    First commercial building to achieve Net Zero Electric in USA

    Already Green!

    First commercial building to achieve Net Zero Electric in USA

    For the first time a commercial facility in
    the US produced enough electrical energy from a renewable energy source to
    meet its entire electric utility demand for a full year. Ferreira
    Construction headquarters in Branchburg NJ, utilizes renewable energy to
    produce all of the electricity needed to operate their 42,000 sq ft
    building, a combination of office and shop space.

    The 31 Tannery Project exceeded expectations by not only producing all of
    the electric energy needed to run this facility but generated a surplus of
    energy. This "green" energy surplus was made available for use by other
    businesses to reduce their carbon footprint and use of fossil fuels. The
    project team invented a new proprietary, patent-pending energy efficiency
    and building system monitoring solution which proved critical to their
    success . This monitoring system can now be shared nation wide to help
    other companies significantly reduce their energy consumption

    The US Dept. of Energy has set a goal that renewable energy buildings will
    be commercially viable by 2024. The 31 Tannery Project and Ferreira
    Construction have completed a major step forward to achieving the goal set
    by the DOE. A key element of this amazing project is 100% return on
    investment in just 5 to 7 years. The project team is committed to sharing
    this impressive design with the US DOE and the state of NJ. It is the goal
    of Ferreira Construction and the 31 Tannery Project to educate and provide
    other companies with the tools to utilize standard building designs,
    renewable energy, high efficiency systems, and their new patent-pending
    monitoring system to spread this energy efficiency strategy across the US .

    Joseph Grabowski and Ed Brzezowski, the team responsible for the technology
    implemented, look forward to sharing this success and welcome all inquiries.
