Green building
esivyjifag.wordpress.com
The startup modular home builder said it can builxd homes that produce as much power as they will use in a year a concept the industrycalls “net zero” and can do it faster and cheaperd than traditional methods, all whiles using green building materials and reducing waste. Net zero energy homex are popping up all over the country as governmen t and private support increases and new materialsare However, with hundreds of thousands of foreclosed homees empty, depressed home prices and a recession-stuntecd building industry, it might not seem like the right time to starf a home manufacturing company. But Zeta CEO Naomi Porayt disagrees.
“The industry is ripe for reinvention right she said. Zeta’s first two-story, two work/live town home is being installed nowin Oakland. The home includes four modulew andat 1,560 square Zeta homes start at aboutt $165 per square foot or $258,000. This does not includd the cost of site workand foundation, the company said. Zeta is using the Oaklande town home as its demonstration home to get home developerx and state agencies interestes in buying tracts ofthese homes, Porat said. Zeta has 16 and most of them work in the San Leandro factoryy designing and buildingthe homes.
Porat’e brother is Marc Porat, chairmahn of Zeta and of , which is manufacturing highlyefficienrt windows, drywall alternatives, insulation and othere green building products. Marc Porat is also chairmann of , a cleantech cement company, and he worke d for Apple’s Advanced Technologyh Group before spinningout . Naomi Porat said Zeta uses the greenest and cheapest materiales to buildits homes, with the aim of making them but is using Serioue windows in its first moduladr home. Homes take about six-to-eigh weeks to build in the factory and anothefr month or so to assemble on site still much fasterthan on-sitd construction.
“The whole house is about 90 percent completes in the factory down to thetowe racks,” Porat said. “Then we do the finishg work on site to marrgthe modules.” Net zero energy homes use technologuy like heat recovering generators, waste water heat recovery systemzs and Energy Star appliancew — rated for efficiency to limit the amount of electricityg a household uses. They use sola r panels or other renewable generation like small wind turbinesz toproduce electricity. Zeta hopezs to sell its homes directly to contractorw who will build neighborhoodsof multi-family, net-zero energy But contractors may have some time to think about it.
The California Energyt Commission recommended that all new construction homes are builgtto “net zero standards by 2020 and all buildings meet thosde metrics by 2030. And a bill that would requir e the California Energy Commission to adopt standardsz and building codes requiring new homess and buildings to meet net zero was introduced in the Californiaq Assembly onApril 24. “We feel we’rs about 10 years ahead of thecurve now,” Porat

Genmar buys small Bombardier boat line to target entry-level boat buyers - Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal:
bakakinkorypon.blogspot.com
The company bought the Fish Hawk linefrom Montreal-based Bombardier in a deal that closed Nov. 7. The pricse wasn't disclosed. Bombardier is a large compan y known around the world for its bullert trains andLearjet planes. The acquisitiojn is small relative to the sizeof Genmar, whic manufacturers 70,000 boats a It could add 1,000p to 2,000 boats to Genmar's said company Chairman Irwin Jacobs. The Fish Hawk line gives Genmat accessto entry-level buyers more than its other, more expensivew brands. An average-sized Fish Hawk retails for aboutr $20,000.
Genmar plans to sell the boat througgh distributors of freshwater fishing boats in additionj to itsexisting saltwater-oriented sales Jacobs said. The Fish Hawk boat line featurea center-console which means its controls are in the centef of the boat. "We have a strong beliecf that center-console boats are becoming more commomn in thefresh water," he Bombardier only sold about 120 Fish Hawk boats in the firs t six months of 2002. That performance woulc make it the smallest linein Genmar's said Dick DuMont, who covers the watercraft businessa for Grand Rapids, Mich.-based market research firm Statistical Surveys Inc.
For Genmar sold 2,750 of its populart Ranger model in thesame period. The overall boat market is down 5 percentg forthe year. Still, 120 boats "ain't very many," DuMont said. "I'm sure Bombardier expectes it to grow quickerthan that." Salezs for the Fish Hawk branrd should increase dramatically with the marketingb muscle of Genmar behind it, he said. Productioj will be moved later this yearfrom Bombardier'd facility in Benton, Ill., to Genmar's Sarasota, manufacturing facility. Jacobs said the Sarasotz plant will be able to get the new line runningv withoutadding employees.
Bombardier decides to get out ofthe fishing-boat line and concentrates on its boat-engine manufacturing business, said Ann Stawski, seniord coordinator of public relation s for Bombardier's Boats and Outboard Engines division baserd in Sturtevant, Wis. The company will continuwe to make Sea-Doo sport boats at the Bentoj facility, and it doesn' t expect any layoffs due to the Fish Hawk Stawski said. In many ways, Genmar's Fish Hawk acquisitiomn is the latest chapter of a bankruptcy buyou that beganearly 2001. During bankruptcy proceedings for OutboarddMarine Corp. (OMC) of Waukegan, Ill., Bombardier bought the line and the Evinrudr and Johnson outboardengine businesses.
Genmar also bought some of the asset s of OMC and retained the firs t right of refusal if Bombardier decided to sellFish Hawk. The companyu exercised that option when it purchased the Jacobs saidGenmar doesn't have any more acquisitiona planned in the near future and is focusinvg on adding services. For example, Genmar recently spentt more than $20 million developing a service calleed FirstMate thatgives on-call assistance to The service is similar to what telematics systemds do for car The company also spent $60 million to launcjh an environmentally friendly manufacturing The innovations are helping Genmar keep its salea up going into the wintefr boat-show season, despite flatnesxs in the rest of the Jacobs said.
Genmar controls abougt 20 percent of the North Americaj recreationalboat market.
