would rather not have.

It’s Up to You, New York — NYC introduces extreme measures to fight emissions
It’s no secret that New York City is an international epicenter known for making huge deals and marching to its own drum. However, the big deal that went down on April 22nd, 2019 is in a category all its own. The city has given sustainability hero California a run for its money through the Climate Mobilization Act, which rolls out emissions reduction goals that surpass The Golden State’s efforts. Also known as the Green New Deal, the 10-bill initiative aims to meet goals set by the Paris Climate Agreement and seeks to remove the equivalent of one million cars from the road by 2030. The Green New Deal is not simply impressive—it’s the largest carbon reduction effort begun by any city worldwide.

New Big Deal: LEED Zero
Project teams have relied on LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards to achieve healthy, cost-effective, and environmentally sound status in green buildings since the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) piloted the certification in 1998. Thanks to the third-party verification system, more people have come to understand that sustainable buildings aren’t just good for the planet. Those who build, own, and occupy them reap personal benefits. Let’s face it, we humans like our comfort and we love to save money, so once we hear people gushing over pristine indoor air, lower energy bills, and all-around better living, we all start to want in.
