Thank you for visiting us at the RHA Expo, and for your interest in SolarAire’s solar thermal systems. As promised, we’re following up with more detailed information on how your property can retain greater tenant loyalty and appreciate in value, all while reducing energy costs by as much as 50%.

As an owner or property manager of buildings 4,000-50,000 sq. ft. in size, you stand to benefit most from SolarAire’s solar thermal solutions than any other commercial or residential entity. You may even qualify for our $0 down, $0 emissions program.

Following are some powerful reasons why installing a SolarAire solar thermal system is the most cost effective, elegant and intelligent energy solution for your heating and cooling needs:

Cost effective and Intelligent:

14:1. Green buildings appreciate in value more than non-green buildings – for every $1 you save in energy costs your property value appreciates $14: Using the standard formula to assess real estate asset value (that is, NOI – Net Operating Income)/Capitalization Rate – with the current capitalization rate of 7%, property owners stand to get immediate returns on their investment . For example, if you install a solar thermal system which saves you $1,000 per year, your property would increase in value by $1,000/.07 = $14, 286. So, for every $1 saved, you increase your net worth by $14. What's the bottom line? If you invest $65,000 in solar thermal, with tax incentives you recoup 60% of the cost of the investment in the increased value of your property immediately. Then, every year after that, as fossil fuel energy prices go up (and you realize more savings), the value of your property continues to increase. The after tax ROI on the project would be 18%. If you invested that same amount of money in a photo-voltaic (PV)system, you would recoup only 25% of the investment in the increased value of the property. The after tax ROI would only be 9% (even though the PV investment gets a rebate of $12,400 that thermal does not)!!

Banks offer more favorable loan rates and fees for green buildings: SolarAire has secured a financial partner that enables us to offer a financing package that uses the solar energy system to secure the loan at 5%. With this, you pay $0 down and your energy cost savings will exceed your loan payments after the first year.

Elegant

Space efficient. For the amount of power it provides, SolarAire solar thermal systems require less roof space.

Energy efficient. SolarAire systems produce more cooling in the early afternoon, just as the day gets hotter. In other words, as the temperature rises, so does the chiller’s capacity.

Reliable. SolarAire systems are reliable - maintenance costs are 66% less than that for PV. And, they have a life expectancy of 25-40 years.

Environmentally sound. Solar thermal HVAC uses no CFC or HFC refrigerants.( CFC-12, commonly used today in most air conditioners, has a global warming potential 1400 times that of CO2 ! ) Our refrigerant is water! Plus the components of our systems are made of recyclable materials such as glass, copper pipe, sheet metal and aluminum.

What's more

Current studies find people and business want to adopt more environmentally sound practices. In fact, studies recently published by the New Buildings Institute (funded by USGBC with support from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) and the CoStar Group confirm that green buildings offer many advantages over their non-green counterparts:
