ABOUT GREENPORTAL
IOWA BASED WITH DECADES OF INNOVATIVE SUSTAINABILITY PROJECTS
GreenPortal is an organization founded by Tom Simon, for research and development
of innovations in sustainable energy management. For several decades, Simon has
spearheaded projects with Iowa State University, the State of Iowa, UPS, Xerox, H-P, IBM,
Litton Industries, and others that have been on the leading edge of advanced
technology solutions built around sustainability. Websites include: MyTown.Center,
Greenportal.org, MyiOffice.com.
Simon has also worked in academia to build student teams around energy
management innovations. Because of these efforts he developed a model for
measuring energy transmittance using infrared thermopile sensors integrated into a wi fi
mesh network to transmit energy data to a cloud based analytics platform. It was while
researching manufacturing partners to build his system that Simon was introduced to
greenTEG. Recognizing greenTEG’s scientific credentials, existing technology and
manufacturing expertise, Simon sought to build a partnering relationship for mutual
benefit.
The greenTEG system described in this proposal represents the pinnacle of global
sophistication in heat flux sensor technology. GreenPortal’s role as a preferred
distribution partner can provide Alliant Energy with local access to direct interaction
with greenTEG technology and expertise in energy management physics applied to
commercial, municipal, educational and health care campus, as well as residential
buildings.
HOW WE CAN WORK WITH ALLIANT
Alliant Energy offices in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Madison, Wisconsin have substantial
resources in people, programs, facilities, and technology as well as strategic alliances
with others committed to innovative energy solutions and sustainability. Alliant has
taken a leadership position to introduce new products like smart metering, electric
vehicle charging and solar power generation. Alliant has a long history helping
customers reduce energy waste and devotes significant resources in educating and
supporting customers with energy audits and financial incentives to invest in energy
saving improvements for both new and existing buildings.
Our proposal is to first demonstrate and then introduce significant advancements in
speed and accuracy for precise measurement of energy loss along with real time
analytics that simplify existing methods to cost justify and implement energy saving
improvements. We can work directly with people like Jillian Walsh, Timothy Wisor and
Anna Darling to first demonstrate and then introduce the world’s most advanced U-
Value measurement technology that is uniquely standardized around ISO 9869, ASTM
C1046 and ASTM C1155 protocol.
