Alternative Technolgies
There are a lot of ways to go green with traditional mechanical systems, but when most people think of green buildings, they’re usually thinking of “sustainable systems.” These systems use innovations to reduce their dependence on non-renewable resources or increase their ability to recycle resources.
Get Off the Grid
By reducing our greenhouse emissions, we can make a big difference in our environmental impact. That means reducing electric, gas and fuel consumptions. Your mechanical systems can be designed or retrofitted to take advantage of alternative sources of energy. To heat and cool your facility, ask Blue Dot about solar, wind and geothermal systems that can be used to leverage the earth’s renewable resources.
 Don’t Forget the Water
Innovative water and plumbing solutions can reduce your consumption by upwards of 30 percent in typical situations.
Reclaim & Recycle
You can use earth-friendly solutions when designing or upgrading your mechanical systems. Blue Dot can help you identify the many products that can be reclaimed to make new products without going through additional manufacturing. Several products can also be recycled when they have fulfilled their functional life span. Remember the “Four Rs” of going green: Reduce, Reuse, Reclaim, Recycle.
