Municipal Leaders, Aboriginal Chiefs and Economic Development Offices Contacted Across Ontario – Get your Communities Ready before the Rebate Deadlines Pass this Summer – Could Save Ontario Tax-payers $Tens of Millions in the First Year!
Toronto, Ontario
Last week Neutopia ecoSOLUTIONS Inc., the world’s first Social Impact Community Efficiency company (www.neutopia.ca, Est. 2008) launched a test pilot marketing campaign to attract host sites interested in being paid monthly royalty cheques to have a new smart building technology installed on their property that takes advantage of the information being collected by smart meters.

“The response was overwhelming so we really need the City Councils, employment agencies and even the schools to be ready,” says Robert Laporte, CEO Neutopia, “I just don’t think the general population understands the cleantech revolution yet. When I was in South Korea the buses are being recharged at red lights right through the pavement without even plugging into anything, the windows dim at the turn of a switch, the garbage cans send waste through underground tunnels to power the schools, and here we are in Canada still scratching our heads wondering where to send our waste or what to do with our Municipal Energy Intensity info reports used to calculate our carbon footprints. We need to be moving faster. The utility companies know what is needed, but they need companies like us to lead, they merely deliver the energy but we are the ones who need to use it efficiently. WE need to be the change that we want to see and I have never been more proud to be Canadian than I am today, with this amazing team we have organized over the past few years. Being invited to teach these technologies at the International Vertical Cities Conference in South Korea and just last month in Central America, and to promote our Power Plant for Poverty project in southern Ontario and our food waste conversion systems, it shows just how far ahead of the curve we are with these Smart Building technologies, and we are on the verge of making history as we launch our global mass marketing campaign with social media. It’s an exciting time.”
Neutopia is launching a mass training program to prepare communities for the sweeping technological change that the smart grid is opening up. City Councils, Employment Offices and Economic Development Agencies across Canada are being notified; hundreds of new Ambassadors will be required to be trained to present the opportunity to property owners and collect basic building information for buildings from coast to coast; FREE Training Webinars throughout May & June

“The technology will likely become mandatory with new building codes but the government rebates for it end this December, so people can save up to 50% if they are early adopters. It’s so easy a 12-year old with a Smart Phone can do it and yet it represents the most innovative solution to cut the Canadian carbon footprint in the fastest and least expensive way possible.” says Robert Laporte, CEO Neutopia, who hopes to train hundreds of Ambassadors in communities across Canada over the coming months.
“The only obstacle I see are the property management companies who may be collecting revenue on total energy consumed in the buildings they manage but pass the costs on to the tenants, similar to waste management. Communities will need to ensure there is a fair, open and transparent adoption of these technologies and our system enables the obstacles to be eliminated. If any building manager doesn’t install it, you just need to dig deeper to find out why they aren’t cutting energy costs and the carbon footprint. This technology doesn’t interfere with anything else they could be doing, doesn’t require any changes to equipment or operations, doesn’t require any maintenance, and doesn’t even require a capex because we offer full financing so they can pay off over several years. And if they don’t want to own it then Neutopia could end up offering to pay them monthly royalties to allow us to own it. We have learned so much in dealing directly with property managers and community leaders, some people just never realized that the more energy people consume, the better it is for certain companies…cutting energy use in buildings is not as easy as Obama would like people to think. But we know there are community leaders out there and forward thinking property management companies who really do care about the environment and care about cutting costs for their tenants so we hope to attract them.”
“There’s been no shortage of media articles quoting politicians who complain that smart meters weren’t worth the investment. No kidding. They don’t seem to comprehend that Smart Meters simply collect information; but it’s what you do with that information that dictates whether or not you have a smart building. I was wondering why the government would make it mandatory to install smart meters but not make it mandatory to install smart building technologies that reduce energy consumption. It took 17 years for the catalytic converter to become mandatory on automobiles to reduce carbon emissions…we aren’t waiting for a government roll-out of this technology [it’s already approved for government rebates but they end in December] so we are offering it with 100% financing and 100% savings guarantee and if any property owner doesn’t want to invest or have it financed then we have the 3rd option, which I personally prefer, and that’s for Neutopia to own it and pay them monthly royalty cheques. 100% guaranteed income without any capital outlay, not a bad business for us to be launching!”Neutopia’s patented system introduces a new First Step before changing light bulbs or retrofitting any HVAC equipment. “It doesn’t compete with those up-grades, people should be doing that anyways, this technology simply becomes the first step because it gives the building a new ‘Prefrontal Cortex’ that helps you reduce inefficiencies like your brain reduces all the background noise and information your body doesn’t really need, and this technology saves energy immediately. One part can be installed on the roof, one beside the building or even down the street it’s totally non-invasive and non-disruptive. It integrates multiple information relays that enable it to ‘communicate with the electricity coming into the building from the grid’, and automatically reduces the amount a property will be charged for on their energy bills essentially ‘by recycling the electrons that a property may demand but which is not able to use efficiently‘.
“Most people assume that you are charged for what you consume, but that is simply not the case; you are charged for what is delivered and that’s a big difference. A lot of that is controllable, and smart building technologies can reduce large proportions of your energy bill because of how the bills are calculated. Toronto, for example, charges 39% more than Whitby for reserving space on the lines that you may not even use every day. Many people know about total energy consumption, measured in kWh, but very few people have any idea how the Demand charges are calculated and all of the other dozen charges that don’t show up on your monthly statements. People simply don’t understand how their bills are calculated and that’s why our education program combined with our suite of ‘Freedom from the Grid’ eco-Technologies is going to help tax-payers take matters into their own hands. They can cut as much as 8% off their total bill immediately without even changing any equipment; talk about a revolution in energy costs that we are bringing and we only install it once verified by independent 3rd party engineering firms and our investors put their 100% Savings Guarantee stamp on our assessment.”
The system can be combined with other cleantech systems as part of the total LEAN Community Improvement Program, such as Neutopia’s on-site power generation from ‘building-integrated’ renewable energy and on-site combined heat and power, and is compatible with any energy storage technologies. It also combines data from Neutopia’s water conservation and on-site waste management solutions which can reduce organic waste by up to 90% and even convert it into revenue for host sites. Laporte says that combining technologies from the ‘Freedom from the Grid’ portfolio can be life-changing for property owners in the short term.
Neutopia’s $600 Million Retrofitting Canada Community Program Sets the Stage for Government Buildings, Franchises and Portfolio Managers to get Blanket Approvals across Canada making this solution the most innovative way to the cut the entire Canadian carbon footprint in the fastest and least expensive way possible.
Welcome to the smart grid.
