Our Mission. Your Opportunity. Sustainability Engineered.
The place where economic, environmental and social needs intersect can be described as sustainability.
The Brundtland Commission defined sustainable development as that which "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." 1
The HelioEMS business model grew out of growing sensitivity to sustainability. Using this perspective has driven us to systems and technology applications that ultimately support "the longevity of human communities in general."
Economic Sustainability Factors
"Nationally and locally, the Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency (RE & EE) industry can help move us toward a vibrant, robust, environmentally sustainable future. It can reduce the risks associated with fuel price volatility and can facilitate an industrial boom, create millions of jobs, foster new technology, revitalize the manufacturing sector, enhance growth and help reduce the trade and budget deficits." 2
Financial returns are real and calculable for your enterprise or organization. Real economic benefits are inherent in RE & EE programs including more efficient use of natural resources, reduced overhead costs, stabilized energy costs, lower risks, improved stakeholder relations, innovation and access to new markets.
"Going green" makes economic sense on every level. Conserving energy, saving money, increasing productivity, operating more efficiently and positively affecting the global climate are results that suit every company, government and organization on the earth.
Environmental Sustainability Factors
The founders of HelioEMS have over 30 years experience in energy consultation and application. Much of that has been working with renewable energy applications like solar photovoltaic, solar thermal and wind driven generation. HelioEMS is the natural progression of renewable energy application. Every energy user has a unique set of requirements and objectives. We help them meet those objectives while moving ever closer to true sustainability.
There is more! We all exist in an environment of constant change. As we learn more about the world and our human impact on it we enable ourselves to become better stewards. HelioEMS provides you with the ability to better understand and affect the impact you have on your environment. Our monitoring and control process allows you to not only minimize your effect on the environment but to know when and how changes can be made to move even closer to sustainability.
Currently, successful commercial businesses exist that operate from "Net Zero" facilities. That means: they not only consume no natural resources and produce no green house gases, but they are actually helping to reduce resources consumption and CO2 production by others.
Societal Sustainability Factors
Not much needs to be said about the benefits to society of environmental stewardship that has not already been published. In every domain of life, work, play and home, society benefits from the championing of environmental responsibility.
Let's work together toward the world vision of clean energy. Give us a call and we can get started today!
