Robert Holdsworth — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 15:38:21 +0000

FT LAUDERDALE, Fla., July 9, 2012 – Dr. Benjamin Chavis, Spokesperson for Energy Edge Solutions (OTC: EEDG), has just released the following statement:

“To further accommodate the acquisitions and partnerships the Company has recently executed, as well as those that are currently pending, Energy Edge Technologies has implemented a comprehensive restructuring that will greatly enhance our accounting and operational efficiencies. The central component of this strategy is EEDG becoming a public holding company with ownership and management of two subsidiaries and a partnership.

Over the past six weeks EEDG has entered into a non-dilutive Merger Agreement with Trillacorpe Construction, making Trillacorpe our first subsidiary, and an exclusive profit-sharing Partnership Agreement with Drinkable Air. Today I am pleased to announce that the former core energy efficiency business of EEDG will operate as our second subsidiary, under the name Energy Edge Solutions, LLC.

The decision to operate EEDG as a holding company allows for the realization of operational economies and efficiencies at every level while streamlining the process for future acquisitions, mergers, and partnerships. Our new structure also heightens our ability to assemble a world class management team that can focus squarely on the maximization of our various assets. We are currently contemplating the formation of a new subsidiary to implement and manage our ‘Africa Initiative’, along with other enterprises related to our flourishing partnership with Drinkable Air. We will be releasing relevant details as they come to fruition.

I am also pleased to announce that a new investor friendly website providing easy accessibility to up-to-the-minute Company information, news, events and videos will be launched in the coming days. The site contains links to all of our partners and subsidiaries as well as dynamic multi-media applications.”

Energy Edge Announces ‘Africa Initiative’

Robert Holdsworth — Mon, 25 Jun 2012 14:04:25 +0000

NEW YORK, June 25, 2012 — Dr. Benjamin Chavis, newly appointed Spokesperson of Energy Edge Solutions Corp (OTC: EEDG), has just released the following statement:

“All of us at Energy Edge have been extremely concerned about the worldwide drinkable water crisis and over the last few weeks we have begun to take definitive steps to develop and offer a sustainable solution. This past week I have personally contacted several of my colleagues at the United Nations, as well as key decision makers from many of the African and Caribbean countries that I work with. My goal was to see if together we can try to immediately relieve some of the intense suffering that millions of people are enduring due to a lack of access to clean water and a lack of traditional power sources to help generate new supplies of this most precious natural resource. I am happy to report that the answer from everyone I contacted was a resounding, “YES.”

Energy Edge Technologies currently has a strong working relationship with Drinkable Air, a leading atmospheric water generation company, and we’ll be looking to utilize and expand that relationship to help us in this process. We have also reached out to several other major companies in the water and solar power industries to help put together a comprehensive plan of action that can be implemented expeditiously and effectively. Again, I am extremely gratified that everyone contacted has been more than willing to join our mission and lend their support and expertise any way they can.

I believe Energy Edge has now put together a strong foundation for responsive action and a basis for moving forward as swiftly and boldly as we can. It’s apparent to me that many of the well-funded organizations set up to respond to humanitarian crises around the world will spare no expense towards our efforts if presented with a strategic plan of action, complete with well-tested equipment and provable results. I believe that in the next 30-60 days all necessary pieces will be in place to start putting our plan and proven technologies to work, and for all of us to begin to make a substantive difference by supplying immediate access to environmentally safe, potable water to the people that need it the most.” www.energyEEDG.com

Energy Edge Signs Partnership Agreement with Drinkable Air

Robert Holdsworth — Mon, 25 Jun 2012 13:10:48 +0000

BRIDGEWATER, N.J., June 25, 2012 – Energy Edge Technologies Corp (OTC-PINK: EEDG) has announced the execution of a Partnership Agreement with Drinkable Air that greatly expands the original Distributorship Agreement entered into this past April. The new Agreement includes an extensive profit sharing program, wide ranging exclusivity provisions, and the placement of Dr. Benjamin Chavis and Frank Campanaro of Energy Edge onto Drinkable Air’s Board of Directors. There is no stock consideration attached to this Agreement.

Drinkable Air is a world leader in water generation from humidity in the air we breathe. Its patented ozone technology converts moisture from the atmosphere into an unlimited supply of pure drinking water. The company is in the final phase of testing a solar-powered machine that can have enormous impact on the water crisis that plagues many parts of Africa and the Caribbean. The new machine is planned to be unveiled at a July 4th event in Ft Lauderdale. www.drinkableair.com

Drinkable Air’s new 7 person Board of Directors will bring together three of America’s most dedicated and effective public servants. General Russell Honore, who is best known for providing unwavering leadership throughout the Hurricane Katrina rescue and recovery efforts, will be joined on the Board by Dr. Benjamin Chavis, a lifelong champion of civil rights and environmental causes, and Frank Campanaro, a highly successful international businessman and former US Army Ranger with 20 years of honors and awards for military service, veteran advocacy and business accomplishments. Together, their mission will be to establish a nationwide network of Veteran owned Drinkable Air distributorships, while also focusing the Partnership’s resources on the worldwide thirst for sustainable pure water alternatives.

“We already have in place the most prolific lender for small veteran owned businesses in America, who has committed to back each of our approved veteran distributors with a $25,000 start-up loan,” said Frank Campanaro. “These funds will go towards the purchase of their initial pallet of water machines, along with a comprehensive training program that includes lead generation and the creation of targeted marketing materials, with plenty left over for working capital and other start-up expenses. Under General Honore’s incomparable leadership, we will work to make this program a rousing success for hundreds of our brothers and sisters all across America.”

Dr. Chavis, newly appointed Spokesperson for Energy Edge concluded, “This is another banner day for the shareholders of EEDG. This Partnership Agreement opens up a plethora of opportunities all around the world for our Company. Not only opportunities to exponentially grow the sales and income of Energy Edge, but opportunities to make a tremendous difference in the lives of literally millions of people who are suffering through a severe shortage of drinkable water in many parts of our planet. Drinkable Air will be the one of the cornerstones of EEDG’s “Africa Initiative” announced earlier today and it is gratifying to see our efforts get off to such a truly auspicious start.” www.energyEEDG.com

Are You Ready for Energy Efficiency: Tips to Consider

Robert Holdsworth — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 15:13:24 +0000

The Clean Energy Council of Australia just released a list of tips to consider when purchasing a solar power system. While not all of the guidelines apply to U.S. consumers, the comprehensive list offered several pointers that we think are applicable to anyone considering a new energy-efficient power source.

We’ve taken their list and modified it a bit for American consumers:

Be an informed consumer.
Research your options, be clear on your needs and compare quotes.
Know your daily electricity consumption.
Whether you are considering solar, wind or any other energy source, by understanding what you use, you can assess how much you would like your new system to generate, depending on your budget.
Get an estimate of how much energy your system will generate.
Your contract should include an estimate of the average daily output of your system in kilowatt-hours (based on where you live and the size and position of your system).
Check with your electric power provider.
Never purchase a system without knowing what rate you will be paid for the electricity you generate and whether this will affect any hourly rates in your electricity bill.
Always use an Accredited Installer.
The North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners offers a map that lists certified professional installers all across the country.
Avoid signing up on the spot.
You should not feel pressured to sign a contract on the spot. Take the time to understand up-front costs, warranties and pay back of your system.
Check the conditions of product warranties and work guarantees.
Know who is providing the warranty (manufacturer or importer) and how long it lasts.
Keep the documentation.
A copy of your contract is necessary to resolve any disputes down the track.
Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

The list may seem a little daunting, but both residential consumers and business owners who are considering energy-efficient power alternatives should understand that while there are many factors in play to getting the right solution for you, there are many resources out there to help point you in the right direction.

For business owners and building managers, we offer free energy audits that includes a comprehensive analysis (including options, cost, savings, payback, ROI, rebates, financing options, etc) to give you everything you need to decide if a whole facility energy project makes financial and operational sense for your organization.

Early Energy Education Benefits Efficiency Efforts

Robert Holdsworth — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 13:49:28 +0000

According to a recent article posted on the Philadelphia Inquirer’s website, Energy Auditor is one of the top new jobs of 2012. We applaud this news and think it’s very encouraging that newer generations are seeing the need for an increase in providing this service – whether for residential or commercial sectors.

But, this also got us thinking…how can we continue to encourage a growth in energy related jobs? Obviously demand will help facilitate this, but demand is only created when people decide that they need or want something. Part of the solution, in our opinion, is to encourage energy education amongst our country’s youth.

If we can help children see the importance of making our world a more sustainable place, the journey to reducing our carbon output will be off to a steady and healthy start by the time they reach adolescence and beyond.

We’ve compiled a few ideas and resources for encouraging your kids to get more involved and, hopefully, more passionate about helping our environment:

Energy Star offers a comprehensive and very engaging website aimed at getting kids more involved in energy savings. From pledging with the Lorax to games, trivia and activities, they really offer a great array of ways to get kids involved.

The U.S. Department of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy also offers a very interactive website full of activities and lessons you can participate in with your child. Additionally, there is a parents and teachers section (as with the Energy Star site) that provides lesson plans and projects to help bring energy conservation into the education curriculum.

Involve your children in yard work and gardening. Give them a little plot of land to make their very own – from choosing the plants to cultivating them and watching them grow, your children will have a greater understanding for our environment and how it works.

Visit our nation’s natural parks and forests. The U.S. has 397 national parks that span from coast to coast and illustrate the multitude of eco-systems found in our country alone. As a bonus, take advantage of any of the several days throughout the year when the National Parks offer free entrance!

Give your kids an energy allowance and teach them how keeping appliances and lights turned off or running water as little as possible will help them save money. Start them off each month with a set amount of money and every time they excessively use energy, take some of the allowance away. This will help teach them conservation from a budgetary standpoint as well!

We’ve already seen some amazing stories of kids taking initiative with and ownership of energy efficiency and think that with continued education, this trend will only grow stronger.

Energy Edge Expanding Into Residential Energy Market through 5LINX Energy

Robert Holdsworth — Fri, 11 May 2012 13:25:36 +0000

Agreement Geared to Benefit New Customers, Shareholders, and Veterans

BRIDGEWATER, N.J., May 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ – Energy Energy Edge Solutions (OTCBB: EEDG) has entered into a Strategic Alliance as a Business Partner with 5LINX, one of the fastest growing privately held companies in America as recognized by Inc. 500 Magazine. The agreement gives Energy Edge the opportunity to provide residential consumers with savings on their electric and gas bills in all deregulated states, as well as adding a significant new cost savings component to EEDG’s commercial and government energy projects.

5LINX achieved revenues of $50 Million in 2010, over $100 Million in 2011, and is projecting sales to more than double again in 2012. The company currently has 260 corporate employees and over 75,000 independent marketing representatives worldwide. 5LINX was recently named the 76^th largest direct sales company in the world by Direct Selling News, placing them on an exclusive list with the likes of Avon, Tupperware, and Mary Kay.

www.5LINX.com/products/5linx-energy-program/

“Adding the ability to help residential consumers switch to more competitive rates for electricity and gas through 5LINX is a natural extension of our success in the commercial, industrial and government sectors,” stated Robert Holdsworth, President of EEDG. “The 5LINX program represents an enormous opportunity for EEDG to add immediate revenues and income for our shareholders as well as the perfect vehicle for us to deliver on our ongoing commitment to build a national sales force of highly skilled Military Veterans.”

Energy deregulation represents a $500 Billion market of which approximately 90% of consumers have not yet switched to a lower cost energy supplier. 5LINX is successfully competing with traditional utilities by buying energy in the wholesale market and delivering it to consumers at a lower cost, using that same utility’s own infrastructure. With deregulation scheduled to take effect in all 50 states by 2015, 5LINX is positioned to provide customers and business partners across America with outstanding value and revenue potential.

“Warren Buffet stated in Forbes Magazine that the deregulation of energy will create The Largest Transfer of Wealth in History, and 5LINX has been moving very aggressively to take full advantage of this unique opportunity,” said Terrence Porter, Senior Vice President of 5LINX. “We are in the business of building lucrative long-term residual income streams for our business partners and independent representatives and believe that Energy Edge could be one of the most successful and gratifying alliances we have formed. 5LINX has long been committed to supporting our nation’s Military heroes and by partnering with Energy Edge and VetPower.org, the ‘Investing in Veterans’ charity that EEDG has so generously funded from the start, we will now be able to positively impact the lives of literally thousands of Veterans and their families,” concluded Porter.

Famous Buildings Find Energy Savings

Robert Holdsworth — Wed, 09 May 2012 14:20:25 +0000

When it comes to retrofitting commercial buildings for reduced energy usage, even some of the world’s most famous landmarks can claim impressive results. Recent news reports indicate that energy upgrades to the Empire State Building are going to surpass the building’s expected savings, reaching a 38-percent reduction in energy use within three years. The anticipated savings generated from the project is $4.4 million in annual operating costs.

“The work, which began in 2009 and included improving the tower’s 6,500 windows and an upgrade of its automation systems, has saved $2.41 million in the first full year since most of the work was completed. That is 5 percent above what engineers at Johnson Controls Inc promised as part of their $20 million contract for the work.” – Huffington Post

This news got us thinking, how do some of the other recognizable world landmarks stack up on the energy-efficiency scale? Astonishingly, the answer is quite well. In impressive demonstrations of old embracing new, some of the world’s most historic and famous commercial buildings are taking great strides to reduce their energy costs and lower their carbon footprint.

A recent report from CNN breaks down some of the energy efficient changes being made to these buildings:

London Tower Bridge: Tower Bridge in London is being retrofitted with LED light bulbs that will reduce its energy consumption by 40% The project will be completed by the start of the 2012 Olympics, which are aiming to be the greenest ever.

Vatican City: One thousand photovoltaic panels cover the roof of the Paul VI Audience Hall, which generate enough electricity to meet all heating, lighting and cooling requirements of the 6,300 seat venue.

Empire State Building: All 6,500 windows of the skyscraper are being replaced while the building’s air conditioning and lighting systems are also being upgraded. It’s expected to reduce energy use by more than 35%.

Sydney Opera House: The air conditioning system in the Sydney Opera House has been adapted to utilize sea water from the surrounding harbor.

Eiffel Tower: The Eiffel Tower in Paris has reduced its energy consumption with a low energy LED lighting system. The company behind the project envisions further carbon reductions by growing 600,000 plants on the world famous structure. They claim that 87 tons of CO2 could be removed from the Paris sky each year.

The take-away from this information is that if the buildings that require much more attention in terms of care, preservation and aesthetic detail can find ways to retrofit their energy consumption, modern structures have no excuse for not following in their footsteps.

“These high profile projects can highlight the importance of retrofitting and cause people to think about installing renewable energy systems on the micro level,” says John Alker, director of policy at the UK Green Building Council.

“Relatively speaking, Tower Bridge will save a small amount of energy but this could translate into a quite significant proportion if people can be persuaded to follow,” he adds.
