ADG Eco Lighting Products is his current endeavor which reduces energy consumption of lighting by 50%-90% though innovative US manufactured resolutions.

His career began in Architecture . He has held positions of President and CEO of two other companies.

Boards Cabrillo Music Theater, Education Committee -Institute of Classical Architecture SoCal, Moderator - Green Panel, Board Member -Valley Economic Alliance, EO Los Angeles Board; chairing Green Affinity Network Think Tank .

Gerald Olesker’s philosophy is derived from a culmination of 20 years in the architectural solutions and design profession. To design is to be part of a collaborative that enhances the built environment though positive relationships. Those relationships with the client’s team, with the building’s parts and with the environment lean to elements in energy that is created and enhanced through a deliberate involvement; no building is complete without light and is void of detail without the function of those elements.

The Real Key to Sustainability and Making Money with Green. A well received introduction of owning the energy game in your buildings. Why reducing consumption and demand maintenance is far more simple with the right steps.

Carbon Free Racing - A girls perspective

 

Adapted from her recent interview at http://altaterra.site-ym.com/members/blog_view.asp?id=349771&post=95433 the ADG Eco Blogger says this is the best Carbon Free experience of my day.

Leilani Münter, self-proclaimed ‘Carbon Free Girl’, is not afraid of a challenge. In addition to being one of the top-ranked women in motor sports, Leilani has taken a leadership position in promoting green products and behaviors to the auto racing community. Kudos to Leilani. Listen and watch her interview. ADG Eco Lighitng is proud that Leilani Munter mentions chainging light bulbs without using the F word (Fluorescent that is).

In a recent interview on greenbaypressgazette.com, Leilani explained how, in 2006, she realized she wanted to tell race fans and others about her environmental concerns, and what the fans could do to help. “…So where is this all heading? Will ‘green’ really become a factor in auto racing? It could, but the performance bar will be high. Leilani is now working to form the ‘Eco Dream Team,’ a group of sponsoring companies looking to collaborate on bringing sustainability more broadly to racing technology, racing events, and the racing audience.

Leilani’s current sponsors include: GREENandSAVE, NativeEnergy, groSolar, LED Saving Solutions, Eco Academy, Home Efficiency Report, National Wildlife Federation, and HuntGreen LLC.  This is great. Celebs should all think about this. Save about $1 per square foot doing it our way and get theFed to pay a portion of it too. You’ll have to ask the Team at ADG Eco Lighting Products and or an authorizedfactory reseller located throughout the nation.

Energy Efficient Speaking Topics

How and Why Green Should be Good Looking

How and Why Green Should be Good Looking

Induction Lighting and all types of newer technologies are many times associated with Green and not so good looking. I have a different perception. As a diplomat of Architecture it is the responsibility of the entire design team to seek out good looking solutions. See the photo, book me and hear my talk about integrating technology and aesthetics. It’s what makes American Know How more exciting and Profitable.

The Lighting Difference

 We are often asked what is the difference in the light quality between Induction and other forms of lighting, and people often think we are exaggerating when we tell them it is clearly visible so we have made this little video for you to judge the difference

For more on Induction, you can visit www.adgecolp.com or download our handy Induction Lighting Brochure

Beyond Corporate Accountability, Our Personal Responsibility:

With the new resolve this historic moment has brought to our lives, we ask ourselves what we can do besides holding corporations accountable - what can we do as an individual that goes beyond responsible spending and paper recycling. If we are ready to change our mindsets and consider efficiency improvements as investments then there is this decision to make. One that which is not only economical but of the ecology for the future that we want for our world and the generation that will follow us.

  • Solar Panels: the average energy use of a home is somewhere between 900-100 kw/h; in California that translates to roughly $200 monthly, in a year that’s about $2,400. Looking at it this way, keeping your current energy bill sounds cheaper than investing the $20,000 on a typical solar panel installation. However, most utility companies provide energy incentives that will cover 50% of the installation, then add to that state and federal tax cuts as well as proceeds from selling back energy to the grid and you’ve got close to 75% of the installation covered so now instead of taking 10 years to recoup your investment, you only have 2 year’s. If purchasing your own equipment is not an option, then new leasing programs for Solar panels are available, the down payment is very low and you get a fixed monthly payment that will safeguard you from the energy companies price hikes. (be sure to discuss the tax incentives with your accountant. There may be a gain instead of a loss to account for) – Consult with a company like Permacity Solar in Brentwood CA for more information http://www.permacity.com/
  • Triple Pane Windows: wasted energy from windows and doors ads up to 250 tons of Co2 emissions a year, a triple pane window can have an R insulation value (the measurement that indicates the ability to resist heat flow) of up to R-11, close to that of a wall which is typically at R-13. Which should cut the heat flow about 40%.
